Daytime sleepers

Najell sleep carrier or a snuggle me? I’m conscious of the safe sleep guidelines but the najell looks hard / uncomfortable and hard to see the baby in while you’re around the house. We have mainly hard surfaces and I’m having c section! Our Swedish friends swear by the najell because you can obviously put it in and out of the pram without waking the baby, but all of our UK friends use the snuggle me and just make sure they supervise the baby in it

The purflo is sleep safe and like the snuggle me. Completely breathable xx

Najell is the best baby purchase we made! I’m not sure about the snuggle me but the ends of the najell extend out and open so even though my baby has outgrown it she can still use it if that makes sense

Najell for sure! It’s such a godsend - I’ve just bought the v5 for my 2 week old and it’s so cosy, stylish, handy! The only thing I’d say is to get the waterproof sheet with the carrier, the postage was slow and you cant take the mattress out, so it saves having to wash the full carrier!

I have the sleep carrier and it is genuinely the only thing she will sleep in if it isn’t on me. We travel a lot also, so having the carrier is so useful on long train rides and hotels etc as it opens into a play mat xx

I got a Dockatot on Vinted (they retail for £120, I paid £20) and my baby boy loves it. It’s the only way he’ll have a non-contact nap because it feels like he’s being held. It’s technically not safe sleep approved but I always watch him in it, don’t use it overnight and I actually don’t see how he could hurt himself in it anyways as he can’t roll to smush his face into the sides 🤷🏻‍♀️

6week old pretty much slept through the night?!

6 week old baby slept through her usual night feed. Usually wakes at 3am and 6am. Plenty wet and dirty nappies. Was last weighed a few weeks ago and had gone past her birth weight. Due to be seen and weighed again in 2 days. Is more awake during the days now. Having both breastmilk and formula. Is this OK? She had ger last feed at 10pm Went to bed at 11pm and woke up on her own at 5.20am. The clocks had obviously gone forward and u almost feel refreshed after a longer sleep!!

It is 3am . Your toddler wakes in the night having wet the bed.

You can't find a waterproof sheet but you can find a normal sheet for his bed.

You are pretty sure there is a waterprpof sheet in your 11 month old's room.

But your 11 month old only just got to sleep after a half hour of being awake

Do you...

Clocks changing + late wake up

My LO woke up around 8.30am (would have been 7.30am obv) which feels illegal 😂 although there are definitely worse problems to have and wondering how to work naps now?
He normally naps twice a day and has 1.5 hours for each, although sometimes will have a longer nap in the morning and then a shorter one in the afternoon. His wake windows are around 3/3.25/3.5 so it’s going to be a late bedtime as it stands.
Thoughts? Should I cap his naps so I can put him to bed earlier and get things back on track or just let things take their course? He’s likely to eventually get back to an earlier wake up anyway.

Fussy baby

My 12 day old has been fussing since 3am (4 hours). She had a 50 minute feed at that time and has been on and off the breast since but falls asleep very quickly when on, I have burped her, given a formula top up, walked around tried to soothe but nothing is working. Anyone else had this, is it just normal newborn behaviour or any other ideas of things to try?

Sleep… is this normal?

Is it normal for my 7 week old baby to wake low this during the night…

8pm bedtime - milk and story
8:30/9pm - sleep
12:00am - milk
3am - milk

He goes four hours between feeds for his first milk and then three hours between feeds for his second milk. Why are his sleep stretches different throughout the night? Is this normal?

Clock changes

How is everyone going about the clock changes? I didn’t realise the clocks changed this weekend so haven’t done anything gradually, I’m thinking just go with it and things will sort themselves out?! I have the napper app but it’s just doing its normal thing with nap times etc, doesn’t seem to be adjusted… FTM so never done this😅
