We're still transitioning from 3 to 2 naps, but the days she has 2 naps, she's usually going to bed at around 6pm.

He goes to bed anytime from 7:30 to 8:30, wakes 7:30/8:30am, nap after 2.5 hours for 1-1.5 hours, awake for 3-4 hours, another nap of 40 minutes (this is usually around 3pm). Ours is pretty variable as we just do what suits him on that day, he's so much happier when we're flexible about it

3 naps although she was on 2 naps before. Either way bedtime is 8.30pm

Wakes anywhere from 6:30-7:30.
Nap 1 2-2.5 hours later.
Nap 2 3-4hrs later.
Bed for 7.
I can’t have nap 2 too early or it’ll be +++++ before bed.
Mines ok with long wake windows.

Bedtime is 7:30pm and wakes anywhere from 6:30am -7am.
Nap 1 is for 1hour 15 starting between 9:30 and 10am. Nap 2 is 1hour 15 and starts anywhere between 2-3pm. Don't let her nap any later than 4pm.

7 - wake up & milk
8:30 - solids
9:45-10:45 nap
10:50 - milk
12:50 - solids
2:00 - 4:00 nap
4:05 - milk
6:00 - solids
7:00 - get ready & milk
7:40 - asleep

half 7 to 8 wakes up around ariund 6 then goes back to sleep to around 7 to 9 am
then nap around 10 30 to 12
then 3pm to 5
he might even have another 2 naps depends on what day he's having

7:30am-wake up
10:30 -first nap anywhere between 30 and 60 mins asleep
3:30- second nap same as above
7:30pm-bedtime

wakes up between 7-8, nap around 3 hours later which is about 1.5/2 hours, then has another nap around 3 hours later which is about 1.5 hours and then goes to bed 7-7:30 depending on when last nap was x

Wake up between am 6am-7am
Nap at 10am-11am
Nap at 3pm-4pm
Bedtime 9pm

Roughly, of course

Up at 7.15/7.30, bottle at 8, breakfast at 10, nap 11.15-12.30, bottle at 12.30, nap 3.45-4.15, bottle at 4.15, dinner 6.15, bottle at 8, asleep 8.15/8.30. No wakes for the last 5 nights!

Wake up 6:30/7
1st nap 9:30/10 for 25 mins 😭
2nd nap 2/2:30 1-1.5 hours (best if contact nap)
Bed time 7/7:30

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?

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

Over supply of milk

I am nearly 5weeks postpartum and I have such a big over supply of BM.
Has anyone donated / sold their supply, if so where do you recommend for this?

I think its fair

Me and my partner agreed to sleep in 1 day of the weekend.
He doesn't find it fair to look after both kids (my 4 year old isnt his) while i sleep so he looks after the baby while i sleep and my toddlers at his dads and ill look after both the next day.
Straightaway it was pretty unfair as i let him sleep in until he wakes up 10-12
He wakes me up when baby starts fussing because he wants milk (doesnt need it)
I cant pump as i dont supply enough.
So i get woken at 9/9:30 to feed baby then i get him sleep then theres no point sleeping in as my toddlers being dropped off.
I also find it unfair that i get both kids to sleep most night, i get my toddler to sleep everyday hes home (4/5days) and i get my baby to sleep most nights with the exception of maybe twice a month as his dad struggless then about 95% of his thru the day naps.
I have also been unwell for a few months (tumor scare) and am waiting 18 weeks to see a specialist so im obviously petrified for that, so unbelievably tired and alot of aches and pains, specifically these pounding headaches ive been having.
After i had been up til 11:30 getting both kids to sleep lastnight and my partner falling asleep at 10 then him ignoring the baby cries all morning until my toddler woke up im fed up slammed to door and rold him not to expect to sleep in unless he gets the baby to sleep the night b4.
I keep having issues with him not feeling the wet from baby being sick or weeing himself or being able to smell it do about 98% of the time hes given to me i have to clean him up n change him.
Including at night, we agreed my partner would change nappies (1 a night at 5am) while i feed (2,4,5,6:30) but every night when i get him hes pissed through and my partner gets annoyed when i wake him up n moan about it.
Then the morning after hes annoyed at how much washing there is (thats his job) and moans about how often i change myself (baby constantly shits thru and sicks on me) and baby
Honestly im just so tired all the time
