Anyone else had this with th...

Going from 1 to 2 advice please

My baby is due in April and my toddler will be 2 years and 4 months old. Would you bother with a double pram at this point? My toddler is a confident walker but does tend to get lazy after 15 mins or so. I’m thinking about a buggy board for her or she can go in the pushchair and baby can go in the carrier. But I don...

Feeding timings

My baby is 6 and a half weeks old and I've noticed is going longer stretches at night, sometimes between 5-6 hours. I'm just worried as it says online that at this age they should be feeding between 3-4 hours. She's putting weight on and is above her birth weight. She's diddy for her age but always has been but is ...

Baby doesn’t want to co-sleep 🤣

I am an EBF mum who sees so much positive stuff about Co sleeping, but I’ve tried to sleep with my little one and she hates it! 🤣 she’s always loved having her own space - she now sleeps in her cot in her own room at 5 months and doesn’t seem to have any problems, is there something wrong with my baby? 😂

So my daughter usually sleeps quite well throughout the night. However there some nights where we struggle because she makes weird moaning and groaning sounds, sometimes it sounds like she’s wailing and crying and whining in her sleep. It’s quite different to if she was having a nightmare. She is fed before bed and ...

Sleep training

Has anyone sleep trained their Sept baby yet. If so, what method did you use and how long did it take? Also are your LO’s napping at regular times? My girls naps are all over the place so it’s hard to know when she needs a nap until she is rather tired or have you just started putting them down at set times?

Is there a sleep regression at 2yrs?

My girl used to sleep through without a peep until 6/6:30am but now she is crying out 3-4 times in the night and waking up between 4/4:30am and with a 4 month old waking every few hours these early mornings are exhausting.
