Sleeping on stomach

My little one just turned 5 months old and started rolling back to front and now does this in his sleep! This morning I found him sleeping on his stomach and it freaked me out. He was fine asleep in his bassinet. Anyone else experiencing this or have any advice? He just has a sheet on his bassinet and sleeps in a sl...

Sleep Apnea?

Does anyone have sleep apnea? Or suspect that they do? My boyfriend says it sounds like I can’t breathe when I’m sleeping and I snore extremely loud. I thought I was experiencing sleep paralysis but the more I Google I feel like it’s sleep apnea. I’m going to talk to my doc @ my next appointment but thought I’d ask....

20 minute naps

My boy is 6 and a half months and was taking 30-45 minutes naps up until he turned 6 months, now his naps are only 20 mins long and come afternoon he's so miserable and needs to be on my hip to be happy. However he is sleeping through the might most nights now. He does about a 2 hour awake window and will then show ...

Sleep training

I’d like to start sleep training. I’ve attempted to do this for nap times recently but struggling because as I lay her down in the cot (sleepy), she will immediately sit herself and start crawling around. I leave her, go in and settle her when she’s crying but the other day it was an hour of trying before I gave up ...

Kept waking up

So my LO is 8 months and we just spent 2 weeks at my parents house. Whilst we there, I co slept as they didn’t have a cot for us. Now that we’re back home, LO slept so awful during the night. Wouldn’t settle, wouldn’t go back to sleep, would keep waking up when we would put him back down. Could this be because he’s ...

Wake up/bed time

To all the BF mamas out there, at what time do you aim to put your baby to sleep, and at what time is your wake-up time? I'm still trying to figure out the best schedule for now and the future, and I'm not sure what might work best! Any tips?

Frequent Wakings

Anyone else’s almost 10 month old starting to backtrack with sleeping? I could normally get her to sleep around 9 or 9:30 , up at 3 or 4 for a feeding , back to sleep until 7 or 8. She has completely reversed now and she’s starting to wake up super early and many times throughout the night. HELP 😣

SLEEP 3.5 month old

Do you feed your baby every time they wake over night? My baby wakes 3-4 times a night and we have just gone from feeding him 2 times a night down to 1 times a night as we found his gut seems less irritable (less farting and squirming). Now I’ve read myself into confusion and wondering if we made the right call....

Melatonin

Hello everyone, what are your thoughts on taking melatonin to help get restful sleep at night during pregnancy. I have been taking Tylenol pm for the past few nights, but wanted to take something more natural. My doctor said it’s okay, but wouldn’t give me a dosage to start off with. So I’m thinking 3 mg. Please let...

Help! Nap time meltdowns 😭

My 15-week old has been having HUGE meltdowns when it comes to napping during the day and he’s been doing it for weeks, maybe a month or so. But when it comes to nighttime sleep he doesn’t have the same meltdowns. My husband and I think he fights FOMO, not allowing himself to sleep when he’s tired. But it’s exhaus...
