My guy is almost 8 months and we have been cosleeping since birth basically. Grandma and grandpa watch him two days a week while my partner and I work (only for like 4 hours max) but they cannot get my son to go down for a nap for the life of them. I want to at least be able to set my son down in his crib for a nap ...

Nursing mamas, are your July babies still nursing to sleep? My LG will not sleep without nursing and still wakes up at least 3 times a night to nurse. I am so knackered as she has never slept through the night EVER and very worried about how I will cope going back to work in June 😔 Should say we co sleep as well…

Okay before I go crazy.. baby boy turned 2 months and all of a sudden baps went through the window. He barely slept 2 hours in the whole day making it impossible for him to nap. Tried literally everything… Couldn’t go for a walk as is pissing down! Do I just let him be awake? He doesn’t cry or fuss too much yet, but...

Hey girls, is anyone else suffering from restless legs? I’m 16 weeks pregnant with my first! It’s keeping me up at night and so uncomfortable sometimes even during the day! I’ve had a little Google and it’s saying exercise, hot baths etc but any other advice would be great 🥰

hi everyone, my baby is 4 months old and we’ve been bedsharing since he came home (wasn’t the plan but it was the only way we both got sleep) we usually sleep in a c curl, but these past couple of days he’s been kicking a lot and will only stay asleep if he’s on my boob, if he unlatches he immediately wakes up and c...

What does everyone’s routine look like with 1 nap. My daughter has started waking up an hour later so the past few days I’ve only been letting her have 1 nap so that bedtimes still on track. She’ll nap for 1h30 to 2hrs so still the same amount of time she was getting with 2 naps really. But she seems to be getting s...

Hello! My LO is now 11w and rolled today unexpectedly from belly to back during tummy time. He definitely can’t do back to belly but he can lift his hips in the air, and lifts both head and shoulders during tummy time. I thought we had a bit more time lol and have a L2D arms up swaddle to transition him away from ...

Man since a newborn my baby always slept through the night mostly I was the one that had to wake her to eat but once she was 2 months I stopped doing night feeds since doc said if she’s sleeping through night not to wake her up and ever since things have been so nice she would sleep through the whole night doing 8-1...

My boy (6months) seems to wake up at the slightest sound.. even in his own room it’s lights off all cosy.. if someone runs a tap or shuts a door! I’m So sick of telling everyone else to shushhh including my 7 year old but if I didn’t he wouldn’t get any sleep at all? Will he grow out of it 😂😂😂😂

Does anyone have any advice on how to get my baby to take longer naps? She really seems to struggle to nap for longer than 20-30 minutes and gets so fussy very fast during her next wake window.

I’m a first time mom and my son has almost outgrown his crib, he’s so tall 😩😅 I don’t really think he’s ready for the freedom of a toddler bed, but I think our days are numbered. So.. how do I do this? 😅 what do I need? I’m definitely anxious, he’s a wild child and I’m nervous about what the extra freedom in his…

We have just put our 20 month old in his cot bed and he’s done great but I’m wondering if we put him in a single what sort of mattress we need His cot one is thinner and harder than our bed

For those of you who got through regression, what were the signs your baby was getting done with regression? Mine has lost appetite drastically since yesterday (usually eats over 30oz/day and now down to 20oz). Wondering if it’s the sign she’s at the tail end of it. Also how long did the regression last? Thanks so m...

How can I get my baby to nap in the cot? Sometimes she does sometimes she doesn’t, I know people say soak up the contact naps but I am drowning in to dos and the contact naps chewing off my nipple and breaking my back just aren’t sustainable I am literally losing my shit she’s one year old everyone said it would get...

I took my LB to my moms for the day today, and he wouldn’t do his afternoon nap there🙈 he just kept rolling onto his back and front for 35 minutes and wouldn’t sleep- this isn’t like him as at home he sleeps so good! Do I just keep trying 🙈 the room at my moms is quite bright compared to at ours so dunno if he was…

This is not something I would ever think I’d say but my twins are sleeping for 14 hours almost every night and it’s starting to worry me. We put them to bed between 6 and 7 pm and they used to wake up between 6am and 8am and take two 1-2 hour naps everyday. However, for the past week they have been waking up between...

Hello everyone My 17 month old will not sleep more than 10 hours at night. It’s been like this for about 6 months. I’ve tried literally everything but nothing has worked - earlier/later bedtime/ food before bed/ playing outside before bed/ bath. I keep seeing babies should get no less than 11 hours of sleep at t...
