8 month old schedule

What do I need to do to stop my baby waking up at 6am?!😩 she’s not waking too early as she normally has around 13/13.5 hours of sleep within that day but how do I change her schedule to accommodate for a later wake up in the morning?!

Sleep Deprived Mama 😩 😴

My 18 month old has NEVER slept through the night. He always wakes up at least 3-4 times and the last few nights have been closer to 6-7. He is still nursing, but I don’t think he’s really getting much other than using me as a pacifier. He eats plenty of solids (usually whatever the rest of the family eats. We even ...

Breastfeeding

Anyone’s little one not feeding on the breast as much in the day then really going for it at night? Like 5 mins if that in the day! Then at night a full on 30 minute feed!😅 feel like she’s filling up in the night resulting in her waking more! And then when she does feed in the day is throwing it all back up 🤦🏼‍♀️…

Aita for thinking about asking my husband to get up with the kids BOTH Saturday and Sunday?

We have always taken turns sleeping in. I get the kids on Saturday so he can sleep in. And he gets them on Sunday. The problem is on days like today. The problem is I’m starting to resent him for his sleep. I get the baby normally 4 times a night. After feeding her and settling her and getting in bed myself, I’m a...

Nappy changing out and about

How the hell are we changing our toddlers if they have had a 💩 out and about? My sons heavy so can’t get him on the fold down changers and there’s no way I’m laying him on a public floor, changing his bum at home is a battle within itself! X

Did you / will you sleep train?

If you did… is it worth the anxiety?

If you didn’t sleep train, when did your baby’s sleep improve?

By improve, I mean go from hourly to three-hourly wakeups, for example. Or your experience’s equivalent. I don’t necessarily mean when they started sleeping completely through the night, as I’m aware this can happen as late as 2/3 years old. Comment if option isn’t available:)

Nap advice

Hey, my LO's naps have been terrible probably for about a month now ( I would say around the time he turned 4 months) he won't nap longer than 50 mins but mostly just 30/40 mins at a time so he's only getting around 2 and a half hours sleep in the day which isn't a lot at all. Still sleeps great at night from 7:30/8...

Is it going to get better?

I don’t think I can do this anymore. When does it end? It’s been 2 months of next to no sleep. I don’t think I can do this anymore. 24 weeks old. EBF.

Bedtime for 10 month old.

What time are you putting your babies to bed at 10 months? We have recently dropped the last nap but this has meant she’s now going to bed anywhere between 6.30-7.30 depending on naps and I worry 6.30 is too early even though she will sleep through until 6.30-7.

Ferber method

For those who have tried Ferber, could you honestly tell me your experiences? Did you have to retrain through sleep regressions? Teething? Or has it just worked and are you all getting better nights sleep? Or did you sack it in and use a different method? With nursery approaching soon, I simply can’t see myself havi...
