Has he just started nursery ? Has something changed his day time routine perhaps? Xxx

@Emma you didn't read it properly. She said he is waking up at 11pm, not 11am.

Hiya, I honestly don’t have an answer for you but I wanted to give my experience.
My boy will be two next month and for the first 16 months I’m telling, he woke up in the night every 10-15 minutes. His morning time would be 4-5 am.

I spoke to every doctor, paediatrician, health visitor absolutely no one could provide a solution.

It made me quiet unwell, mentally. It was hell and I felt so very alone.

He got a lot better once he turned one, I also moved him into his own toddler bed around 15 months too.

Unfortunately, nothing I did helped or even made the slightest difference.
It affected me and my journey of mother hood but it does improve.
I know it’s not what you want to hear because when I was in that position and everyone told me it gets better. That means absolutely nothing and feels a bit back handed, but from one mum that really struggled to another you’re doing a good job, it’s not you, sometimes little boys just don’t sleep :))

My inbox is always open!

rn he still sleeps in his own bed in our room because we’re trying to figure out why his room gets so cold at night, it’s the only room that does

@Emma nowhere in the post does she say they are waking up for the day at 11 am. She said she is putting him to sleep between 8-9pm and then he is waking up between 10:45-11:20PM & not going back to sleep until his nap at 1 pm the next day! So he is having 2-3 hours of sleep at night & that is it.

Oof this sounds super tough 😫 has his sleep always been like this or is it a recent thing? X

Peace of mind please

I shot up at 4am last night and had the urge to check my little boy who sleeps in a cot next to our bed.
For the first time he has rolled over and was sleeping on his stomach, my heart dropped.
I was so scared that I picked him up to make sure he was okay and he was just sound asleep…

What are we supposed to do if they roll over in their sleep?! He’s almost 6 months old and I’m prettified of him rolling and it being a different outcome if I don’t wake up..

Just need some peace of mind that this is
okay?

6m old not sleeping

My 6m old won’t sleep. He goes bed at 8/8.30. He’ll sleep until 3am and then he just wakes up like he’s ready for the day.
He’s not hungry, cold, too hot, not teething ect but it’s been going on for about a week. He then won’t go back to sleep until 5ish then he wakes every single morning at 7 on the dot. I’m exhausted. Anyone got any tips on helping this because he’s then so mardy throughout the day due to lack of sleep.

Moving 18 week old to her own room

Just looking for some advice really. I know at this age (18 weeks) she will most likely be going through sleep regression BUT I have been thinking for a while now about the time to put her in her own cot.. she’s in a next to me one at the moment and is constantly hitting the sides with her feet and she’s waking up so so much! Has any other mums moved their babies to their own room?

We have the owlet sock and camera so of course would keep an eye on her and I’m planning on sleeping in the room with her to begin with just to see if she sleeps any better. I know it’s advised 6 months due to SIDS but feel as though we would all get better sleep

I don’t really know what to do as me and my partner are EXHAUSTED

P.s she does nap through the day really well in her own bed so she is used to it

Do you prefer to wear a bra or go braless?

Solely based on comfort.

I see so many comments of people saying bras are uncomfortable and I can’t be the only one who finds wearing a bra MORE comfortable than not?

How are you BOTH getting sleep with a newborn?! 😴

Hey mamas 🤍

Looking for any advice or tips on how to protect a few hours of sleep for both me and my partner 🙏

We have a 5-week-old who usually wakes around 12/1/2am (depending on bedtime), and then again around 3/4/5am. My partner works from 7am to 5pm usually, so evenings can feel a bit full-on, and nights are quite broken at the moment (which I understand is quite normal!).

We’re combi feeding, as in the baby has expressed breast milk during the day, and we switch to formula overnight.

Would love to hear what’s worked for you from shifts, routines, anything that helped you both get a bit more rest 💭✨
