Around 1-2 hours. Bedtime around 9 as he's witching until then
Usually averages at 5 hours but can be 4/6 hours for the first stretch and then the second stretch is usually shorter 2-3 hours and can be in our bed for the last stretch sometimes x
My baby sleeps roughly around 3/4 hours at night, some nights even 5 hours. I was worried about her oversleeping but was told if she’s putting weight on, feeding a decent amount regularly and seems well in herself then it’s nothing to worry about.
We don’t really have a specific bed time rn tbh xx
Around 3 hours, and she goes to sleep downstairs from around 8-midnight then comes upstairs xx
We put her down in next to me crib upstairs about midnight and then she gets up between 6.30/7.30 then goes back down for a few hours in the morning. Xx

Baby fell off the bed 😞
So guys the day ive dreaded for a long time happened today. It was exactly the same as every other morning except this one day my little one somehow managed to move across the whole bed and tumbled off it. The standard pillow fort waa there but somehow he missed it. I truly don't have a clue how but now im petrified of closing my eyes in the morning. Please confirm that this happens all of the time and that I'm not a bad mum.

Front Sleeping
Does anyone else put baby on front to sleep? I don’t need comments telling me the guidance, I know it but baby is suffering with reflux, much happier on their front, 4 months old and can roll both ways but doesn’t roll in the night, just wakes up screaming.
Has anyone with a baby who rolls ever put them down on their front or been advised to due to similar issues?

Advice…sorry it’s long
I am looking for some advice or to know I’m not alone with anyone in a similar situation.
My baby is almost 1 and has always been a not so great sleeper, the only time he slept through the night was after his 16 weeks jabs.
We’re at a point now where we co-sleep after his 1st wake up in his cot because if he settles and go back in his cot, he will be up at 5am although we haven’t tried this recently whereas in bed he will stir and wake at that time but he’ll go back to sleep until maybe 7:00-7:45.
He also usually wakes up crying and we have to walk around with him to calm down.
He is waking in the night and can be awake anywhere between 45 mins - 1hr, just laid talking away, grabbing me etc, this happens almost every night.
How can I get him to not wake at the crack of dawn in his cot and move away from co-sleeping and get rid of these split nights?
I’m back at work too so when he’s waking early morning, he can go back to sleep but I’m working long days so I’m just exhausted.

Side / tummy sleeper
Baby loves sleeping on their side / tummy and gets up a lot more when placed on back so I’ve leaned into it and don’t always put them on their back anymore. Just wondering if anyone else does the same

Wake Up Times
Do you all wake yourself and baby up at the same time every day? I get up depending on how the night has been, so if we've had a crap night, we might not get up until 10, but I feel like I should start getting up the same time every day to start some sort of routine and nap schedule as at the minute we just go with the flow.

Major surgery
Does anyone else feel like because you've had a baby people forget you've had major surgery at the same time and you should be over it quickly. I feel like even in the hospital you are just in and out which wouldn't happen with normal surgery. Partner says things like oh I am sure you will be alright! I don't think people really understand.
