Had this yesterday and she was in a great mood up until about 20/30 mins before her normal bedtime so just put her down slightly earlier and she slept like a log🤣 fingers crossed goes ok for you too. X

@Emma thank you. What a nightmare, we only said yesterday I think she's in a sleep regression as her night sleep has been a bit poor this past week then she slept through again last night, then the no napping today which she's never done she's always loved a nap 🙈. We will see how she goes

My little girl often skips naps at nursery - definite fomo baby! We just ride with it now and follow her lead when we get her home, sometimes she still goes down at her normal 7 bedtime and other times she goes down about 6 😂

My LB does this sometimes and I usually end up putting him to bed 15/20mins early when he shows signs of being tired x

I was at work for bedtime tonight so my partner bless him had to do do it but he said she was fine, no signs of tiredness at all and was in bed asleep by 630.

Glad to hear that maybe this can be normal at least :)

Our baby is refusing naps at the moment. She will have maybe 20 mins if we are lucky! She gets so grouchy though and we struggle to keep her awake until bed time. She wants to drop off about 2 hours before, been a nightmare!

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?

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 😩😩

Crying during feeding

Hey mams! My girl is 6 weeks on Monday and is having so much trouble with feeding. It doesn’t happen every feed but more often than not she will start a bottle and just start crying as if she’s in pain and she can’t take the milk. I think it’s trapped wind but I genuinely don’t know what to do it’s so pitiful to see her not be able to feed! She’s formula fed and on HiPP Organic.
Anyone else been in this position? I’m pretty sure it’s just a bit of trapped wind that she needs to fart out but can’t! If anyone has any advice I’d be very grateful as I think I may need to tape my eyelids open soon 😂

No more naps! 10 month old

For a few days now my 10m old has fought her 2 daily naps. Normally her wake windows were 3-4 hours and she is now eventually napping after a 6 hour wake window. Today was only one nap, she skipped the second one. Used to nap like clockwork so I’m wondering if anyone else is experiencing this? Also very unsettled most nights and doesn’t sleep well at all
