Community Posts, Tips & Support on Baby Sleep

Baby’s currently 12 weeks old and we are staying at my partners mums at nye and I’m dreading it because idk how baby will sleep in a new environment and also in her pram as we can’t take her next to me unfortunately. So we’ve been doing the same routine for weeks and she’s been sleeping through the night since about...

My baby is nearly 1 and for the last few months we’ve been co-sleeping. It started off because it was easier to comfort her at night but when we upgraded from the next-2-me to cot she refused the cot. So now it became the habit/routine. Neither myself or my partner get a good sleep co-sleeping, it can also get qui...

I’m wanting advice please. My baby is almost 9 weeks old. Since he had his 8 week jabs he’s been sleeping for most of the day. Due to this, it’s taking ages to get him down when it’s actually bedtime and then he’s waking around 2am and isn’t sleeping again till around 8am no matter what we try. Will he just grow out...

Is evetone else feeding their baby when they are waking due to sleep regression? My lo is waking 2hrly an will not go back down without a feed? He takes 3oz 10pm, 1230, 2am, 4am then 630am. He's eating more times at night then he is during the day 😐 but literally will scream the place down if no food...

What on earth is going on.. she used to only wake twice but since the 4 month regression it’s just ruined. Every 2 hours sometimes even shorter. She wakes up and doesn’t even Finnish her bottle. I’ve tried patting and putting dummy in doesn’t work. What can I do 🤦🏻‍♀️ She still eats every 2 hours in the day…

To start we've had little practical support. No one has ever had my lo for more than a couple of hours... other than nursery. My inlaws have only ever had my lo (now 4) for an hour tops alone. There's now talk of him sleeping over theirs (an hour drive away) Firstly it's a bit too little too late in my eyes. Se...

I know it may be a stupid question, but I am really wondering. My little one recently turned 4 months, and he was rolling before but not during nighttime in his cot! Now he is sleeping on his side and on his tummy, but when I think about him rolling over and maybe not being able to roll back or to be in a deep sle...

My 3yo (almost 4) has been awake since 5am. At 7 I made breakfast for her, put the telly on, and told her I was gonna go rest for a bit (I didn't go to sleep until midnight as was doing chores we'd been out all day). There's no dangers in that room, and no choking risks in her breakfast. I've literally only just wok...

I don't know whether to leave her a little longer to see if she self settles. I probs only give her 2mins max (feels way longer but I checked my camera and I'm getting her between 2 to 3 mins) What does everyone else do? For info she's still in our room as we have temporarily moved into my parents house for 3 mo...

Hi all, my 3 months old baby has suddenly decided to refuse taking the bottle. She won't suck, just sort of mouths it and then screams, sometimes even to the point of gargling and sounding like she's choking with the bottle in. And we take it out, she screams will more. She’s been really hard to settle for bed at n...

We've been sleep training using the Ferber method & had amazing results. He's gone from 1-2 hourly wake ups to sleeping 8 hours in 3 days. He now wakes up at 4am and last night was awake for an hour before I caved and got him into bed with me? Any advice for helping them sleep those last 3 hours in their cot?

5 day old baby loves to wrapped to sleep in a swaddle like a burrito We have bought swaddle wraps but he isn’t a fan a was restless at the start of the night in it We swapped it to a fleece blanket Is this ok to sleep in over night?? Or has anyone experienced this before when they prefer one type to another ? A...

Baby is teething and is not sleeping at night! He is just shouting all night. I’ve given calpol, teething powder and not had longer than half an hour sleep at a time. Anyone else!?

For anyone who's still breastfeeding, how many times does your baby nurse per day? My 9 month old recently started being much less interested in nursing, and went 7 hours without nursing one day. He's a good eater and has 3 meals a day and drinks water. He gets so excited about playing and crawling and trying to sta...

My son is 7 months and waking every night, around 1:30/2, for 2hrs. This has been going on since the beginning of November. He’s wide awake and nothing can settle him. He’s not hungry, I change his nappy if it’s needed, I’ve adjusted the temperature in his room in case he’s getting cold, I’ve tried going in every ...

Dose anyone else baby sleep on there belly though the night

How are you dealing with unsolicited advice? I usually either brush it off, argue my case or use it as a teaching moment for ppl who are just clueless. But yesterday it all got too much because someone who knows not to, kissed my baby and others commented on her contact napping and I just LOST my shit 😅 Some of…

My LO is now 4 months for the last three days has been crying for a long time before each nap. It seems to start when he gets tired. I am watching his sleep queues and wake windows and we have tried everything from walking around, changing him, singing, another bottle etc. But he seems to only stop for a moment when...

What’s your babies night time sleep schedule looking like?

So my 15 month old has always been a bad sleeper but he’d usually latch on for a couple seconds then drift back off to sleep and have around 1-2 actual feeds at night. For the last 5 nights he’s woken up every 1.5-2 hours and taken full feeds! Full on gulping for a few minutes, which fully wakes me up obviously. I’...
