20 month old waking in night

Hi everyone.

My little boy has always been a great sleeper but this last few weeks, he is waking up for an hour or two through the night. He wakes up and starts crying but easily settles - sometimes I put him back in his cot and he just happily plays in there for a good hour.

Checking nappies, temps, giving teething liquid, offering a snack and water… but nothing really seems to have been the issue to cause him to wake.
Why would he keep waking? Or is it completely random. Want to know if I’m missing something obvious..

Thanks

Bassinet to Crib

My LO is 10 weeks and growing fast! She has already doubled her birth weight and is “tall” I know I’ll have to transition her to a crib. She currently sleep beside our bed in her bassinet. Curious - when and how did that happen for your LO? Did you move crib into your room? Sleep in their room to ease with the change?

Bed sharing mamas - set up??

So I am bed sharing with my baby. It’s the only way we get sleep. She is now practicing standing and is super mobile. I feel on edge that she will fell of the bed.

How do you guys do it? Push the bed against a wall? Have you got some covers on the side . Share all your tips x

Don't understand the white soft play trend

Is anyone else confused why there are so many white/cream soft plays popping up everywhere. Visually they are so dull and not stimulating for a child. I would never pay the ridiculous prices they ask (more than normal soft play)

How can I get enough sleep 😴

My 11 month old has never been a great sleeper. He went to bed at 8:00pm last night. Me and my partner tidied up and went to sleep at 9ish. Baby still wakes 3 times a night and can take a while to resettle. My partner wakes up at 5 for work and he is also very tired.

He often wakes up close to my alarm too (when working). My alarm was set for 6 and baby woke up at 4:30. He only went back to sleep in his cot at 5:30. Meaning there is no time for me to go back to sleep and my day has started at 4:30.

Even when going to bed at 9, I still cannot catch enough sleep to get me through the day. I am 14 weeks pregnant and the tiredness is hitting me hard.

Do you make your bed ?

I don’t mean first thing in the morning, but after you’ve aired it out, do you take a moment to make it properly? Even just folding the duvet back neatly and straightening the sheets?

I can’t stand leaving a bed unmade. I genuinely don’t understand how people go about their day without sorting it out first.

Are nursing bras worth it?

Pregnant with my first I do plan to exclusively breast feed. I definitely don’t want pads or underwire. Are nursing bras with the front hooks worth it or do yall just pop a boob our the bottom of a bralette?
