Toddlers sleeping independently?
Is anyone’s toddler actually sleeping independently in their own room? My daughter is 2.5, was sleeping perfectly through the night since 1 year old in her own room and is not waking up multiple times a night crying for mama and it’s been brutal! Any tips or validation is much appreciated

Its normal at this age for kids to start becoming afraid of the dark, of ghosts and monsters etc. Im not sure how strict your household is of following independent sleep..but if it allows, id just let her sleep with me. And no, it doesnt mean she will sleep in your bed until her teens. She WILL sleep eventually...she just needs her mommy's comfort. At 2.5 I think we forget that although they feel grown up, they are still so small. If she's waking in the middle of the night for you, id go in and just pat her back to sleep or just allow her to come into bed with you...
We haven't had independent sleep since he was 3 months old. He has always had way too many night wakings, if he was in another room I wouldn't get any sleep.

Leaking overnight
Any nappy recs advice for nappy leaks at night? My 7 month old has just started consistently leaking, I’ve sized up in nappies and tried Aldi and rascals but no luck.
Has anyone had better results with pull ups? He’s just big enough now I think but I wasn’t sure if Aldi pull ups are any good?

Don’t know what to do
My 8 week old is still waking every 3 hours for milk. She strains, grunts and wriggles all night long. Its so loud that I am awake all night. I’ve tried infacol, dentinox, colief. We have changed her formula a week ago. She’s been to an osteopath (who said she was the calmest baby she’d ever seen 🙄) i’m at my wits end. I’m exhausted.

Baby slept through…
So it’s 6.35am and baby has slept through the night so obviously I have been waking every 30 mins panicking that somethings wrong and now wondering if I should wake him up. 🤣
He is EBF so my boobs are massive and leaking everywhere but yet the little prince keeps on sleeping. 😴
I really want to go back to sleep but I just know he will wake up the second I get comfy and start to drift off. 😩
Bloody kids!! 🤷🏼♀️🙈

Is it ok to let a newborn (2weeks) sleep if already past birth weight or wake to feed ?
No hate for having a sleepy baby please my first was an awful sleeper so I know how triggering these posts can be 😂… but
My 2 week old slept for almost 6hours last night and we woke him even though he seemed pretty tired and would have slept longer. He’s been a sleepy baby since birth but feeds a lot throughout the day and has surpassed his birth weight but my husband woke me last night to say we need to wake the baby to feed. I said I’d get up and pump and let the baby sleep but he said we shouldn’t let him go over 6 hours without a feed….
Should we wake him? Thoughts below please :)
