My 6 month old suddenly decided sleeping isn’t her thing anymore 😄

Until this point she was a relatively good sleeper. Honestly I can’t complain.
However, this week she sleeps from 7 pm until 1 am peacefully then from 1 am until around 5 am she’s in her active sleep mode.

She’s not waking up but she keeps waking me up with her sudden movements and little cries in her sleep. She’s lifting her legs up and then bashing them down. I’m half asleep because I don’t know if she’s going to wake up and need me or not.

I don’t co-sleep, but for the last two nights I had to because that was the only way to keep her calmer in her sleep.
Anyone else had similar experiences? 🙂

Yes going through this the last week or so. I think it’s linked to a development leap and teething 🙈

I have been co-sleeping for months now, it is the only way my 6 months old would sleep and I'll sleep (but I'm from a culture it's more common)

Recently I learned the term "sleep nudging" from the book "the book you wish your parents had read" and we were already doing this without knowing, but it's like doing small steps towards a better routine for sleeping. For example once she's asleep leaving the bed.

At the end of the day, my attitude is they're developing SO MUCH that each stage is just different.

I am writing this while my baby is sleeping next to me, after 2 continuous full poop nappies, yay!

I’m going through this as well, although my baby has never been a good sleeper sadly!

Last night consisted of a wake 10 minutes in, then every hour until 4:30am where she went 2 hours.. I’m a zombie and I’ve been in constant fight or flight today as she’s been fussy/whingey which is out of character!

Teething is the devil's work 🤦🏼‍♀️😭 my little boy slept all night from being a month old, now he's waking every four hours 😭 I'm like the living dead 😳 can't wait til he's got all his teeth!!

As someone whose baby has never done more than 3 hours stretch this sounds pretty decent 👌 🤣

Mine sleeps from 19:30 to 5:45 but she has surrendered her day naps 😅 she does a little grunt at 2am or 4am to check I am there but goes straight back to sleep once I validated her whinging

Arm jerking, stiffening and discomfort

My 10 month old is constantly flailing her arms. She also thrusts her arms out in a jerking movement and stiffens her body. She has started to shout with it like shes in discomfort. My GP and the hospital just say its excitement or frustration. We are concerned there are most neurological issues that are not being taken seriously. Its hard to capture it on video as as soon as I get my phone out she stops! I have a few videos that show it well though.

She has had an EEG which was normal. This has been going for months now though....

Any one else's little one do this??

Baby carrier advice

Does this look correct? excuse the background 😂

Bedtime

How are we getting our LO to sleep at bedtime?

Anyone have any positive sleep stories?

My son is 11 months now. He slept fine as a newborn then the 4 month regression hit and he started sleeping through after that but then around 8 months his sleep was up and down and we've had two months of split nights. I've tried everything lengthening and shortening naps and wake windows, moving bedtime.earlier or later and nothing seems to work. Can anyone give me any hope that things may just resolve on their own?

HELP

My almost 4 month old has always been somewhat a shit sleeper, needing contact naps during the day that have recently had a stop limit at 30 minutes, to waking 1-2 times in the night sleeping in her next to me, to now, over the past few weeks got progressively worse, still contact naps during the day but fights it so hard, has to be rocked with quite some momentum. To slowly each night becoming a co sleeping baby. Which I hate! And I’m also sure she’s not the biggest fan either. To now waking 4-6 times a night, I know it’s more than likely sleep regression but surely there must be a trick I’m missing here? Half the time she won’t even settle on me day or night, or anyone she just cries whilst you’re trying to rock her but would never fall asleep independently so we have to do this. To night time still tossing and turning and crying whilst on me. Patience is dripping away, and my bags are coming in thick and fast 😭😂

Is there something I can give my 2 month old for constipation? 🤔

My baby girl is 2 months old, and she recently went through a formula change, she was going regularly, and then all of a sudden she has stopped being regular... its also presenting itself as diarrhea, is that normal??
