10 month old waking in night and won’t sleep in his cot

Anyone else?? He was always a good sleeper but lately he’ll wake up an hour or so after he’s gone to bed, we go settle him then he’ll go back down, then he’ll wake at the early hours of the morning, and he’s so difficult to settle, sometimes we try a bottle and even then he doesn’t always go back in his cot afterwards and just cries when he’s put down. After all this we admittedly cave and put him in our bed where he will sleep but now I’m worried we’ve started a bad habit

Yes!!!! She started this, then she started not settling when waking, now she won’t even settle to go down in the first place so it’s getting worse!
It’s been almost 3 weeks now for us 😩 I also just end up giving up and putting her in our bed lol

I’ve got it starting here too, he will wake up hysterical and be hard to settle until I lay him on me in my bed, he used to be great with his sleeping, I’ve since changed his bed routine and keeping him up later, since I did this he’s been sleeping good again x

Yep! I think every other post on here is about sleep going to sh*t, these 9/10 month olds are giving us all sleep HELL right now!
My LB was up every 90 mins last night, also takes aaaages to resettle and he’s always in our bed by 3am when I can’t be bothered to try anymore. He doesn’t even sleep that well in with us but it saves the leg work going back & forth 😩🫠

I thought the same thing!

I’m thinking the same. But if I’m persistent with her, it doesn’t make a difference and she will just cry for hours and hours

I think if I’m going to bring her up in the end after hours of screaming, I may as well only try for an hour before bringing her up otherwise it’s just more stressful for both of us xx

Help! First time mum -

I have a 4 month old and now all of a sudden when he’s been asleep for 1hr30/2hrs he will wake up screaming (high pitched) I’ve tried winding him sometimes that helps, I’ve tried bicycle legs & bringing his knees up but that doesn’t seem to help but he brings his knees up himself sometimes but nothing happens. I’ve noticed since the 4 month mark he has started to struggle passing wind downwards! Any tips?

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 😩😩

Bath Time

Help! My baby is 3 and a half weeks old. Every bath she goes in quite happy but will only stay like this for a very few mins, if I try to clean her or move her we have tears and after a few mins the same. It's like she is scared. Our current baby bath is quite big should I try a different one? Looking for any suggestions as want her to enjoy bath time not be upset and I'm scared I'm going to make her hate it😢💗

Crying during feeding

Hey mams! My girl is 6 weeks on Monday and is having so much trouble with feeding. It doesn’t happen every feed but more often than not she will start a bottle and just start crying as if she’s in pain and she can’t take the milk. I think it’s trapped wind but I genuinely don’t know what to do it’s so pitiful to see her not be able to feed! She’s formula fed and on HiPP Organic.
Anyone else been in this position? I’m pretty sure it’s just a bit of trapped wind that she needs to fart out but can’t! If anyone has any advice I’d be very grateful as I think I may need to tape my eyelids open soon 😂
