Swaddling

My baby has been waking up at night trying to break out of the swaddle. I was thinking maybe she wants to suck on her hands so a few nights ago I let her arms out of the sleep sack and the rest of the night there were still a bunch of wake ups. I have been swaddling since then and she still wakes up a couple times a...

Putting baby to bed

Is anyone else still putting their baby to bed and naps when they're already asleep? I have tried drowsy and awake and it has really just extended the time it takes to get baby down. I'm worried I'm building bad habits, but I also don't know what else to do.

Co-Sleep to Independent Sleep

Hi guys! I have a 2 month old that is currently co-sleeping with me, but I know long term this will not work for my family. Do you guys have tips on transitioning to independent sleep? Currently the only way I can really get him down for a good sleep stretch (about 2-3 hours) is to side line feed to sleep.

Help 😭😭😭 my baby is almost 8 months and still waking up 7-8 times at night. Often every 30-45 min (sleep cycle I assume) Crying. And I have to give boob to calm him down.

Daytime naps

I usually contact nap but I’m starting to put my baby in the next to me once a day. The first one I shut the curtains and put the noise machine on and the second I’ve kept the curtains open and just pottering around the house as I would (so not intentionally quiet). What’s everyone else doing? What are we ‘supposed’...

Is your baby sleeping through the night?

Curious to see where everyone is at. Sadly my LO has never done a full night. At most 5 hours but that was before regression hit. Ever since we started solids it has gotten a whole lot worse, 4-6 wakings. Really finding it hard, I feel so broken from lack of sleep. Don’t know what to do.
