Naps are becoming a little trickier too, but bed time used to be a doddle - nappy change, pj’s, bottle and asleep all within about 20 minutes. Now it’s honestly taking upwards of an hour of rocking after his bottle and I just don’t understand 😭 he’s rubbing his eyes and is definitely tired when we come up to bed, but then it’s just fight fight fight for an hour. I’m wondering is it a sleep regression? It’s nothing like the others we’ve had though… he’s pretty much sleeping through. I’ve tried pushing bed time back by 15/30 minutes but it doesn’t seem to make a difference. Any tips/insight would be helpful! Or just some solidarity maybe 🤣

we have been having the exact same i feeel your pain,she used to go down pretty easily after about 25mins now it can take up two 2 hours😂thankfully she sleeps through so once she’s down it’s fine, nice to know it’s not just us dealing with it😂xx

Are they by any chance transitioning from 2 naps to 1? This has sent our bedtimes haywire!

My little girl is the exact same! Used to pretty much fall asleep with her bottle but now taking near to 2 hours after her bottle to go sleep in her cot and I’m having to sit and pat her bum😩 once she’s asleep she’s down for the night luckily! I’ve tried pushing bedtime back but doesn’t make a difference. I’m starting to think it could be some kind of sleep regression but hoping she goes back to self settling very soon haha X

My little girl is the same, it’s taking about 2 hours just to get her down for the night but she doesn’t even sleep the whole way through, she’s waking up literally every 2 hours 😩😩😩😴😴😴

I have been wondering this, but I’m just not sure he’s ready 😫 I know every baby is different, but everything I google says it’s too early at this age… have you successfully transitioned? X

oh god you poor thing 😭 hopefully it doesn’t last too long for you!

I didn't think ours was ready but he's decided he's doing it anyway! I also thought it was too early but he was showing the signs of being ready so I'm following his lead. We're not there yet, some days he's on 1, others 2, but the days he has 1 tends to result in better night sleep! I'll share a post I found useful about whether they're ready or not x

I found this helpful. As you say all babies are different! I was panicking thinking ours was too young but he's showing all the signs and then I remembered he's never followed the rule book with sleep or done things at the "correct" age x
