What is people’s opinion on this method of training? I completely disagree with it and think it’s cruel and emotionally damaging to the baby and toddler.

My son has just turnt 6 months old his bed time is usually 8/8.30 he’s had 2 teeth come through and has not been a happy boy the last couple of days this morning he woke up at 7 and had his first nap at 9 he woke up at 1pm from this nap I tried to wake him up earlier but he just cried and went back to sleep 3 times ...

I feel like I’m going mad/doing something wrong, although health visitor says it’s normal. I keep hearing people say their babies are sleeping through the night. My 10 month old has NEVER slept through and every night he wakes between 3 (on a good night) and 7-8 times. I cannot do sleep training, I guess I’m just ho...

** I know this is a controversial topic (hence posting anon!) so looking for advice from those who have actually tried this method with either positive or negative results! ** Has anyone used the ferber sleep training and found positive results from it? My bubba will only be cuddled to sleep and cannot self settle...

My baby is 8 weeks old and I have just given her a dummy. I have avoided giving her one so far but she is quite grouchy at the moment and is trying to suck her hands and will even try to get my finger to her mouth to suckle. She has settled straight away since I give it to her. I’m looking for advice as I don’t want...

Do any EBF babies sleep through the night!!

Mamas, how much are your December babies sleeping for during the day? Isla turned 4 months yesterday and she is just so bloody nosey! 🤣 It got to 4pm today and she’s had nothing since waking up this morning, so I’ve resorted to bringing the pushchair in the living room with a blanket over so she can’t see anything…

How are we all transitioning to 2 naps? I tried yesterday but come 2pm he was stressed and hysterically crying at me and clearly overtired. He’s 8 months

How long do your little ones nap ? He definitely not ready to drop his nap but I think he might benefit from it being Shorter 😬

How is everyone getting past the 30 minute naps? Even contact napping I need to get up and settle her again by rocking/walking around. In the buggy sometimes she’ll wake then drift back off as long as constantly moving or sometimes she’ll wake and not settle again

What’s the longest stretch your baby is sleeping and how old are they? My baby slept 5 hours last night woke to feed and slept another 3 is that normal? She’s regained her birth weight

My boy is 9 weeks and growing out of his Moses basket very fast, did you move up to a next to me crib or did you just outright start in a cot after the Moses basket? In 2 minds as he’s growing very fast so I’m not sure it would be worth buying a next to me

Anyone have success sleep training baby to transition to a crib after bed-sharing for 9 months? My baby is very active and early at everything, so has been rolling over & crawling for awhile — and now almost walking. He still wakes 1-2 times to nurse and has FOMO, so he tries to wake up to play sometimes. I’m afra...

Does anyone else not put baby to bed and just keep them downstairs with you? (He’s asleep - just not in his cot)

I cannot even believe this but before the clocks went forward by LO used to sleep and then he hit a regression literally the day after and it lasted months! We finally sorted his sleep and naps out and he’s usually in bed time clockwork. But since Sunday he’s waking up at like 4am, he’s only napping for 45 minutes a...

My 7 week baby doesn’t want to sleep in bassinet or cot at all. I have tried swaddle, bath, rocking, feeding, dark room, sound machine.. literally everything but 10 minutes in, baby is screaming and wants to be held Is this normal? I can’t even use the toilet for a second, I haven’t eaten or drink properly in days...

For those who follow wake windows, what are they and how old is baby. My baby’s night sleep sucks and I have no idea if our day schedule is right. We do 2.25/2.25/2.5/2.75

How should i go about this.. I have my baby girl in my bed with me and we have baby #2 on the way, the thought of not having my first born in the room with me really makes me sad and I don’t want to have to stop when baby number two is here… I will be having baby number two in our next to me crib, and won’t even con...

Is anyone getting their baby to sleep through the night? If so , what does your day / night look like?
