Anyone else?

LO is 11 weeks. She sleeps well in her next to me crib for the first part of the night eg 8:30pm-1am but 1am onwards she feeds frequently (or just uses me as a human dummy), and hates being put down in her next to me crib. So I find myself having to nurse her pretty much all the time to soothe her. She won’t take a ...

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…

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.

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 ...
