Laid crying

It’s 03:27 and I’m just laid here crying. My baby has never slept through the night, he is going through a phase of waking up when transferred to his cot, he’s up 3-4x a night, recently 6-7x, and I am just exhausted. I am so sick of doing this 😔

In the same boat. My eldest who is 6 sleeps though and i want to cry at how much sleep i've missed out with her. I had to do controlled crying with her and after a week she was self soothing and everytging. I'm a bit nervous to do it with my 11m old because she'll wake my 6 year old. Sleep is a luxury in this house for me 😭😭

Same! I
Co slept all night last night and she was still up and crying, really hard to settle, every 40-60 minutes. No
Idea how I’m going to make it through work today 😵‍💫

We are the exact same 11 month old and still waking 2 to 3 times a night am exhausted last night was 1.30hr to put back to sleep at 1.30am x

I’ve had a 3 week co-sleeping stint just so we could all sleep she’s now sleeping better but I’ve stopped trying to put her in her own room and back into her travelcot in our room just not worth us all not sleeping

Try a bottle of no sugar custard before bed !

We are having this problem and it’s so difficult because we have a 3 year old who we don’t want to be woken during the night ! I had a cry yesterday because I am about to go back to work and have no idea how I am going to do it when the baby is waking up at least 3 times a night 😭 I keep trying to remind myself that they all work it out in the end 🙏

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?

When do things get easier?

As we entered the 9-12 month stage, my son started crawling and pulling himself up. He also became more clingy and does not play alone, still doesnt sleep through the night, and this week has been sick (so EVERYTHING amplified). I am tired and overwhelmed. Please lie and tell me things get better. 🥺

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?

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

Colostrum storing?

Has anyone successfully extracted colostrum before the baby’s born? Apparently it gets produced from 16w pregnant and you can start storing it in the freezer but I’m 34w looking at my nipples and the syringes on amazon wondering how it works?? Like what did you use and did it hurt? 🥲

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 🤣
