Contact naps
At what age did your baby go from contact naps during the day to sleeping independently? Even if you had to get them to sleep in your arms first and then transfer them? Just wondering when it started to happen for others!

My daughter has started being able to self soothe and get herself down for some naps now and being able to be transferred where she falls asleep on me. I would say this has only been for the past 1 week so from 10 weeks old x
Ours startled showing signs of being able to self soothe back to sleep after transfer to bassinet at around 2 months
18months old and still have to hold her to sleep before transfer into her cot at bedtime.
My 3yo never did. Contact napped the whole time he napped.
Almost 2. She contact napped until we moved house and she got her own bedroom with a double mattress on the floor then she asked to nap in there instead.
Baby is 9 months and we still contact nap everyday x

Leaking overnight
Any nappy recs advice for nappy leaks at night? My 7 month old has just started consistently leaking, I’ve sized up in nappies and tried Aldi and rascals but no luck.
Has anyone had better results with pull ups? He’s just big enough now I think but I wasn’t sure if Aldi pull ups are any good?

Don’t know what to do
My 8 week old is still waking every 3 hours for milk. She strains, grunts and wriggles all night long. Its so loud that I am awake all night. I’ve tried infacol, dentinox, colief. We have changed her formula a week ago. She’s been to an osteopath (who said she was the calmest baby she’d ever seen 🙄) i’m at my wits end. I’m exhausted.

Baby slept through…
So it’s 6.35am and baby has slept through the night so obviously I have been waking every 30 mins panicking that somethings wrong and now wondering if I should wake him up. 🤣
He is EBF so my boobs are massive and leaking everywhere but yet the little prince keeps on sleeping. 😴
I really want to go back to sleep but I just know he will wake up the second I get comfy and start to drift off. 😩
Bloody kids!! 🤷🏼♀️🙈

Is it ok to let a newborn (2weeks) sleep if already past birth weight or wake to feed ?
No hate for having a sleepy baby please my first was an awful sleeper so I know how triggering these posts can be 😂… but
My 2 week old slept for almost 6hours last night and we woke him even though he seemed pretty tired and would have slept longer. He’s been a sleepy baby since birth but feeds a lot throughout the day and has surpassed his birth weight but my husband woke me last night to say we need to wake the baby to feed. I said I’d get up and pump and let the baby sleep but he said we shouldn’t let him go over 6 hours without a feed….
Should we wake him? Thoughts below please :)

Does this get better?
My baby has just turned three months and he’s gone back to sleeping like he’s a newborn, so unsettled all night especially after his first stretch.
He was doing 6/7 hour stretches consistently and now it’s like he’s completely forgotten how to link his sleep cycles.
Does this get better or is this how sleep will be now?
