6-8 weeks old crisis 😭

Help I’m honestly going crazy. Baby boy was getting 3-4 hour stretches at night until a few days ago where he started getting so much fussier, cluster feeding all night and only doing 2 hour stretches WITHOUT nay naps in the evening also. I’m going insane. Please tell me it gets a bit better again

14 month sleep regression?!

My boy has always been a terrible sleeper and ever never really noticed a sleep regression with how bad his sleep is anyway but my lord he’s up every 10-15 mins and by 12-3am he won’t go back Off at all he’s literally getting 1-2 hours a night or constant broken sleep and fighting is this normal? Any tips?

Sleep during day

I use the Huckleberry app, and a lot of the advice for daytime naps seems to be blackout curtains, white noise, etc. But that feels a bit excessive to me when it’s the middle of the day, so I’m looking for more realistic advice.

My baby is 3.5 months old and actually sleeps quite well at night. He usually only wakes 2–3 times to breastfeed. We used to co-sleep, but he has recently moved into a next-to-me cot and is doing well there at night.

Daytime naps are a completely different story! He pretty much refuses to sleep anywhere except his BabyBjörn bouncer. Please don’t come at me about the bouncer, I sit right beside him and watch him closely the entire time.

The problem is that because I have to stay there watching him, I can’t get anything done while he naps.

Has anyone managed to get their baby to nap in a cot during the day without completely blacking out the room? I’d love realistic tips on what actually helped your babies sleep during the day in a normal, light room. Did they eventually just get used to it? Any routines or tricks that worked for you?

New born bath

I know we definitely won’t give a bath right away, what is the recommended time to give baby an actual bath(instead of sponge bath)

Dummy Removal - Help/Guidance please 🙏

Morning! I hoping there’s some other parents like me and in the same situation or out the other side. 🤞🏼

We were advised to remove by a dentist as they were just starting to move, so to avoid further moving to remove before her next appt. UK based.

*Our LO is 2 (end Aug) and only has dummy for naps and bedtime alone for a long time*

We removed our LO dummy Friday AM, ahead of nap and bedtime via the dummy fairy. We have completed night 4.

Day 1 - Went slightly better than we anticipated (a lot of asking for a dummy’s)

Day 2 - Nap refusal but 4+ night wakes (no mention of dummy) awake for the day 05:10am

Day 3 - Nap Refusal, but did end up napping following a car journey. Bedtime then had further 3 night wakes (no mention of dummy’s) awake for day 05:25

Day 4 - THE WORST OF IT ALL. Fought for 40 mins for nap, did nap for 1hr14. Then bedtime, seemed to ‘settle’ better mentioned dummy 6 times. Went to sleep after 45mins but then woke at 23:30 for 1hr15mins distressed, tantrums and not even about dummy. This then happened again at 04:01. (Awake for the day)

Bedtime is in normal window 7pm-8pm but morning wake time is now very pre 6am. (5:00-5:30)

We are struggling, our little one is distressed and struggling with lack of sleep. Is anyone able to provide guidance and assistance on how long their LO’s took.

I’m not looking for judgement or mean comments that I have seen in the past to other parents. I’m just a parent wanting to hear some humanised stories. Thank you in advance. 💓💓

Sleep deprivation is killing me

My baby has never been a ‘good’ sleeper, longest stretch she’s done in 5 months is about 5 hours. But currently she seems to going through the 4 month sleep regression at 5 months? Shes also teething and I think that is making her even more restless, the longest we’re getting is about 2 hours then after midnight she’s up almost every hour. My partner gets up with her half the night but because she’s in the next to me I hear every moment/moan/cry. My brain feels like it’s melting. My patience for everything is wearing thin. Anyone else struggling and or been through this and is out the other side?
