5am wake up

When your little one wakes this early, do you go back to 2 naps or stick to one nap but do it at like 10am?

earlier wake up😖

my baby has started to wake up at 5:30! she would normally wake between 6:30/7, i thought it was because her room was lighter but i changed that with some blackout blinds and it’s still the same🥲 she has her last bottle at 7pm and can go until 7am without another she’s not hungry. She still has 3 naps: 8:30am, 12pm…

Waking up before 6am

My son for the past three days has been waking up before 6am. Is this happening to anyone else? His naps during the day are less than 3 hours total and he goes to sleep around 7:30/8 so not sure what’s happening

Areolas have bumps on them that aren’t red/white headed but if I pop them this white waxy ball stuff comes out. They never go away and just fill up with white again. They don’t hurt. I never breastfed but they’ve been there since birth.

It’s been many years now.

My 5 month old sleep tummy sleeping

Literally like 5 days ago my son started rolling... from back to tummy. Noticed the first time he did it was at 11pm. In his sleep. It startled him and he woke up. Now he's doing it awake, and clearly having a lot of fun 😊. But at night time he only wants to sleep on his tummy. I'll put him on his back and before…

Putting to bed

My little boy is 1 now and we are still giving him a bottle in our arms and rocking him to sleep at night. It's just a really bad habit now but we're not sure how to change putting him to bed. I feel he's a bit old now to be getting rocked still and I want to make some changes but don't know how. How are you all put...

Bedtime bottle

My daughter will be 15 months tomorrow .. she is still taking a bottle before bed. Is anyone else in the same boat? For anyone who has weaned off, can you give me any recommendations? I've tried just rocking her but she pushes me away and cries. I tried a sippy cup and she wasn't having it.

Owlet dream sock

I purchased one secondhand before I had my baby and expected to use it all the time in the newborn phase & never did because it was the older version that is no longer in the App Store 🥲 that being said, I’ve made it this far without one! But I’m wondering if it’s worth it to buy a new one for when she’s sleeping…

Tips to get the baby sleeping without carrying him

My baby will only sleep while I carry him and as soon as we put him down during the day he tends to wake up within 10 minutes. We’ve been doing lots of contact naps lately as a result. Our doula has said to stop doing this asap or it will be a hard habit to break down the line. How does everyone get their babies to ...
