Awake 2 hours in the night??

Hey! My little one (4 months old) wakes once in the night for a feed but now and again when she wakes (around 4am) she will feed and then be awake for a full wake window (up to 2 hours). She’s not upset or anything just doesn’t want to sleep. I can’t find a pattern or understand why some nights she does it and on some nights she’ll wake at around 4am, feed and go straight back to sleep. Does anyone have any advice? Thanks in advance 😊

I record her naps and sleep on huckleberry so you can see days where she’s awake for the two hours over the last week.

No advice but literally the same! It seems to be between 1-3 she is wide awake (but mine does cry even after feeds or being cuddled) but it’s like every other night which is so odd!

It’s a developmental leap or sleep regression, they have loads in the first two years x

yeah I’ve got the wonder weeks app which is great! Just confused why some nights are ok 😅 but I guess I just have to ride it out haha x

so this is what my baby is doing? its just leap? she's 4 months next week and will wake up at 6 am and decide and time to be up for the day when normally she doesn't wake up until 7:30 or 8

My 4.5 month old is doing this too! Usually around 4am but last night it was at 3am😅

Leaky nappy help

What nappies are you using to stop leaks?? We use pampers ultra dry size 5, and for the past few nights he has lashed through and we’ve had to completely change him during the night. Last night he leashed through twice!! He sleeps on his front and stays leaks through at the top of his leg where the tabs connect. Didn’t know whether to size up, he has a bit of a belly on him but he’s smack in middle of weight guidance so shouldn’t need too

My little one is struggling with sleep

Hey! I'm in need of some advice please girls! My little boy is 20 months turns 21 months in 2 half weeks. He use to sleep through the night now he is waking up every single night in the early morning, I've had to transition him to a toodler bed as he kept climbing out his cot. Just need some advice on what I can do to help him get back in to a sleep pattern?

6 month old autistism

My 6 month old makes no eye contact with me and doesn’t respond when I call him. Can this just be a phase or personality trait as apposed to autism

4 month bed time

What time do you put your babies to bed?
What time do you start your 'routine?'
My LO currently goes to bed around 10.30pm, and I know i need to start bringing it forward. Everytime ive tried, it takes longer for my LO to settle.
We are exclusively breastfeeding. Any advice Mamas?

New born

Finally had my baby girl via C-section on the 18th, everything has been so far. But I’ve noticed she’s very fussy and cries a lot. I’ve been trying to exclusively breastfeed. The lactation consultant at the hospital said I did look like I’m making enough milk for her. She was latching on good at the hospital and now here at home, she doesn’t seem to want to latch at all. She’s been crying a lot and very fussy. I’m just wondering is she’s colic or like maybe she just doesn’t want the breast anymore?

5.30am wakeups 😫😴

My 15 week old has started waking up about 5.30am and is really hard to settle back down - it’s like he thinks it’s time to wake up for the day. He used to go to bed at 9pm and was up at 8am but now he goes to bed between 7.30-8pm as he’s knackered by then but waking up at 5.30am😴. Any advice to get him to sleep a little longer in the morning?! Even an extra hour would be lovely 🤣
