Currently been seen by a gp and waiting for appointments but there un sure so wanted to check here if this happens anyone else's LO My son is 10 weeks old when he sleeps he goes pale in his face and hands when he wakes he is grand the colour comes back. When he has a longer sleep (4/5 hours) he wakes up the arms a...

*EDIT* FORGOT TO MENTION... this photo is not his crib where he sleeps at night. This is a spare one downstairs where i watch him during the day :) in his crib he has no blankets- just the mattress and fitted sheet. What do you do? Do you leave them to sleep in that position ? Or do you roll them back ? Mine has...

Help! My 4 month old is getting really groggy during the day. All I hear mums on TikTok go on about is routine.. nap times, feed times etc. I’ve always just taken her lead! I feel like now it’s catching up and I’ve messed up. How do I even know where to start?

How was everyone's night? My 12 week old boy has been a pretty good sleeper so far and been doing around a 5-6 hour chunk at the start of the night for a while now. But tonight he's woken every 2 hours at 1am, 3am, 5am and cried a bit which is unlike him. At first I thought he had wind but I fed him each time he wok...

Does anyone have any advice, my LO is almost 4 weeks old now, she’s not the best sleeper at night, she used to be amazing and would go 2/3 hours between feeds however lately she won’t even let me put her down, she wakes straight away and cries so I’m getting no sleep. We’ve tried swaddling & white noise but at a loo...

We're currently going through the 8/9m sleep regression and it's killing me. Question; baby wakes up at 3.35am, do you fight and battle for 2 hours to return to sleep... Or just get up for the day? Cos mines been up since 3.35am for the third time in the last 4 days and he's still up now (5am). Thanks, tired m...

How long after your baby wakes for the day do they have their first nap? My little boy will sleep through the night for 7-8 hours.. wake up for the day have a bottle and a play.. but then an hour later he’s so tired and gone down for a nap. Is this normal? 😂 rest of the day he can have about a 4 hour wake window

Am I doing something wrong?! My boy has always been a frequent waker in the night like every 2 hours ish but goes down easy. The last week or so?! He’s waking up like every 45 minutes and I’m going mad. Am I doing something wrong here or will it pass?! I’ve resorted to bringing him into bed at like 1/2am because I...

My little boy has always been quite good with his sleep, often sleeping 8:30-5:30 and the odd night waking at 3:30 for a feed! Past couple of weeks he’s been waking up all hours, not really wanting a feed or needing a change sometimes going back to sleep within half an hour but can take up to an hour / two…

Am I doing something wrong or is this just a phase and part of the 4 month sleep regression? He used to sleep so much better as a newborn 🙈 Just turned 5mo on the 17th. I don’t know if it’s also his gums/teeth hurting but he has calpol to take the edge off. Other things I’ve tried: *Moving bedtime later…

OK so I'm not sure what to do here, my daughter is 2 months old and she's starting to get a flat spot on her head. I lay her on her back for bed and nap because that's what I was told, and that sleeping on her stomach can be deadly. I have one of those neck pillow things that people bring on flights or road trips (I...

My LO has just turned 4 weeks and in the last 2/3 days we’ve noticed that he literally won’t stop crying during the day. I can tell he is overtired and needs a nap but he just is so not ready to settle - we go hours with him sleeping for a max of 10-15 mins before he wakes up screaming (at first I thought it was cau...

My baby is 3 months Friday and early this morning she was laying on me and I couldn’t feel her breath, I called her name (tho only 3 months she is VERY responsive and aware of things around her) and she didn’t open her eyes and I lifted her up and placed her in from of me and tried to get her up… it took a minute be...

Guys - my son just doesn’t like to go to bed early loool. His last nap of the day is like 5pm and he will sleep until 6/6:30pm and then will finally have his last bottle and go down for his long sleep between 9:30 and 10.pm. No matter how early I put him down and have him in his cot in a quiet and dark room he will...

My baby is 6 months in a few days and he’s always been a bad sleeper. He wakes multiple times during the night and can often be really difficult to resettle after waking and he only sleeps during the day if he’s on me or being pushed in the pram. I have tried everything experts and friends have suggested with no su...

I love my baby and enjoy cuddling with him. But I’m touched out. I have been finding myself laying baby down as soon as he falls asleep just because I don’t want him on me. Is that bad? I feel like it has been messing with his naps because after I set him down he wakes back up 10 minutes later but calms down as soo...

So my little girl can’t stay awake longer than 1hr 30 mins in the morning. She is on 2 naps a day. She can go 3 hours before her second nap. But just wondered if anyone else’s little one can only stay awake for a certain amount of time in the morning ?

Who’s baby has transitioned to 2 naps? I really don’t know what to do as recently my boy has been sleeping great with 3 naps (2x 1 hour and then a catnap) and sleeps from 7:45-6:45 without wakings. The last two nights he’s woken up earlier (one 6am and today 5am) last night he went to bed an hour earlier as he ski...

Has anyone else got a fomo baby. It seems like the only time during the day she closes her eyes is to feed. That is like a quick recharge and she’s up again. Does anyone have any tips on getting your LO to nap during the day! It’s causing problems at night as she’s really over tired and fussy. She’s 9 weeks old for ...

Has anyone else noticed a change in sleep/ nap of their 7 months old baby? My little boy has never been a good sleeper however lately his naps are only for 15-25 minutes and he doesn’t sleep for more than 2 or 3 naps a day. I watch his awake windows and have some type of routine but he is so cranky and unsettled tha...
