Baby’s overnight nappy is practically dry

Her 10pm nappy was super heavy- a mixture of poo and loads of wee! She had an 18 min breastfeed and then went to sleep after.
Slept for 8 hours 11-7am roughly and changed her nappy this morning and it is so light and practically dry.

Should I be concerned that it was dry? It obviously indicates she didn’t wee much when she slept…

This happens with my baby occasionally when she does a similar stretch. I always change anyway then feed, not long after she will have a really full one xx

That’s reassuring. To add my LO is exclusively breastfed, 10 weeks and 43% xx

What’s your secret to getting her to sleep that long? Asking for a friend 😅

My son sometimes doesn't poo in the night but as I'm breastfeeding he does it almost immediately, its like the suckimg motion encourages it 😂 Perhaps some movement or feeding will help, but no I wouldn't be concerned as long as she wees in the next nappy x

Has just done a big poo and wee so we’ve nappy changed and about to feed again! She’ll sleep for another 90-180 mins.

Honestly we did nothing in particular! Noticed that she started sleeping a longer 5 hour stretch about 14 days ago. Since then I started ‘tracking her wake windows’ for the first time, and used huckleberry’s nap indications. I keep an eye out for sleepy cues and try and ensure she naps. I feed her often throughout the day (every 2 hours) and we noticed she started sleeping longer and longer each day until she hit this pattern!

She’s been sleeping this way now for the last 8 days- long may it continue 🤣👏

That’s brilliant! Well done!

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 😩😩

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?

Don’t want to leave my first born😭😭😭

Anyone else extremely sad and anxious to leave their first born😭

He’s 2 and we have never not put him to bed or be here for when he wakes up😭

I’m so sad and anxious about leaving him

Help meeee

!!All advice welcome!! My 5 month old (nearly 6mo) is just not sleeping . Not for naps and not at night . She can’t connect her cycles . We started sleep regression at 3 months but in like how is this nearly been going on for a further 3 months . Like surely not . She has 10 min naps in crib ( which take so much effort ) and maybe 20/30 min naps in my arms/pushchair . She wakes minimum every hour at night with guaranteed false start 20 mins in . I combo feed. I breastfeed her until almost asleep then place her in the next to me crib give her the pacifier and put my hand on her cheek/face for 20 seconds and she drifts off . It’s not really getting her to sleep that’s the issue it’s she just won’t stay asleep . She doesn’t even need to feed much at night usually 1-2 breastfeeds . The rest is comfort wakes needing her pacifier or my hand on her cheek . I’ve looked into sleep associations and independent sleep and I broke the feed to sleep association and rocking and do bedside comforting instead for most wakes which has now lead to my hand being a sleep association on her face . I’m just so exhausted my husband is working mon-fri 9-9 and it’s just me . I haven’t had more than 4 hours in a row since her birth . I can’t get anything done during the day . She is so clingy and cries if I leave room /put her down etc. I love her so much but we both need rest . If anyone has any tips or a routine that could help PLEASE tell me I’ll try anything 🥲❤️❤️

Feeds

How many times a night are your little ones getting up? My daughter is every 90-110 minutes. I am absolutely exhausted and don’t know how much more I can cope

Sleep

My baby is now 8 months and we have a sleep problem.. he refused to sleep during the day , I need to rock him for about 40min then have break and try again even though he's clearly tired , sometimes he doesn't have the last nap because it is impossible to put him down. For the last few nights he wakes up every hour with cry and most of the day looks tired. I was at the GP and everything seems fine. Don't know what to do anymore. Does anyone have the same issue? How to deal with it?
