Community Posts, Tips & Support on Baby Sleep

Baby is 10 days old today and cries unless she is held... so I end up holding her on my lap the majority of the day, whilst she feeds or sleeps, then my partner will usually take her and hold her to give me breaks. At night, we've started co sleeping with her on sofa during shifts. As she will not stay down asleep i...

Before you start attacking me, I know the safest way for my baby to sleep is flat in his crib without any blankets or pillows, but my baby has been dealing with reflux and it is so frustrating to see him grunting and squirming in his sleep and have doctors tell me my baby is fine. what do you think about this suppos...

Hey my little one is nearly 6 months but she’s just not very chilled, she’s generally good at night but in the day the naps are often non existent and there tends to still be a lot of crying or shouting. The reason I’ve put ‘chilled babies’ is because everyone I’ve spoken to or seen seems to have a chilled baby and ...

Life of a mum on a feeding plan 🤪 If anyone has any tips on how to survive on low sleep that would be appreciated, only managed 3 hours last night as she decided not to settle between the 2330 and 0230 feed 😳

My 8mo old keeps taking her diaper off when it’s time for bed. She sleeps in a crib across the room. The night before last I heard the Velcro noise from her diaper multiple times but when I looked over in her crib I couldn’t figure out what it was. She had only unfastened one side. Last night however, I heard the no...

How's everyone coping with leap 4? My LG has gone from smiley to demon! She just cries and it's breaking me 😫😕 any tips

My little one, 6 months, wakes up every time I try to put her down for a nap. She is absolutly fine being put down for bed and through the night, she’ll nap in her pram but when I try to put her down in the day she wakes up and stays awake. I do exactly the same thing as what we do at bed time, white noise, sleep sa...

My baby boy is 2 months old and has began to not want to nap during the day however sleeps beautifully during the night? Is anyone else going through the same thing or knows what to do??

My little girl is 8 months and is on 2 naps a day. She normally has a longer morning nap and shorter afternoon but recently I’ve had to wake her up from her afternoon nap as it’s getting too late and she goes to bed at 6.45pm. She’s so moody when I wake her up I feel so bad! Does anyone else wake their LO one up aft...

She’s normally awake a lot in the daytime but today she has slept so much. She went to sleep for 5 hrs straight (feed in between) but very grumpy and drowsy. Anyone else experienced this? Also, not sure if this is related but she woke up with half a swollen eyelid this morning. It’s gone down now and looks completel...

My baby is 10 weeks now and will only contact nap in the sling during the morning/early afternoon. Night time she can go in her next to me but occasionally will want to bed share (safely of course). After 3pm ish, it’s always so hard to get her to nap, even in the sling! I don’t know what to do, but she just fusse...

Anyone else’s baby just jump on the bed like it’s a trampoline when you’re side lying? I swear he’s going to come out standing up 😅

How long does it take you to get your little one down of an evening? An hour later and we’re still wriggling/fighting it 🤦🏻‍♀️🤦🏻‍♀️ she’s slept all day so I’m not sure what I expected

For example: 6am - Bottle 7am - Breakfast 10am - Bottle Etc? My son wakes at 6am and falls asleep around 6pm. He will not stay up later… It’s such a struggle to fit in 3 meals and 3 bottles…

My six week old is refusing to sleep and I’ve had five hours sleep in 48 hours. is anyone else dealing with this or have any tips? I am exhausted!😫

My baby is 16 weeks (4 months on 4th August). I'm pretty sure we have reached the dreaded 4 month sleep regression. Last night my baby was up every hour, I woke up 8 times to attend to my baby. And now tonight, the moment I put her down, she is in tears. I'm trying to put her down in a state of her being sleepy but ...

Does anyone recommend dream feeding? Does it work? If so, what do you do?

I was always told a baby’s routine is to eat, play, sleep repeat but my baby does play, eat, sleep and repeat or sometimes eat, play, eat again, sleep and repeat. Does this matter? Or am I being silly wondering this haha

My 3 month old loves being swaddled, I think that’s how I get her to sleep through the night. However, I know it’s getting time to start transitioning out of swaddles. What do you guys recommend on this?

Just experienced two false starts two nights in a row all of a sudden! This has never happened before? Why do they happen and how do you stop them? Having a baby who already doesn’t sleep through the night and wakes every 3 hours causes enough anxiety around bedtime. Throwing in false starts is pushing me over the...
