ADHD sleep?

Hello, I have a 6 year old with adhd. It’s pretty bad. I hate the thought of medication but we went ahead and started some because the therapist made a good point. It’s not just hyper. His impulsive control is insane. With the medicine he will have the time to think and process that it’s not safe to chase a ball into the street. Or other dangerous things. Also it can affect his grade and friendships. So we went ahead and stated it. The teachers and principal said he has been SO good. There are two issues though. 1 he isn’t hungry at all. So I have to give him a lot at breakfast and lunch. He barely touches his school lunch. I can’t go with him and force him to eat. So we’re kinda working around that. However, his sleep pattern is so outta wack. I will put him in bed at 8 and for the last week he keeps falling asleep at 11-12. He wakes up at 6:30 for school. He seems to be doing just fine at school, but nothing seems to convince him to go to bed. No threat works, spanking didn’t work as much as I hated trying it. Nothing helps. Just letting him read his books until he is tired is all I can do for the moment. I can’t get so mad that I yell at him. It wouldn’t even work amyways. Taking things away doesn’t work. He just won’t calm down or feel sleepy at bed time.

Moses to cot transition

I fear I may have to transition my baby to his own room soon. He’s 5 months old and according to google he should transition from 4-6 months or when he gains movement skills. He knows how to roll and that is one skill that is mentioned for his safety, as he could accordingly roll out the Moses. I say I “fear” this but it’s more that I don’t want it to end. I’m massively grieving over his growth and milestones, time is flying way too quickly and I fear I’ve missed everyone moment of his newborn stage and now he’s almost crawling. I roll over and immediately see his cute little face. How do I accept this and do I actually need to transition him soon?

He has been going to sleep at 8:30pm and sleeping through until 5:30/6am. Now he has started stirring at around 1:30am-4am. He will groan and grunt and then cry and wake himself up? Anyone gone through something similar and what did you do

Help

I have a two month old little girl and her eyes keep shaking constantly and she’s not acting herself I took her to the paediatrician and they said there’s nothing wrong with her and that I’m just anxious when they never looked at her properly and I’m just worried about what’s causing it

Feeding to sleep

I know a lot of us feed to sleep and that babies are biologically wired to do so. But what are we doing when a nap only lasts 30 mins and the wake window is then over in 1.5 hours… its only been 2 hours since the last feed so are we feeding again for the next nap? This is what I’m struggling the most with right now! My baby has definitely formed a feed to sleep association so it’s a lot harder to get them to nap without a feed.

Urgent sleep help needed!

My little girl is 16 months and had co slept with us until 14 months. She has been in a small cot in our room up until recently. Shes been in her own room a few weeks now but her sleeping is terrible. It’s taking most night 1.5/2 hours to get her to sleep. Then when she is asleep we try to creep out, the second no one is in with her she wakes up and screams. It doesn’t matter if I crawl out, do it gradually or walk out she just knows.

I’m just exhausted. I’m up half the night with her each night now, I have no evenings. She’s tired everyday because she’s not sleeping enough. It’s just exhausting. Any advice?

A big part is definitely separation anxiety, my husband thinks we need to let her cry it out… It’s a big change going in her own room without us, I just don’t know what to do for the best.

Right now everyone’s shattered.

Anyone been in a similar situation and any advice would be much appreciated.

Thanks so much :)

From breast to bottle

Hello, has anyone had issues trying to get their breast fed baby to take a bottle? I went back to work and my 10wk old has been refusing the bottle for my partner. Any suggestions?
