Toddler sleep.

My little boy has been in a toddler bed for about 8 weeks.

He’s recently (3 weeks maybe) started taking everything off his bed to go to sleep.

Now, for about a week had been preferring to sleep on the floor?

Any suggestions as to why?!

Hey I’m Mel a holistic sleep consultant.

To be honest I don’t know why your little boy is doing this but I must admit I don’t know why toddlers do any of the things they do! 😂

What about trying moving the mattress onto the floor for a while? Or make it more enticing such as a little den? Depends on your little one and what they like!

- we did wonder if he was doing it because of the heat, when it cools down if he is still doing it then we are going to move the mattress into the floor and see if it makes any difference!

Thanks for your reply x

Does he go to nursery? Maybe he sleeps on the floor because it’s familiar?

he does go to nursery but I’m sure he’s still in their cots x

it’s worth a try! If he does start sleeping on the mattress leave it for some time then you can always try it back then on the frame. Good luck 🤞

My toddler actually chose to sleep on the floor for the past 2 months.. some nights in his bed, but mainly on the floor. I have no clue why. I read that they will grow out of it.
But I was thinking of buying a floor toddler bed with the rails around.

My LO has been on a floor bed since 11 months, never had any problems. But the last few weeks while it has been hot she has been Purposefully getting off and laying on the wooden floor! Figure it was to cool down

8 week immunisations

My 8 week old has his first set of injections tomorrow and I’m abit nervous. Does anyone have any advice for after the jabs? I know they get a temp after so have got some calpol to give just before hand. Should I put him to bed in less clothing to make sure he doesn’t get too hot? Any tips from your experience with first set of immunisations? Am I worrying more than I need to? 😅

11 month old constantly standing in cot

Please tell me someone has some advice for this cause wow it’s trying. My almost 11 month old is fully on the move now and his new favourite thing is repeatedly pulling to stand in his cot. The problem is that he wears a sleep sack (mainly so his legs don’t get stuck between the bars tbh lol) so he’s not stable enough to lower himself down. So earlier he fell backwards and hit is head and now we feel like we can’t just leave him to it. Typically it’s his first full day at nursery tomorrow and my first day back at work IT’S LIKE HE KNOWS!!
Please tell me someone has some tips. Currently we are quietly placing him back on his back every time but he just keeps doing it! 🤣🤡

Took 9 week old to a family party where there was loud music and she was next to the speaker for most of the time (about 3 hours). She slept through most of it. Do you think she has hearing loss from this?

Freaking out right now :(

Struggling in the 4 month regression

How are people getting out of the 4 month regression? I’ve been looking it up and it says I need to be trying to put him down drowsy but awake but this does not work for my LO. Every time we do this he ends up being wide awake and after almost an hour of trying we have to contact nap/rock to sleep. I want to avoid rocking to sleep because now when he wakes up in the night he needs to be rocked back to sleep which he never used to need.

Nights are constantly broken because we are up 2-3 times to rock him back to sleep. Please give me your tips on how to survive this and how to get out of this!! Constantly feel like I’m failing and doing something wrong
