He goes to bed at 6:30pm ish and wakes around 6:30am the next day. We get up at 5:40am on work and nursery days though

7-8pm fall asleep. Wake up around midnight and insist on milk. Wake up around 6am. If I give her milk again, she will sleep until 7.30 if I'm lucky.

See my little one doesn't want milk anymore unless it's a milkshake but he doesn't usually wake in the night to want anything

We put him to bed around 6.30 as that's how it's always been but he just wakes up at 5am if that every day , do they have a sleep regression or anything at 21 months?

8:30 bedtime.

When he was in his cot he would wake between 9:30-10:30am.

He’s been in a toddler bed the past month and if I didn’t go and wake him up, he would sleep until midday (which he has done before, when I didn’t realise the time because I was tidying)

Won’t nap in the day though. No matter how grouchy he is!

I'd love for mine to sleep till then but feel I'm stuck in the sleep pattern that he sleeps at around 6.30 now 🙈 not sure how to get out of it lol

If any of you have any advice then please private message me if you can as I'll lose track on the comments 🙈😅

My little one goes too sleep for 6.30pm and is up between 6.30-7.30.

@Jessicaa just try increase the bedtime by 15 mins at a time until they're in bed for a better time. Mine goes to sleep at 7:30 and wakes up at 7, I feel like 6:30 is far too early so thats probably why

20:30-21:00 bedtime and wake up time 7:00

so glad it’s not just mine waking for milk!! I know it’s just a habit rather than hunger but I can’t seem to find the energy to break the habit!!

Avatar

Honestly mine is very much ok I'm awake at 5 and that's that kinda thing 🙈

8:30/9:30pm sleeps in own bed, wakes around 4/5am for milk and i wake him up 7:30/8:00

Avatar

In her cot. Bed time for 7.30
Takes around less than 15 mins to settle. Not a peep to 7.30 next day x

Avatar

Bath & book between 6-7pm, Bedtime at 7pm, wakes up around 6:30 or 7am (depending if his big brother wakes him before), only 1 nap during the day at 12:30-2:30/3:00. In his own cot, own room x

Avatar

Bedtime between 6-7 depending on what time nap lasted until.
Walks upstairs herself to find her teddies in her cot and usually asleep within 10 mins.
Wakes up between 6/8 depending on the day but will often lie chatting to herself in her cot. Xx

Avatar

Sleeps around 8.30pm and wakes around 7/8am...quite happy with this but ideally i would love for him to be sleeping around 8ish just so he's in a better routine and awake earlier for when he starts preschool/nursery

Avatar

try decreasing the amount of milk she takes each night. Giving water instead of milk worked as well for my little one. Took 2 weeks, but she was completely weaned off night feeds. Hope it helps

Avatar

Sleeps at 7, wakes around 6:30/7ish - cot and sleeping bag. We can usually get another hour or so out of him chilling in his cot listening to storybooks which helps us catch up on sleep during the weekend. Xx

Avatar

Goes down around 7 and some days wakes up at 6, some days 7. His big molars are coming through so we had a few nights where he was waking through the night.
He is now on one nap a day and has an hour and a half nap after around a 4.5hrs wake window in the morning/ early afternoon xx

Avatar

Goes sleep 7 , wakes 6/7am . Has milk still & bedtime routine ( bath etc ) . Has 1hr 30mins / 2 hrs sometimes of nap once a day x

Avatar

In bed by 8, awake usually between 7-8, sometimes he's woke up at half 6 ish - 7 though.

Avatar

She goes be bed at 7/7:30pm and wakes up at 8am sometimes earlier, sometimes later, she rarely wakes up in the night and if she does it’s usually for milk🤷🏼‍♀️

It’s my eldest girl that will go to bed at 7/7:30 and wake up at like 5am🙄 and sometimes wakes everyone else up because she’s soooo loud with everything she does😂😩

Avatar

7:30/7:45 bedtime and wakes up most days at 7:15am. Nap 1-3 every day xx

Avatar

Bedtime between 6.30-8.30pm

Wake up time between 5.00-7.30am

When she wakes up at 5am or before we will try and get her back down, doesn’t always work but we sometimes get an extra hour in bed

Avatar

Just some solidarity Jessica as noticed most here are waking past 7 which would feel like a real treat to us now.
My little one has been waking between 5am and 6am every morning for weeks now! Tried earlier bed times and later bedtimes but still the same wake up time.

We nap still and work to wake windows so 5 in the morning and 6 at night. X

Avatar

Our little boy goes to sleep at 8pm and wakes between 5.45 and 6.30. Can nap between 40 mins to 2 hours during the day and still can wake up sometimes 1-2 times a night or can sleep through. His sleep has always been varied. He doesn’t seem to need more than 12 hours sleep in a 24 hour period.

Maybe try shifting bed time a little later each day and see if it helps. Can take up to 3-4 weeks to see a true change apparently xx

Avatar

@Holly .. literally its very rare he sleeps later than 5 haha anything later than 5 is a lie in for me 🤣

Avatar

@Natasha .. well my partner was off all last week plus we was away on holiday .. his bed time gradually got to around half 6 we've got to at the minute .. so then in the next week I might try push it an extra 10 minutes or so hopefully x

Hour night wakes and 5am get up

Can anyone shed some light as to why on earth my child doesn’t want to sleep??? My eyeballs are bleeding!!

Never been a good sleeper, but the problems always changing. He’s nearly 9 months old.

Beginning of the month he dropped to 2 naps. We could put him to bed at 7pm and he’d get up for the day at 6am, with multiple wake ups every 2/3 hours.

Now we put him down at 7pm, he can do a good 4/5 hour stretch, but come 1/2am he’s up every hour then getting up for the day at 5am. This then completely messes up the day because I can’t keep him awake long enough to even get to 7pm, let alone later.

He has 2 naps, roughly about 1hr10 each but it changed based on when he wakes and trying to get him to a reasonable bed time.

What could be the reason for this? 6am is fine, but 5am is not 😩😩

I think its fair

Me and my partner agreed to sleep in 1 day of the weekend.
He doesn't find it fair to look after both kids (my 4 year old isnt his) while i sleep so he looks after the baby while i sleep and my toddlers at his dads and ill look after both the next day.
Straightaway it was pretty unfair as i let him sleep in until he wakes up 10-12
He wakes me up when baby starts fussing because he wants milk (doesnt need it)
I cant pump as i dont supply enough.
So i get woken at 9/9:30 to feed baby then i get him sleep then theres no point sleeping in as my toddlers being dropped off.
I also find it unfair that i get both kids to sleep most night, i get my toddler to sleep everyday hes home (4/5days) and i get my baby to sleep most nights with the exception of maybe twice a month as his dad struggless then about 95% of his thru the day naps.
I have also been unwell for a few months (tumor scare) and am waiting 18 weeks to see a specialist so im obviously petrified for that, so unbelievably tired and alot of aches and pains, specifically these pounding headaches ive been having.
After i had been up til 11:30 getting both kids to sleep lastnight and my partner falling asleep at 10 then him ignoring the baby cries all morning until my toddler woke up im fed up slammed to door and rold him not to expect to sleep in unless he gets the baby to sleep the night b4.
I keep having issues with him not feeling the wet from baby being sick or weeing himself or being able to smell it do about 98% of the time hes given to me i have to clean him up n change him.
Including at night, we agreed my partner would change nappies (1 a night at 5am) while i feed (2,4,5,6:30) but every night when i get him hes pissed through and my partner gets annoyed when i wake him up n moan about it.
Then the morning after hes annoyed at how much washing there is (thats his job) and moans about how often i change myself (baby constantly shits thru and sicks on me) and baby
Honestly im just so tired all the time

AITA

In the uk there is an outbreak of meningitis, in a specific area mainly. My BD has family from that area and decided to go and meet up with them, I said if he does then he cannot have contact with the kids for 7-10 days after incase he picks anything up. Am I being over dramatic? I reallyyy don’t want my young kids getting anything serious

Over supply of milk

I am nearly 5weeks postpartum and I have such a big over supply of BM.
Has anyone donated / sold their supply, if so where do you recommend for this?

Crawling and walking

So my girl is 9 months now and shes great at sitting up and stays on her tummy for awhile but she seems to have no interest in trying to move or crawl or bum shuffle. Shes a big baby always has been but I'm disabled and I feel like it's my fault she's not hitting milestones I feel like there's something I'm not doing and it's making me a bad mum

Night feeding in sleeping bag

Do you guys keep your baby in their sleeping bag when you feed them in the night, or do you take it off? I take it off as don’t want him to be too hot but then sometimes when he’s sleepy after his feed and I go to put it back on him he wakes up and is fussy. Not sure if I should just keep him in it?
