6 month old waking for feed

My son turns 6 months on the 23rd and the last few nights he’s waking up at 4/5am hysterically crying because he’s hungry which he never used to do, is this a growth spurt? Has anyone else experienced this? He’d usually sleep 8:30pm - 7:45am.

My nearly 7 month old is waking around 530 6 which she's not done since 11 weeks she sleeps until 730 normally. But she's not even waking for a feed im clueless x

My little boy is 2 days older than yours & sleeps very similar times. He's also for about a week now been waking up at that time hungry....like ravenous 😂 Can't get the bottle made quick enough lol he straight back to sleep afterwards too. I've no idea why but I also thought maybe a growth spurt about to happen x

Funny you say that! Mine normally wakes once for a feed then up around 7am but was SCREAMING at 5am and took a whole 6oz even though he’d already had his usual 6oz at 1:30am xx

Yeah I was thinking a growth spurt! Xx

Mine wakes for a feed between 04:30-05:30 ever since the regression. Not sure if it’s habit now or not 😅 but he downs the whole 7oz so must want it!

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?

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

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 🤣
