SLEEPING BABY

Making sure your child gets enough sleep is typically a high priority for new parents. Here are general guidelines on how many hours of sleep the average baby and toddler require at various ages, but keep in mind that every child is different – some need more sleep than others. Also, be prepared for your little one's sleep patterns to fluctuate quite a bit as she develops and reaches new milestones.

Baby sleep

Swaddle velcro - does it wake your baby?

First time mom due in September. A lot of the swaddles I’ve been given have huge Velcro patches. They’re pretty loud when I tear them apart.

Does this not wake baby during a late night diaper change???

At what age do you put a child to bed and observe from a camera?

Hi I have a 8 week old girl and was wondering at what age you put them to bed and come back downstairs and observe on camera?

At present she goes upstairs to bed when we do.

What age should I start this? What worked for you?

Help

So my 2.5 year old son has had some major issues with sleeping lately. He was doing fine then all of a sudden, he won't go to sleep unless me or my husband are laying next to him. He will fall asleep while cuddling and the minute he's put in his crib, he starts screaming. Again, this is new for him and this behavior juat started about 2 weeks or so ago. It's exhausting. Any advice or tips would be greatly appreciated

Baby sleep

longer naps?!!

Please help this mama out! My baby is 10 months old and for the last 2 months or so he will only nap 35-50 minutes at a time 😫😫 what do i do?! I’ve tried giving extra milk, extra food, waiting longer between naps waiting shorter NOTHING is working and I’m damn near losing my mind bc our schedules are all so crazy and i need for him to nap longer! He used to sleep 1-2 hours at a time and around 3-4 months was taking a 3 hour afternoon nap. What did i do wrong?! What am I doing wrong?! How can i get him to nap longer? We’ve tried leaving him but he will just scream and scream with no end! I’m desperate, any tips appreciated please!

Baby sleep

8 month old regression.

Hello, my baby I believe is going through his 8 month old sleep regression! He won’t have a nap in the afternoon it’s literally a battle and he will constantly cry and cry because he’s so tired. He normally wakes up at 1:30-2pm and will fight his sleep for hours on end. The last few days he’s been fighting his sleep for 5-6 hours will literally stay awake from his last nap untill 8pm. I try everything at some points he’s quiet and relaxed while we watch loo loo kids or coco melon on tv but I have to be constantly holding him which is difficult considering I’m 5 months pregnant. Anyone have any advice or little tips I can do?

I do take into account all other aspects like teething and mental development but surely there’s little tips to even get him to sleep for atleast 30 mins or so.

Thanks ladies!!
