Sleeping aids

We got given one of these ages ago and haven't used it yet. Our little girl struggles to sleep without being held or being in contact with one of us. This had a heartbeat, and its belly moved up and down. Stupid question, but where do you put it? I've placed it here (see comments). Is this right? I'm totally clueless and hoping it'll help! She's nearly 1!

@Fay yes it's her favourite game atm🤣 thank you! Think she has separation issues plus she's teething to, it's been hell for 3 months x

Could you report back and let us know if it helps? I'd been considering buying this but I've wasted so much money on stuff that hasn't worked I'm reluctant to!

@Fay See I think thats super cute! We were so against co sleeping but we have ended up doing it with in reason 🤣x

@Rebecca Yes of course! Oh same here 🤣, she's been down a hour which is a improvement already as she's usually up every 10/15 minutes but I've probably jinxed it now 🙄

ah that's good! Hoping you haven't jinxed it though and have a better night! We're currently trialilng a new white noise machine tonight 😅

@Rebecca I 100% did and she woke up crying 🙄🤣 Oh really? We have one but I'm not actually sure if it helps or not 🤣

We've got one but found it more of a distraction, bubby would wake up & look for where the noise was coming from 🫠

oh no! Yeah me neither 😅

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. 🥺

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?

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

Colostrum storing?

Has anyone successfully extracted colostrum before the baby’s born? Apparently it gets produced from 16w pregnant and you can start storing it in the freezer but I’m 34w looking at my nipples and the syringes on amazon wondering how it works?? Like what did you use and did it hurt? 🥲

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 🤣
