Engorgement overnight

My baby sleeps through the night 9/10 pm until anywhere from 430-630 am. how do you manage engorgement? By the middle of the night my breast are so hard. I’d be lying if I said I want to get up and pump because I don’t. I haven’t the last few nights will I eventually even out ?

Sudden change in sleep

My 15 week old was just starting to sleep through the night (9:30pm to 6ish) and now last night suddenly went back to waking up every 3 hours. Is this a sign of sleep regression starting? Also he can’t stop chewing on his hands, is this teething and another reason he could possibly be waking up again?

Bed set up

Had our 13 month visit from the health visitor today and she discussed maybe trying my little one in a bed instead of a cot because she’s currently sleeping with us as she absolutely hates the cot and screams to the point of being inconsolable and can’t catch a breath , she said it would be worth a try but I’m a bit...

Is anyone else still rocking/cuddling their child to sleep?

I feel like at 15 months I should be able to put her in her fur awake but she just stands to be picked up or cries.

Then she sleeps about 5-6 hours and will wake up to eat once during the night. Last night she ate around 10:30 and didn't wake up until 7am!!! My husband and I didn't realize what time it was...

Has anyone successfully got their contact napper to nap in their cot?

If so, how please??? I don’t want to let him cry it out or sleep train exactly. I just want to try and transition him to his cot in prep for nursery. Thank you for any help!

The last week he’s been screaming when we put him in his room despite the routine remaining the same. We are unable to do ‘sleep training’ as when we have tried, on both occasions, he ha...
