My LO screams the house down when he is trying to sleep, is that normal or is there an underlying issue I should look into?

my little one is sleeping 7/8 hours now through the night and I’m waking up absolutely soaking, when will my body regulate or will it not? I have no idea about breastfeeding, absolutely winging it. she’s 9 weeks old, tia

Has anyone else’s little one dropped their nap in the day completely yet? My little boy is 19 months old (20 months on 01/01/2024) and he still has a nap after lunch time at the moment but yesterday and the day before he didn’t nap (we had family over and he just didn’t want to) and he went to sleep instantly at be...

Has anyone managed to get through the regression without any sleep training? Is it possible that babies just learn to link their sleep cycles?

At what age were your babies sleeping in their own room?

My LO is 8 weeks old and has started sleeping for at least 7/8 hours in one stretch the past few nights. Should I still be waking her up to feed every 3/4 hours like I used to do or is it alright to just let her sleep until she wakes up at this age? She has been gaining weight well and is over 10lb now.

My LO has always gone into his cot awake and fallen asleep independently or with a little help of a little pat on the bum, he then has woken multiple times in a night. However recently the only way I can get him to sleep is to now cuddle and rock him to sleep. Has this happened to anyone else? Is this just a phase?

Just looking for a bit of advice. My son is nearly 18 months old and he is still cuddled to sleep each night. We go downstairs to his room, and we sit on his rocking chair where I cuddle him to sleep before transferring him to his cot. I am due our second baby in May and I’m getting worried about how I’ll manage on ...

Is anyone taking their own crib sheets with them? If so, what kind? I know they only provided blue paper roll last time I gave birth.

Hi! What's everyone's routine with their little ones? (6.5 months ) Im struggling to figure out when to give actual food around milk feeds and naps.

Hi all, Just wondering whether anyone can relate or help! My 5 month old has suddenly over the last 3 nights started waking up at 2:45/3am and will NOT settle for around an hour or 2. We have resulted in feeding her after the first hour of crying and then she’ll slowly settle however before this she stopped having...

Really struggling with babies wake windows they are always between 1-3hrs but when it goes beyond 2 that’s not for me not trying. She normally goes down ok but for last 7 days she’s not going down at night in anything less than 3hours final wake window. I think it’s a sleep regression but I keep trying to change thi...

Does anyone’s baby still not self settle? My boy is 8 months old and we cosleep. He started waking every 30mins to an hour at night . I presume he can’t link his sleep cycles. I’m not sure if this is a phase or if this is him now… I can’t really cope like this … but also I can’t do any form of crying it out as it ...

OK, so how do you do all this?! Do you just tell the baby, ok - this is what happens at this hour - and hope they comply?! Lol seems like a load of crap 💩 🤔😅 This is me venting. I saw this and started laughing out loud - through tears lol

Should u be concerned if I sometimes hallucinate a bit at night? It hasn’t happened in a couple weeks but some nights I wake up and think I see my baby laying next to me and I get so confused because she sleeps in her crib but it goes away after like 30 seconds or I’ll even think I see my partner next to me and he w...

Would a cot bed frame hold me if I was to get in there with my son? I’m unable to go into mine and partners bed as he is really ill atm so sleeping on sofa or the floor of my boys room. If I was to get into his cot, would it hold me? I don’t want it breaking but he likes me as his comfort.

Over the past week, my LO’s naps have went from 2 hours long (give or take) to now not sleeping over 30 minutes. Every nap without fail, is 30 minutes or less. He hasn’t slept over 30 minutes in about 4 days. He is SO cranky and over tired… I don’t know how to get him out of this rut.. any help appreciated 🙃

We moved my LO when she was around 6 months to the cot because she was getting slightly too big for her noses basket, she kept waking herself up in the cot so moved her back to the Moses basket. But she’s 8 months now and had completely outgrown the Moses basket. I put her in the cot yesterday but she woke up every ...

We are struggling with daytime naps with LO ( 10 weeks old), so she will only sleep in mine or my husband arms in the day and it’s a whole mission! We have to have white noise on, rocking her, tapping her bum and shh her continually in order to get her to sleep. When she is finally sleeping, sometimes she will onl...

Please can I have some guidance where to find the best floor bed/Montessori bed with high rails so my boy cant climb out and where’s best to look for mattresses as they have to be a certain firmness don’t they for babies and toddler sleep? I will be cosleeping with him from now on.
