4/5yr olds in particular

My boy wakes up alot and is very hard to put to sleep at night. Its hard because I want my time too and I try to put my kids to bed by 9 pm but omg my 11 month refuses .

Morning Any tried and tested methods to delay 5:30 wakes please ?

It’s been 2 weeks since i have adjusted my toddler’s schedule. Before she was waking up 9am, nap 1-3, and sleep at 10:30. Now she wakes up at 8 to 8:15 naps at 12:30-2 (only 1.5 hours now) shortened nap but she still doesn’t fall asleep until close to 10. I’m hoping to have an earlier bedtime any advice?

Sometime before my son turned 2 I’ve been having such a struggle during bedtime. He naps perfectly fine and will fall asleep with no trouble. At bedtime it’s a nightmare..he is put in his crib, we read books and now he will just cry and scream once I turn off the light (he sleeps in the room with my husband and I) w...

My formula fed 7 week is still waking every 2-3 hours for a feed a night - is everyone else’s?? This is my second and my first had dropped a night feed by this point and was doing feed at 8pm, dream feed at 11pm the wake 4am and 8am! My first was a really good sleeper so that could be it and my second is more ‘norm...

My LO is a great sleeper but always wakes about 5/6am for a feed and then wakes at 7/8am for the day and only will have a tiny feed. How do I stop the 5am feed?!

My 2 month old daughter literally refuses to sleep, and I am so exhausted and tired and out of it. Every time I think she falls asleep the moment I put her down, she starts crying. She wants to be on the breast every second. I am literally at my breaking point right now. She is still up as I am typing this message. ...

Anyone really struggling with their 4 month old sleeping? Been told this is the time you let them cry it out a bit but my daughter will keep crying and won’t stop until I pick her up. She then fall asleep and then will wake up an hour later. I will put her back to sleep and then she will sleep for maybe 2 hours ma...

My LO is experiencing sleep regression, he’s just 4 months old, he literally wakes up every hour. Any advice please 🙏

My baby is ebf and still wakes up a few times each night for milk, she sleeps around 7.30/8-8.30 ish on average but wakes usually around 11.30-12:30 and then every 2-3 hours from then People at my husbands work keep asking if she’s sleeping through yet and when he says no they have made comments like she must not ...

My 4 month old can't go more than 2 hours at night without the boob 😅.I'm so exhausted! It's been 5 weeks so hoping it's the sleep regression and will end soon. Will he just gradually be able to last longer? Or can I do anything to fill him up more?

Hi, my little boy is 6 months old and he only seems to sleep well when he co-sleeps with me. (No judgement please, we co-sleep as safe as possible he’s got no duvets on him just his sleep bag). He usually sleeps in a next to me but he’ll wake at least 3-4 times crying in there whereas in my bed he’ll wake maybe once...

At what age do you change your bassinet to the chair on your pram for your LO ?

My 6month old LB has never slept more than 2.5hours. I do all the nights and I’m exhausted. It’s been 6 months of this already. He’s maybe done the odd 3 hours stretch once or twice but most nights he’s up every hour. I usually manage to get him to keep his eyes closed and fall back asleep after every wake up until ...

So my son is just shy of 2 months and he’s refusing to sleep. I keep rocking him and he won’t sleep as soon as he realizes I’ve stopped rocking him he starts screaming. I cuddled him for hours, changed and fed him. I even walked away for a few minutes to breathe and he fell asleep but woke up immediately. I don’t kn...

Feeling so stressed that bub doesn’t want to sleep much during day but is very content

Anyone’s else’s baby waking themselves up in the cot? I’ll be up with her settle her and get her off to sleep, then as soon as I put her in her cot she wakes herself up and fusses. Anyone got any tips for a very tired mama?😂😭

Hey all! So my 6 month old girl started a month ago I believe sleeping on her stomach (lay her down on her back immediately rolls to tummy to sleep). She moved around A LOT in her sleep and before she actually settles enough or gets comfy to sleep lol. And idk I guess maybe she drags her face alone the bed sheet too...

Writing this very pregnant and very fed up. Has anyone dropped their toddlers nap yet? I’m seriously considering it. I think she still needs the sleep in the day but it’s the only thing I’ve not yet tired. It’s taking atleast an hour to get her to sleep at night and she’s now waking up every night through the night...
