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

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?

Night feeding in sleeping bag

Do you guys keep your baby in their sleeping bag when you feed them in the night, or do you take it off? I take it off as don’t want him to be too hot but then sometimes when he’s sleepy after his feed and I go to put it back on him he wakes up and is fussy. Not sure if I should just keep him in it?
