Dummy

Anyone have any idea on how to ease the transition of taking my 2 year old off the dummy? We're nothing finding it hard! I've tried cutting it and going cold turkey, he doesn't like the cut dummy and cries for a different one.

Bedtime bottle

My daughter will be 15 months tomorrow .. she is still taking a bottle before bed. Is anyone else in the same boat? For anyone who has weaned off, can you give me any recommendations? I've tried just rocking her but she pushes me away and cries. I tried a sippy cup and she wasn't having it.

Tips to get the baby sleeping without carrying him

My baby will only sleep while I carry him and as soon as we put him down during the day he tends to wake up within 10 minutes. We’ve been doing lots of contact naps lately as a result. Our doula has said to stop doing this asap or it will be a hard habit to break down the line. How does everyone get their babies to ...

What time do your LOs go to sleep nowadays?

We pushed my daughter’s bedtime back a month or so ago as she was consistently waking up at 5.30. It has helped her wake later but she’s usually not asleep til 8 now (seems to be taking her longer to go to sleep too) which I feel is quite late! Interested in what time others are in bed/asleep by?
