I can transfer my baby to the next to me at night some of the time but I have zero chance with naps in the day and they have to be contact naps. Is that still the same for anyone else? I know I'll miss the contact naps and cuddles so not complaining but sometimes I need to make a drink or go to the bathroom 🤣

What nappies have you found that last the whole night without baby needing a change?

Struggling with split nights! When baby boy is at home with us Friday - Monday, we can try to get him to have 2 short naps a day and he sleeps better. However, when he’s in childcare midweek he only has 1 nap. He’ll then treat bedtime as a nap and we have a 3-4 hour wake window in the night 💀 I’ve tried giving him…

Looking for some advice with nap transitions. Is anyone else finding that their babies wake window has suddenly extended and they might be ready for 1 nap a day? How are your little ones finding it? I don’t know whether to consistently push 1 nap a day for my little one or keep it flexible day to day.

Anyone coming out the other end of the regression yet? I’m 2 weeks in hoping the end is near 🥴🥴😴

I’m really struggling to sleep at the moment because I’m so anxious about accidentally sleeping on my back. I’m 27w5d so almost at 28w and it just feels like this big looming date of when I’ll harm my baby if I’m on my back. I keep waking up and I’m on my back and I don’t know how to stop it happening as I’m natural...

Hello, at what time are your babies having their nap? I’m trying to drop to one nap because my baby is refusing his second nap or sleeping only for 30min and waking up at 5 am every day. I’m exhausted but I’m struggling with only one nap because he’s tired very early at around 9-10am so his last wake window would be...

These past couple of weeks my lo has been waking up between 12 and 1 and stays up crying nonstop until I pick her up. I don’t know what to do to help her sleep. I’ve pushed her sleeping to at least 8-830 that way she sleeps longer but she still manages to wake back up. Last night was the only night she slept through...

My little one starts at the childminder in April. I have until then to teach self soothing and reduce /remove him needing breast to fall asleep. He's having 4 short naps at the moment, how many are your little ones having?

7 month old keeps waking up around 4am, she will be WIDE awake. We found change nappy and feed and rocking back to sleep gets her back for couple hours. How do I stop this? I can’t keep waking up for an hour middle of the night. For reference, she has 5 bottles and 2 solid feeds (brekkie and lunch). She has 3 naps...

Feels like we’re back to the newborn stage! My 18 week old won’t sleep anywhere but on me! Not in the next to me, not in the bed beside me, only ON ME! I’m shattered, I feel like we’ve been dealing with terrible sleep for weeks now 😭

Losing my mind trying to figure out what’s going on. Baby has suddenly started waking at 5am. He’d also started fighting naps etc so switched to one nap a few days ago but he’s still waking at 5! He also seems to desperately want his morning bottle as soon as he wakes up so is he waking early because he’s hungry?? H...

How to reduce night feeds? I think it just become habit now now hungry

Omg. Sometimes I can barely stand the noises my infant makes at night. Is she awake, is she asleep, does she need me, is this normal, did I burp her enough. It's never ending. Anyone else?

Baby consistently wakes up at 5AM. Even if we move final feed time he still gets up at 5AM. Any tips on changing his internal body clock to push it to 6AM?

Anyone else just can’t sleep, I’m 37+4 and keep waking up around 4am every night and just lie there for hours. Getting fed up of it now!!

My baby girl is 11 weeks old and since turning 11 weeks she’s stopped sleeping through the night, goes down at half 10/11 used to sleep till 6 at least. Last few nights she wakes at 3/4 and wants feeding but has stopped going back down to sleep. Has anyone else experienced this? She’s found her hands and tries to se...

I have been rocking my 8 week old baby to sleep for daytime naps. Everything I read says to put baby down drowsy but if I do that in the daytime he is wide awake immediately, and often upset. Am I missing something? Any suggestions on how to do this better? I’m worried he’ll get use to being rocked to sleep, but...

Okay girls, help a mama out. How are we sleep teasing our little ones. My son LOATHES his crib he will cry if I even walk towards it to put him in there while I make a bottle.

For those of you who have moved bub into own room, did you do a transition? Or did you just put them in there without a transition? Tia x
