Anyone else’s bedtime just become so terrible since their child turned 1. Like she does great at bath time, but as soon as I lay her down to put on a diaper it’s terrible. Piercing cries for 15-20 minutes. We co-sleep, so it’s not like I’m leaving her. And she nurses before bed, sometimes to sleep, sometimes not. La...

My 9 week old just won’t sleep. All day long they just cat nap, maybe managing a few 20 minute naps. Then at night it can take 3+ hours to settle for bed. And then they’ll be awake 1/2 hourly and up for an hour each time. I just don’t know what to do anymore. I’ve tried all the usual tricks, dark room, white noise...

Hi Moms! So my daughter was sick in December and she was sleeping with us at night. We tried getting her back in her crib once she felt better and she won’t stay in her crib not even for her naps. Any suggestions on how to get her back on track?

What is everyone's feeding schedule like? My baby loves to sleep so he doesn't get up till 730 usually, takes 2 naps (1.5 hrs total) and is passed out by 7pm. They say at this age babies need to eat 3 meals, 2 snacks AND milk while keeping it all 2-3 hours apart. It is quite literally unrealistic.

How often do you change your little one’s nappy during the night? I’m breastfeeding & find that if I change him after a feed he’s then wide awake (when he was in a milk coma). Are you changing after every feed?

Hii everyone, Hope you’re all well! Just looking for a bit of advice really. My LO is 9 months old and he used to sleep so well in his next to be crib, im talking sleeping through most of the night. Of course a couple of months ago he became too big for his next to me, so we had to switch to the cot. At first he sle...

Hi ladies Im expecting my little girl in a couple weeks (29th! 😊🥹) So I have a Snoo bed in our bedroom which baby will inherit from her older brother when we’re upstairs for some naps and bed time. As well as a big cot bed for later. However with my first - I didn’t have to worry about where baby sleeps…

When should you start offering a pacifier to your new born?

I have been using a white noise machine with my 1 year old for a few months now and I feel like it helps her sleep and also muffles any other sound that could wake her up. Today the charger just broke and no other charger that we have in the house works. She kept waking up due to not having the white noise so I star...

Anyone else dreading baby outgrowing the bedside bassinet and having to sleep in their own room? Makes me so sad. 😞 I just want to keep baby in my room next to me, especially since she still wakes for feedings 1-2 times per night! I know cosleeping is an option but my husband being in the bed makes it super…

Is anyone else struggling with sleep atm? My LO is 7mo and all of a sudden he started waking up every single hour. Doesn't matter how long his wake windows are, how many naps he has, how much food he gets etc. Every night we're up and down like a yoyo until we give up and take him to bed. He still wakes up every hou...

Do you put baby in the sleeping bag before or after they fall asleep? Are they taken out the bag each time for a feed and for a nappy change too?

I am home alone with 6 weeks baby. She was so peaceful and she didn’t cry a lot until 2 days ago. Yesterday and today was horrible, she won’t sleep, she is very angry, she just want me to walk around with her. What do I do? I feel exhausted. When this gets easier?😭😭😭 Ps how long your breastfed baby sleep? Mine is…

Does anyone else have any issues with putting baby in the pram when going for walks? My LG, 10 weeks, cries as soon as I put her in, so I've ended up getting into habit of waiting until she naps (in my arms) and then placing her in the pram, racing out the door and hope she doesn't wake up whilst on the walk. I re...

Hi does anyone’s baby only love daytime contact naps. He seems to sleep fine in his crib at night, all night. But during the day he only will nap via contact. Any ways to break this?

Is anyone else’s baby in zero routine, has no ‘bed time’ and when they do finally settle for the night it’s 11/12pm? She’s very unpredictable with feeds, bottle fed and just feeds when she wants? Feel there is so much pressure to have them in a routine and sleeping through?! I’m fairly relaxed but am wondering ...

For those who co sleep or bring baby into your bed partway through the night… Where are you putting baby in the bed? If you have a partner, is baby in middle of you both or just on your side? Scared of baby falling out of the bed but I remember reading that baby shouldn’t be in the middle. When does safe sleep s...

My LO has begun rolling so we need to move to a sleeping bag. This might sound like a silly question but do I put my baby to sleep and then put him into the sleeping bag? He's not falling asleep by himself yet so we either rock him or he falls asleep in the bouncer and then we put him in the crib. Thank you

My LO is exclusively breastfed and is 8 weeks old this week. He only ever sleeps for an hour or so at a time, even during the night, and feeds every 2 hours. Is this normal for breastfed babies? Is there anything I can do to prompt longer sleeping during the night? Lack of sleep on my part is starting to take its toll.

When did your baby start sleeping all night?
