How often does your little one go for sleepovers?

Our son has only had a sleepover at his nan and grandads once, but his nans pushing to make it more of a regular thing like every other weekend/once a month. I just get really bad mum guilt that I’m fobbing him off on her 😂 even though I know she loves having him and I know he enjoys being there

Just wondering do your little ones have sleepovers? If so how often and do you feel like it helps your relationship at home with husband to have that time together?

I’d take the offer of once a month! If your son is happy to go, make the most of the free time. We unfortunately will never have that luxury, enjoy ☺️

I would love if someone would.offer to have our little man so we could.have a date night, our son has never had a sleep over but not for lack.of trying

My parents have had my daughter overnight when we have a date night and she loves it they also help having her during the day cus I work 4 days a week so she is around them a lot I was unsure how she would sleep while she was at my parents but she she sleeps well if anything maybe just make sure that your son doesn’t have a daytime nap that day and he should sleep more and I’m sure you will enjoy having sometime with your husband maybe do it every 2 months if your not sure and see how he goes

My little man is 3 in April and he sleeps over at my parents house once a week so I'm able to work, we live an hour away so it makes sense to have a sleep over for us. I get major mum guilt, too, but Noah absolutely loves sleeping over, and it's really precious time my parents get with him. I would encourage trying and seeing how it goes. :)

My little one stays over at the her granny’s house once a week. She loves it and gives me and my husband some free time together.

Sleeping bag

8 week old in sleeping bag for first time as big enough! Do you feed your child in the night whilst in the sleeping bag or taken them out, feed then transfer back to sleeping bag before putting down?

Not drinking

I’m going crazy. Baby born at 2.26kg. Slow to put on weight. This last week hasn’t put on any. Been trying to feed him at night and he’s not interested at all. Fast asleep. During day he will have 5 minute gulps and that’s it. He don’t cry for milk. I’ve got to keep offering to him. I try to offer it every hour but I don’t know what I’m doing. HV said nutrition comes after 5 minutes so I should pump first and then give him. I find it so hard. I tried to pump one boob nothing came. The other abit came. Tried giving him express he’s not interested in that too. Sometimes he will go for a longer a feed but not long at all. He’s 4 months and is currently 5.46kg. I have no family or friend support here and wish I had a cook, cleaner and nanny to help with everything so I can concentrate on the little one. I don’t know what’s wrong with him but I’m loosing it. It doesn’t help that my also stressed generally about my relationship and life circumstances. Any advice that will work. Any comfort you can give. I’m fed up. Is this regression - not feeding. He’s fast fast asleep. I’ve been trying to push the nipple in but that mouth is closed shut. I took some clothes off. Changed his nappy but he’s still asleep. Please help

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?

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 🤣

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
