Right mamas I want honesty

I want you to be completely honest with me. This is a safe space.
Awake but drowsy.
Does this work for you?
Because my LO might as well call me a silly bitch and slap me round the face 😂😂😂.
I am CONVINCED it isn’t real and it’s an undercover pyramid scheme so we’ll pay for sleep coaches 😂🤣.
She’s 5 months, and the ONLY way she will go to bed is putting her down knackered, even then we have a false start which TO BE FAIR TO HER she does go back to sleep with her paci and some tummy pats.
Don’t even ask me about naps, I’ve had a baby attached to me for 5 months for every nap she’s had 😂, don’t even want to talk about it

I dunno you know, sometimes it works but sometimes it doesn’t 👀 if I’m doing drowsy then I have to be in eye sight so he thinks he’s on me, but only for like 3 mins tops and then he’s snorin’ 😂
I think they’re just like us, sometimes we just aren’t ready. He was knackered the other night, falling asleep in my arms and then BOOM EYES WIDE SMILING N LAUGHING, it was cute the first 10 times then I had to act asleep in order for him to fall asleep and stop falling in love with me 😂

Awake but drowsy - codswallop!! For me at least 😂

My girl will go down when she’s in a deep deep sleep only and only at night and currently only for 30 mins max until around 3am when I cave and she’s with me x

Worked once for me and she never did it again 🤣

Has anyone bought this bundle? Was any good and was it worth money?

Sleep during the day.

My nearly 4 week baby girl loves her sleep at night and will easily settle back down after her feeds however, during the day I struggle to get her to sleep or when she does she will sleep in my arms, if I try to transfer her to her cot she wakes straight away. Any suggestions on how I can help her or what I’m doing wrong?

18 months

How many words is good for 18 months? My child says 22 words that I’ve counted and I feel proud but is this just average lol

Wake windows a myth for some?

My baby seems to laugh in the face of wake windows. We wake around 6-7am, he might fall asleep after his breakfast feed for a little bit but his only other long nap is our lunchtime walk in the carrier. Otherwise he is awake for hours on end but seemingly quite happy.

If anyone has a newborn who also doesn’t conform to the whole 60m rule, don’t worry, your baby isn’t broken and you’re not doing anything wrong, just go with their flow!

Bed Time - 4 months old

Hey mamas! How is everyone coping with an early bed time routine at 4 months old? My old friend chat gpt reckons that an early bed time of 7pm-9pm should be the norm but my girl will not go to bed until after 10pm 😭. Is it too early for sleep training or do most just follow their baby’s tired cues? X

Did anyone else’s epidural not work?

Writing retrospectively here. I had a epidural with my 1st baby in 2025 and it pretty much had no effect, I was in absolute agony the whole time (hours). Anyone else experience this?

Midwife now says this isn’t normal and I shouldn’t have been in pain.
Due my 2nd in 6 weeks and debating weather I should go for one again. 😣
