My 19 month old has been a really bad sleeper for the past 5/6 months but she's getting worse. Every night without fail she will climb out of her bed and into my bed this is usually about 12/1am in morning sometimes I don't even know she's climbed into my bed she does go back to sleep but not for long. She usually f...

Hey ladies, looking for a recommendation. My baby is 8 weeks and about a week he have been waking up ever hour or so to feed but only eats 2oz at the time.

So my little girl is nearly 1 and a half, I always send her to bed with a fresh nappy, we are currently using a 5+ nappies (Fred and flow) But…. When ever she wakes up in the morning she’s always wet. Any tips?

I keep hearing that the only way to solve the constant night wake ups and short daytime naps during the 4 month sleep regression is by getting your baby to self settle / sleep independently. Is this always the case or can babies grow out of this behavior on their own? Keen to hear people’s thoughts and experiences!

My sons 7 months and we bed share and have since 2 months I’m just wondering if it’s okay for him to sleep on my chest on his belly? He will beg to lay on my chest head above my heart by grabbing at my shirt and trying to pull himself up and fall asleep on me

Anyone else child suddenly getting up early again.... used to be 6.30am (which is perfect as we are out the house by 7.45am)... but now it's 5.50am :(

What are we all doing for daytime naps? My baby sleeps in a love to dream swaddle in the evening with a rockit to help him settle and he sleeps really well but in the day he will only sleep in the pram when we are out and moving, car seat or on me. All contact naps. I love the contact naps but sometimes need my h...

It’s 3 am and my baby refuses to sleep. He kept babbling when I told him it’s bed time. Pulls out the pacifier and continues to go off. I don’t know what to do other than I guess wait it out.

I am in need of some positive 4 month sleep regression stories to save my sanity! 17 week old used to sleep through most nights and last 5 nights she is waking up every 1-2 hrs and has to be rocked back to sleep, and wakes most times I try to put her down. So I’m awake most of the night. She also will only nap in t...

How often is your lo waking during the night? formula fed mostly.. as I know bf is totally different 😂.

My 8.5 month old is currently having 4 hours sleep in the day which is affecting her night sleep as she’s been waking up at 5am no matter what time she goes to bed. I’m thinking I need to cut down her naps in the day to either 3 1 hour naps or 2 1.5 hour naps but I’ve read not to wake a sleeping baby and sometimes h...

I need help. My combination fed baby (9 months next week) is waking up at least every hour past 2am. I've been working on getting him into the cot after co sleeping (the only way to preserve my sanity!). He's never been a good sleeper and has always woken frequently but after 8 months of this I just can't continue...

I am one exhausted mama! 28 weeks pregnant with number 2, working full time, had a recent bereavement, multiple episodes of generic sickness like colds bugs and dealing with a 26 month old toddler from hell right. Well not really but he is challenging. He’s never been a great sleeper but we had a stint of sleeping ...

So baby is 8 months old and has a dummy to go to sleep. But now we find we're up the majority of the night with her because she's crying when she's lost it. So we've decided to start weaning her off it. Does anyone have any tips or advice?

My lo is 15 months old and has recently developed an attachment to a comforter. The kind with a small soft blanket attached to a soft animal head. I have been very anxious about letting him have it for sleeping overnight but am I being over cautious? Does anyone else let their baby have one and if so from what age?

I have a 4 month old and I just can’t get her to sleep in the bassinet. She contact naps during the day, as soon as I put her down she wakes up. At night if I put her in bassinet she either wakes up instantly or within 5 minutes. But when she’s on the bed she sleeps the whole night only waking to nurse then goes rig...

My baby girl has been fussing pretty much non stop for the past 2 hours and she’s been changed but doesn’t really want to be fed more than an ounce and that was 2 hrs ago. I don’t know what it is or what to do, if she falls asleep it’s not for longer than 5 min she’s only like 3 days old, my son never did this

My LG is 5 and a half months and is asking every 1.5-2 hours at night for a feed sometimes these are really short and for comfort, others are longer - it doesn’t seem to matter how much she has during the day. She won’t be settled by my partner rocking her and just cries until she is fed. It’s leaving me feeling so ...
