Independent sleeping and naps

What’s the best age/months to start sleep training your little one? My baby is 3 months old and has always been a bit of a velcro baby. We do contact naps all the time and also co-sleep at night.

When she was a newborn, she could sleep for long stretches in her cot swaddled, but since she hit around 2 months, she’s become very clingy. I know we’re not creating bad habits this early, but any helpful tips on how to gently encourage independent sleep for naps and night-time would be great.

She loves her Love to Dream sleep sack at night and we also use white noise.

When do the neck snuggles go away? 🥹😫

My favorite, favorite thing is when he snuggles his face into my neck while co-napping. I need to know how much longer I have to cherish them!

Front sleeping

Hey all 👋 might be a little bit of a silly question but here goes!
My 7 month old has started sleeping on his front (which is fine, ofc) he actively unrolls and rolls and crawls. My issue is that he is so active in the day that when bedtime comes around he’s comatose, he then slowly rolls onto his front but sometimes he is literally face down. He does move himself in the night and isn’t face down the entire time, I think he just doesn’t move when he’s in a mega deep sleep.
Is anyone else experiencing this? I don’t want him to suffocate 😅

2AM and your baby is crying.

All needs have been met. He’s 2 weeks old.
Do you pick him up and hold him til he sleeps or let him cry as to “regulate himself.” Dad seems to think he has to cry it out at 2AM verses him being picked up.

No sleep

Anyone else’s 9 month old become a twat for sleeping? The past couple of days my little girl has decided she doesn’t want to sleep, we’ve been doing the whole routine during the day with two naps, 3 meals and 3/4 bottles. She went down to sleep at about 6:45 last night, very kindly let me watch the England game and woke up at about 12. She screamed the house down, we gave her an extra bottle, changed her nappy, rocked her, gave her a dummy to see if that helped but nothing she ended up wide awake bouncing away, then eventually went down at 1:30! Which means I’ve had probably 3 hours sleep max, as I don’t sleep well anyway. Her front teeth are coming through so I know that she will be a bit out of sorts because of that but she’s never been this bad with other teeth.
I’m exhausted, and this week it doesnt help I’ve hurt my back so I’m in pain, exhausted and past the point right now. And the exhaustion is effecting my fiancé as well we are both tired so end up snapping at eachother. I just need to know if I’m doing it all wrong or is this normal?

Sincerely a very tired, overstimulated and overwhelmed mam

4 month regression

Its the constant fussiness and crying and the struggles to put them down to sleep.

Struggling to settle at night

My little one will not settle at night. He used to go to sleep at 7-8pm untill he hit 6 months, now he will fight sleep for hours, sometimes even till 12pm! We follow the same bedtime routine. I know he is getting overtired but we cannot manage to get him to settle. The only way we can get him to sleep is by going in the car or pram and sometimes this doesn’t work. Please send advice!!
