Our little boy would happily sit with us til 7:45-8pm but his sleep has gone crazy. He’ll go through to 12-1am but after that he’s screaming for one of us every 60-90 minutes. He’s in a crib in his own bedroom, but we lay with him til he drifts off then go to our own bed.
We’re trying to bring bed time forward a bit to 7-7:30pm. I keep reading that a long wake window after his lunch time nap is causing a cortisol spike that might contribute to the wakeups 🤷🏻♀️

Our LB falls asleep between 8-830. And gets up at 7. Nap always ends before 215… otherwise he will be up partying until after 9. He sleeps all night, very rarely and night wakes.

Usually up from a nap by 2pm then bed at 8pm and wakes up between 6 and 6.30 (only wakes in the night if hes ill). Worth trying both an earlier and a later bedtime to see what works but ive heard you have to try it for a week consistently to see if it actually works.

Bedtime between 7 and 7:30. It's 7:30 but he will sometimes ask to go earlier around 7. He sleeps through and wakes at 6:30-7 depending on whether its a work/nursery day. Nap at home is 1130-1 at nursery it's 12-1:30, again he's asks to go and then takes himself

Bedtime 7:45, wake up between 7:30-8. Nap 1:30-3:30, nursery he only does an hour nap but doesn’t overly affect nighttime sleep

My 2 year old gets put down at 7 pm and my 7 year old go s to bed between 8:30 and 9 pm

I think there must be a a sleep regression because my daughter has been so difficult to put down at night recently! She refused her nap yesterday then was exhausted and crying because I wouldn’t let her fall asleep driving home, then bed time came and she singing baby shark an hour past bed time.

I put my boy to bed around 7pm and we have a cuddle and a chat and he's usually asleep by 7:30pm - he wakes between 6:30 and 7am. Naps 12:30/12:45-2/2:15ish

7-7:30 how does he sleep when he fist goes to sleep do you sit in the room with him? If so he could be waking in the night and wanting that for comfort maybe? You could try when first putting him to bed around 7 not sitting in with him if that’s something you want to try and break? X
How long did you rest after a straight forward vaginal birth?
(Asking for this birth as I know c-section/complications require a different level of recovery).
I’m interested to know how quick you returned to household chores and general ‘mumming’ following birth of baby.
I love the idea of the 5-5-5 (5 days in bed, 5 days on the bed, 5 days around the bed) for rest, but I’m curious to know if anyone actually stuck to this or something similar, or if guilt got in the way!

My 5 week old seems so unhappy. I don’t understand whats wrong. She hates being put down. She sleeps fine for the first half of the night, after her night feed she spends the next 3 hours grunting and squirming. She will have a bottle then squirms and cries after it, but not always. I feel like i’m failing her.

When did your babies become happier ( if they were a fussy baby).
My baby just seems unhappy a lot of the time, if he’s not asleep or feeding he’s usually fussy and crying.
He has moments where he’s calm and engaging and it’s lovely but mainly he does just seem unhappy.
Does it get better? He’s 9 weeks old.

My 14-month-old baby is not talking yet and hasn't said their first single word. However, they are babbling, pointing, waving, following instructions, and know a few baby signs.
My husband says it's normal since every child develops at their own pace, but my mother says he is late as he should have said a few words by now.
I've been paying close attention to them, and they have reached all other milestones. I don't know whether I should be concerned or just keep observing for now. Has anyone else been through this?
