Help! My baby is 4.5 months old now and from the moment she was born and up until now she’s FIGHTING sleep every single time.

She maybe fell asleep on her own once or twice during all these months. Otherwise She needs to be rocked to sleep in my arms for good 30 mins with a pacifier and lullabies etc. Most of the time she also cries hysterically before finally falling asleep. And during the day we only do contact naps, as soon as I put her...

Feeds

Hi all how do you know if your lo is waking out of habit or actually wants feed? My almost 5mo now bottle fed wakes up every 3 hours to the dot and has about half his feed after a cry. We’ve tried rocking him back to sleep sometimes it works and sometimes he’ll have a small feed and sleep. He’s weight is fine but un...

Baby moving in the next to me in the night

My son is nearly 5 months old and has started moving in his next to me. He often sleeps with his head against the mesh sides but I’ve woken up to him trying to move towards the fabric top. He also keeps trying to roll into the sides. Making me so anxious to sleep! Any tips to help this/anyone in a similar situation?...

She’s waking every couple of hours for milk and if I don’t give milk then she won’t go back to sleep however, I fear im making this worse for myself giving milk every time. Any tips or advice welcome please xx

Won’t sleep in Snuz

Any suggestions please, my almost 3 week old will not settle for more than an hour in the Snuz at night. I’m swaddling, white noise etc but he just won’t settle for longer. I need more than an hour stretch of sleep 😭

Sleep going backwards?!

My boy was having one long night stretch from 8/9-3/4 having a feed then going back down until 6/7. Then he stopped going down after his feed and I’d have to hold him. Now he’s up 3x a night again??! He’s 9wks. Is this because of leap2? Pulling my hair out🫣Struggling mama of 3 boys 😵‍💫🫠

Controversial - my baby slept alone in the room

I've never had a bedtime routine, it's always been contact naps until we go to bed. But last night I changed this. I did a bath, bedtime feed in a dark room with white noise and then into the next-to-me by 10:30pm. My husband and I then had a full hour alone with our baby in the next room. It was amazing! I feel re...

9 week old sleep

I keep seeing posts of babies waking 2-3 times a night and people wondering if this is bad. My baby is waking every hour in the second half of the night, after a 3 hour stretch. What am I doing wrong

Is your baby falling asleep on their own?

Frustrated

It’s so hard getting my 1 year old to go to sleep. Even naps. He will literally fight the sleep as in try to do everything to keep himself awake and this will go on for hourssss . Then people have the nerve to ask if you’ll have another one, hell no.
