I feel a bit silly asking this but last night I was struggling to put my LO back to sleep after her wake up at 22:00 for a bottle I kept rocking her and she’ll be fast asleep and I’ll put her down and she would wake up and start rocking herself side to side in her next to me. After an hour of trying I got a bit fed ...
First night home from the hospital after staying for 2 days after her birth and my LO just won't settle down at all for a sleep. She's had a couple of feeds but honestly my nipples are killing me which is making me reluctant to keep feeding her when she cries. Absolutely shattered after being in hospital for a week ...
Hey! My baby woke up for the day at 6.30 and I changed her nappy and it was very dry compared to normal. She slept 10.5hrs from 8pm-6.30am. Should I be worried. She’s not displaying any other signs of dehydration
Hello! Can’t tell whether my daughter is having a regression or if she just didn’t sleep well because of something else. This is going to be long winded! So my daughter is a sleep sack girly. She hates not having a sleep sack. Absolutely hates it, can’t stress that enough. Normally, she sleeps through (although ...
Last 2 nights I’ve had 3 hours broken sleep. From bang on 3am my baby will scream hysterically and will not settle at all despite feeding, dummy, rocking etc . Don’t know what to do 😭 he slept through the night before this
Do you feed your breastfed baby every time they wake up at night crying or do you try to soothe them without food first?
Just wondering if all newborns require rocking because not long ago my baby would drink bottle, I’d put her in her crib and she’d be out & now requires dummy and rocking.
I don't know if I should be worried about all the sleep baby has! She puts herself to sleep at 8.30 and will sleep until between 6 and 7 will have a bottle and sleep again until anywhere between 9 and 10! She also napping the day but for no longer than 45 minutes. While it's great for me I do worry about how much sl...
Hey guys, my LB has been swaddled to sleep since day 1 basically as that’s what he liked, so last night with the weather being really hot I’ve put him in a 1.5 tog summer sleeping bag, and he did not settle for no longer than 10 mins. I’m actually knackered this morning as I’m so use to him sleeping🙈 Anyone have…
Does anyone else have this problem? My mum struggles to understand when my daughter needs to sleep. She was due to go down between 12:30 - 1pm, we were out and about as I had an appointment and left my daughter with my mum. I said take her for a walk and she’ll fall asleep. After my appointment finished, I went t...
Just wondering how everyone navigates naps - are you putting your baby down properly for a nap, in a dark room etc in their cot/moses or just letting them fall asleep where they are? For example on their gym mat or in the pram? Thanks ☺️
Hi first time mum to a 6 month old, my baby has always struggled with sleep but I have started to feel like since I set some nap times up and she’s been napping I feel she’s improved with her development and mood, I was just wondering whateverone else’s nap times are for a 6 month old Mine wakes up 5am plays in be...
Our baby was born at the start of November but I'm hoping as you ladies are a little ahead you'll be able to advise! We've had a pretty solid 3 nap day for about a month now, starting at around 6am and with bedtime about 7:30pm However last couple of days I've noticed his wake windows seem to be extending again an...
How’s everyone’s LOs sleeping? We have a few good nights doing around 6 hour stretches then back to waking every 3 hours the odd night! Interested to hear how everyone else is doing on this crazy 🎢 😂
We've had to bounce him every single night and for every nap since he was born, he's 10 months now and he's getting pretty heavy (he was 9lbs 8oz when he was born 🫣) I always want to try just putting him in his cot and him drifting off himself but I can't bring myself to let him cry or shout for mama or dada,…
8 month old keeps waking at 5am!! And he won’t go to sleep until between 7-8pm in the evenings as he just fights it and cries. Do you think this is causing the early wake ups and I need to try get him to bed earlier? He used to sleep until 6-6:30am
