Bedtime 3 week old

Feeds at night. How many feeds or how long inbetween feeds is your baby waking. My daughter has regained her birth weight but was waking every 2/3 hours. Since gaining birth weight back on, I forgot to set alarm as I fell asleep. She went 5 hours, but she didn’t wake to feed until then. Is 5 hours ok overnight?

Fighting sleep

My little girl is 5 weeks tomorrow , she normally naps a lot during the day, I noticed recently she’s waking more in the mornings but she would still nap fine and sleep fairly well at night too but today she’s been fighting every nap and has been awake pretty much all day only drifting off for max 20 mins at a time ...

Tips for nap time

Has anyone got any tips to get my 8-9 week old to nap during the day? Hes been sleeping well at night but i don’t know if that’s just due to not really napping during the day? Seems the only way is to cry until his bottle is ready, take one sip then fall asleep 😅

Night feeding

If my 4 month old falls asleep during a night feed eg 3am, should I stop feeding them at that point or give the whole bottle if they’re still sucking? I’m just thinking do they need the full bottle? Will it help them sleep longer?

Usually she wakes up 1/2 times in the night for a bottle but recently I have been putting her to bed at normal time 6.30/7pm and at midnight she is awake ready for the day. She is nearly walking, learned loads of new words, started singing,...

Naps

How many naps does your baby do in a day? I have a 3 months baby girl and she does 5 to 6 naps a day before going to bed, each nap is between 30 minutes to an hour, is that okay? She doesn't sleep through the whole night, she wakes up every 2 hrs or less sometimes. I have a routine for her, I gave her a shower betwe...

4 Months Sleep Regression

Sooo is anyone else going through this right now? Lol. I didn't think this would be a huge thing, if anything at all since I had Munchkin on a really great schedule (sleeping wise) & he was ready to go to sleep between 7-8 every single night like clockwork. Like literally no matter what activity we were doing or wha...

When did you switch your baby to a toddler bed? & Did it help?

My almost 1.5 year old hates sleeping in his crib now. He'll only be in there an hour at a time or sometimes doesn't let me put him to nap/sleep at all. I was thinking of getting him a toddler/Montessori bed. He sleeps well with my husband and I and I figured it would be easier. Anyone experience this?

Sleep regression

Anyone experienced baby being extremely Hyperactive and energetic at bed time and just refusing to sleep wanting to play. He cried in his cot I picked him up and he jumped out of my arms like speedy Gonzales and just went. Is it developmental?

3-week old won’t fall back asleep after midnight

Anyone else have a newborn who will go to sleep for the night smoothly, stay asleep for 3+ hours, and then won’t settle after their first wake up? Our daughter is a little over 3 weeks old and we typically get her to bed around 8:30-9pm after a nightly routine of bath time+swaddle+bottle, and then into the bassinet...

Bed time routine

So my little one is 8 weeks and she has a routine of coming up about 10.30 and having a bedtime feed. I was just wondering when people start implementing an earlier routine of 7ish.

Sleeping through the night

Is it okay for my 10 week old to be sleeping through the night? He feeds loads during the day (he’s formula fed) and he’s a big boy he’s just about to move into 6-9month clothing🥲 so he’s growing loads. I just don’t know if I should be waking him up in the night? We do demand feeding so he always lets me know when…
