Gentle Sleep Solutions

Please, could you share the wake windows you are having with your 6.5 /7 months old baby? And what time they go to bed and wake up. I'm out of ideas or solutions and I need to sleep

My LO is just shy of 4 months (in a few days) and has started rolling back to tummy, and doing so in her bassinet at night too - although waking upset about it/ a bit stuck on arm being new to the skill. I am now reading up on sleep safety, and saw some recommendations of moving to a crib if this is happening. I’m torn though, as I intended to room share until 6 months. Any recommendations on what is best in this case? *This is my second child and we never faced this issue with my first.

Also, LO has not slept well for the last 1.5mths. Went from 6hr stretches /1-2 wakes to waking 5+ times a night - some nights every hour or less the whole night. As a result, we’ve coslept a portion against my ideal but to just survive. We are therefore planning to responsively sleep train soon, and if I am going to transition the sleep space I think we would do both simultaneously maybe?

Appreciate any advice!

Hi All, my 7 month, exclusively breastfed baby has been co-sleeping with us.

She currently has 4 naps a day (30 mins each) and is rocked to sleep for them, in her own room and in her own cot.

She doesn't sleep well in bed with me and can wake on average 10 times a night and feeds herself back to sleep each time.

We have made the decision to move her into her own room and cot. We bought a gentle sleep course but she hasn't responded well to it in the sense that once she's finally asleep, she will last for 10-30 minutes before we have to start the whole process again.

I feel I may have missed a step 😅 having gone from sleeping with me to being in her own cot alone and using gentle sleep training to try and help her.

Any advice/ support/ or shared struggles out there?

I have been struggling with my 1 year old.

She fights bed time. Like hard. So with the suggestion of CHAT GPT ( don’t judge me lol) it suggested bedtime ALOT earlier than we eve have put her down. 730-745. The past two nights she’s been doing great. Still wakes up throughout the night to nurse. And is awake between 6-7am. Now here chat us fighting me. Telling me to push her nap to 12. Baby girl is ready for a nap around 10-1030. It suggested a “bridge nap”. Problem is. She won’t wake up from that nap. She wants to sleep. Chat is telling me I’m doomed and her night will be long and tough getting her to sleep.

Do I just let her early nap be her main one ? She can sleep 2 hours or more.

My baby is 11m, I really feel like she might need to drop to 1 nap but everything online says you shouldn’t drop before 1 year -

Current routine Wake up - 6:30am (I wake her) Nap 1 - 10am-11am (capped) Nap 2- 3pm-4pm (capped) Bedtime 8pm

Falling asleep indepently in cot most of the time, sometimes needing rocked to sleep

This had been working okay - still waking up at night 1-2 times for a breast but going straight back to sleep in her cot after,

however the last few weeks she won’t go down at bedtime and it’s taking 1+ hours to put her to sleep. Meaning her wake windows have been 3.5/4/5+ and bedtime is around 9pm, she also has been waking up slightly before 6:30am crying and doesn’t seem well rested - she’s only getting around 9.5hours sleep overnight

She can sleep for 2.5hours easy for naps if I let her so do I just drop to 1 nap and let her sleep?

Only problem is she really can’t manage much more than 4hours awake in the morning. But seems to be able to cope better in afternoon
