toddler problems

Hi this mama needs sleep 😭
We are co-sleeping, and my 2.5 yr old son constantly touches my face and lips throughout the night that it disrupts my sleep. Is this a sensory thing or something else? Please help any mama’s been in similar situation? How did you deal with it? 😭😭😭

Mine does it before he falls asleep idk he just cant help it & it take it in as cuddles , but maybe you can try to turn the other way after you know hes sleep or something! Wish i can offer better advice lol ❤️

We were having this issue. It is what made us transition him into his own bed. He sleeps better now, and so do I.

how did you make him sleep in his own room? I’ve been having a hard time he just doesn’t want to sleep alone in his room 😭

everytime I turn my back on him he would wake up and make me face and cuddle him 😭

It is old school but my son needed it. We put him in his crib so he was safe. When he cried, we gave it 10 minutes to soothe, and if not, we would go in cuddle to calm him down and put him down and start again. If he really wouldn't after an hour, we would lay on a mattress in front of his crib and put a hand/arm in, and let him touch our hand. Eventually, he learned he was safe in his room, and we would be there when he truly needed us. It was torcher to hear him cry, but it also isn't bad for him. If we were hyperventilating before 10 minutes was up, we went in and calmed him down.

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 🤣
