Hi I’m struggling to get my son to sleep at night time I’m having to take him for walks for him to go sleep

Any tips on baby wetting through nappy/clothes at nighttime? My 11 week old is now sleeping 6-7 hour stretches however when he wakes he is wet through, I feel so guilty! He sleeps in pampers and they fit correctly, my only other idea is to wake him after 4 hours and change him but I’m reluctant as I want to encourag...

i get hate all of the time from people in my life because i chose to never sleep with my child. he’s 8 months old and i’ve never napped or coslept with him. from day one he was sleeping in his bassinet or crib for every sleep or nap. he’s slept through the night since day one and self soothes, all i have to do is ch...

Just wondering how much sleep us mums get on average!! Combined sleeps naps (in the night) Starting from 1-3hrs because I truly hope none of you are having to do all nighters

My first born was born in Feb so easily slept with a vest, sleepsuit and a swaddle. However it's -3 now and I feel that won't be enough for a newborn, I can't afford to keep the heating on all night so that isn't an option. Is it worth buying a togged swaddle other than just the normal ones what aren't togged? Didn'...

Hello, this sounds really silly🤦🏻‍♀️ but I’ve got the tutti bambini next to me crib, do I need to buy fitted sheets to go on the mattress?! As it says there is a removable cover already on it, so does baby just sleep on it as it is, or do I need to buy sheets? I’m sure I’m complicating things for myself with my…

My little girl has always loved her sleep. She had Hand foot and mouth disease last week so is likely needing the rest. However it's now gone 10am. She went to bed at around 8pm. My maths leaves a lot to be desired but that's 14 hours of sleep. Should I wake her or just leave her to it? She usually wakes around 8am.

Anyone else baby still waking every 3/4 hours for a feed. I am feeling like I am doing something wrong as everywhere I see people are getting full nights but my 11week old is still only doing a couple of hours.

How many naps and how long are they for your 6 to 8 month olds? What time do they go down for the night and wake up?

Anyone else’s child absolutely lose their mind when they’re having their nappy changed? You’d think it was world war 3 🙈

I breastfeed my baby on demand. My baby is not fussy at all. The only time that he cries is when he wakes from a sleep and 5-10 minutes have passed and no one has gone near him. Mostly he will sleep through the night. Even if wakes up I will feed him and then he’ll go back to sleep (this is happening since week 6, h...

Anyone else struggling with the 6 month old stage? Baby has gone from sleeping 10-12 hours a night, to anything from 1 to 4 wakes a night and wakes easily when put back in his crib. This has been going on over a month now. I am really struggling during the night with the wake ups and feel myself getting frustrated ...

My son will be 9 months on the 28th. He goes to bed 8/8:30pm and wakes around 8:30/9am. He usually wakes once a night any time between 2:30 and 5am has a bottle and takes himself straight back to sleep. Is waking for a bottle still normal for his age? Is there anything I should be doing to help him sleep right t...

Hello all! Wondering if your babies are sleeping through the night in their own bassinet and if so what is your secret? Would love to see what some of your daily schedules look like! My guy was sleeping through the night (ish) but only in our bed. I want to get him back in his own space but I only get like an hour t...

I love my little boy dearly, however I’m really not enjoying being a mum. He’s 13 months old, and since the day he was born there hasn’t been a day where he’s not cried / whinged and it’s emotionally draining me, to the point where I’ve just had enough. I hoped when he got towards his first birthday that things woul...

Our little girl drinks an awful lot before bed and if she sleeps for a long time wakes up wet. She goes down at 6.30pm and sometimes will wake at midnight but other night til 4.30am. By 4.30am her tummy is all wet as she's rolled on to her front. We've tried everything we can think of. Splitting the bottle up so sh...

My 10 day old son is super picky on where he sleeps at night. He will just completely decide he doesn't want his crib after a feed or change. This makes it tricky for me to get to sleep again as well. As he will only either settle on me(or his dad) or in the moses basket in our lounge. Anyone else had this issue?

My 3 month old seems to just sleep so much! I know I probably shouldn't complain maybe he just loves his sleep. But this past week he just wants to sleep alot during the day as well as sleeping through the night. Id probably say we only get the odd hour here and there of awake time and the rest of the time he's just...

My little girl is 5 weeks old and sleeping relatively well at night down at 11 then up every 4 hours to feed and we wake at 8/9. However, she really fights sleep during the day! She will be exhausted and almost at the point of falling asleep then wake herself, she will also cry out just before falling asleep which s...
