How many nights until you saw a difference? Did you change day naps or just night? On hourly wake ups right now, I'd do anything

Dreading bedtime

I absolutely can’t stand bed time and my patience runs on fumes. My son is 3.5 years old and freaking bedtime takes about an hour. It hadn’t always been like that, when he was a baby/toddler, his bedtime routine was much better. We don’t have life changes, household changes or anything else that would trigger this....

How to get baby to sleep longer at night - bottle formula feeding

My baby boy is 12 weeks old, and he’s still waking up in the night for food every 3 hours or so, whereas during the day he can go anywhere between 3 - 5 hours. We are bottle feeding, he takes between 5-6oz of formula per bottle. Has anyone found anything that has helped their babies get longer stretches at night?…

Suddenly waking up during the night

My little boy (19 months old) has always been a great sleeper, sleeping 10 hours from 6 months and 12 hours from before the age of 1. But all of a sudden, every night this last week or so, he’s started waking in the night around 12-1am and is really unsettled. Why could this be and how should we tackle it?

Swaddling

My boy is 3 weeks old and I’ve never managed to get him settled in a swaddle! Have tried multiple different types of swaddles and blankets. He seems to much prefer sleeping with his arm free. Does anyone else’s baby hate being swaddled?

Sleep Regression?

Does anyone else’s 4 month old refuse to nap? Mine was up 8 hours and still fought sleep. I know it’s very unhealthy for her and I have tried everything I can think of but she just flat refuses to nap until she just cant take it anymore and crashes.

Overnight nappy changes

What are we all doing about nappy changes overnight? My LG is EBF and wakes up every 2 hours at night on average. If I catch her in the right time she goes back to sleep, but if I change her diaper she will stay awake for an hour or two.

Feeding

Do I still have to wake my 5 week old every 3-4 hours during night or just wait for her to wake? And she’s taking 5oz each bottle is this okay at that age. Thanks

Rolling in bed

My LB is 4 months. Since learning to roll he wakes in the night, rolls on to his tummy and screams. He knows how to roll back so I really don't know what's wrong.
