Desperate for sleep tips!

Something that’s always works is I have put my son into a routine that after bath time every night, he gets creamed and bottled and will fall straight to sleep. The bath is what lets him know I have to sleep now xx

I could have written this myself..nothing works apart from boob and lying next to me 😭it was going so well sleep wise until 4 months 🫠

Awh mama 🩷 I feel you! I struggled with my now 7 year old when she was a baby. 3 years it took her to finally sleep through. My 10 month old however, has (apart from teething periods) slept through since being 4 months old. She's been on her own room in a cot since 6 months old. I bought a white noise machine and have it on the hairdryer setting for half an hour. I put it on as soon as we start the last nappy change every night, make a point of actually whispering to her that its bedtime, and have a snuggle standing up while swaying before placing her in her cot. We have the same evening routine of dinner, play, bath, and bed. Its worked wonders for us this time round. Every baby is different though lovely, you'll find what works for you and your little one. I swear by a white noise machine though xx

Maybe try dressing him colder/warmer? My little one started sleeping a little better when I started dressing him slightly warmer than the chart I was following was suggesting, e.g. if it recommended a 1 tog sleeping bag and long sleeve vest I would either add PJ bottoms or use a sleepsuit instead of vest

Can he self settle at all? Like if you put him down for the initial sleep how are you doing it? Are you putting him down awake or asleep/rocking etc? Same with during the day for his naps?

Literally in the same boat giiiiirl

You’re not alone. 6 months today and last night he was on my boob so much I actually surprised they still on me today. I am broken from the constant feeding and sleeping on me. Can’t get sleep

Another one in the same boat here. Dying of exhaustion. He needs to go in his big cot but I’m never going to be able transfer him. Causing me so much anxiety 😭

When I first put him down for the night, he seems to actually do okay I do bath moisturise nappy and pyjamas and then he usually has a breastfeed or a bottle that actually works quite one. He seems to go down okay but he just doesn’t stay down.
