My 2 year old has been waking up every hour and super clingy!!

How many naps, and how many longer naps, does your 6-month-old take (or used to take)? I read that babies this age should have 2–3 naps a day, each lasting around 1 to 1.5 hours. My baby takes 4–5 naps, but they’re only about 30 minutes long. Thank you 💕

Breastfeeding mums - how are you settling your little ones in the night when they wake? I currently feed and he falls asleep on the boob and I pop him back into his next to me. This has always been the case and has always worked. However, he is currently going through sleep regression and is waking every 2hrs duri...

Those who are holding or rocking to sleep, can you ever see them settling in their cot bed awake on their own? I can't! He just stands up and runs around it. I have been holding him to sleep on the sofa opposite his cot bed since the day he was born, but he's taking an hour to fall asleep and just rolls around on ...

My 10 month old sleeps well at night in her cot but during the day it's impossible for her to nap unless it's a contact nap... I love the cuddles but it would be great if I could put her down at times and tidy/eat etc. If she falls asleep and I put her in the cot she immediately wakes and cries.. if I put her in the...

Hi everyone, my 10 week old is still waking up from naps/sleep and crying straight away. Is this normal?? If it is normal when does it normally stop?

No matter what direction I lay her down in, she wakes herself up rolling over and hitting the railings. I’m so tired of having to try to put her to sleep 3+ times 😞

Hiya ladies After seeing someone reccomend the app on here I've downloaded and tracked his naps for the day They've told me to put baby to sleep for 7pm even though that's only a 3 hr 15 wake window before bed. We usually do 4 hrs minimum? Should I stick with the 4 hrs or give the app suggestion a go? Anyone trie...

Can anyone else’s baby only manage 90 min wake windows? It’s becomes such hard work after that😅 LO is 20 weeks Sunday.

My twin girls are 2 and they have never woken up from naps nicely always screaming crying be it a nap in the car or in their cot they just never wake up nicely. Am I doing something wrong ? Please help

My 5 week old son seems to nap all day- we’re in a constant cycle throughout the day of wake-feed-change-sleep with ‘content’ wake windows that seem to be no more than 5-10 minutes. I haven’t been able to do any developmental play with him (e.g. tummy time, reading stories) and I’m worried he’s falling behind… but d...

I haven’t sleep trained my baby very much. He is getting used to sleeping in his bassinet drowsy but awake. But I haven’t been consistent. I don’t have an intentional routine but I swaddle him and stay in the baby room where it’s dark until he falls asleep. He sleeps usually 3 hours his first sleep and then after t...

Second baby just hit six weeks and has become a nap refusing tiny banshee. Pls tell me I am not alone 😂 I don’t remember my first being this wild at this stage!

Did anyone successfully sleep trained their little one? I co sleep but now that he is 6 months, want to move him to his cotbed. Any advice would be greatly appreciated, thanks!

Does anyone else’s baby still startle a lot whilst going to sleep? She’s nearly 12 weeks. With my first he lost his startle fairly early on and my daughters just seems a lot more extreme. We are having to wean off the love to dream swaddle as she’s showing signs of rolling so last night was pretty hard! Anyone else ...

Baby is having 3 hour plus day naps and I need to wake. Anyone else experiencing same? My first would nap for 30 mins max!

Please add your reasons :) there’s no wrong or right answer just different parental approaches which work for each family x

My 22 month old has started climbing out of the crib so we’re moving him to a toddler/floor bed tonight, we’ve put up a stair gait too and baby proofed everywhere he can access upstairs. My worry is, what will stop him from now climbing over the stair gate when he can climb out of the crib? Do I need to shut his bed...

Hi! M baby girl is almost 9 months old, and it's been around 3 weeks that she keeps waking up 4-5 times at night crying. I mean she doesn't actually wake up, just starts to cry for some seconds and after I soothe her, she falls asleep but wakes again like two hours later . She's fell fed and I don't think there's so...

My son is 4.5 months old. He doesn’t sleep longer than 1 hour max 2 at a time at night. He keeps waking up. 9 times at night. I’m so exhausted. What should I do? Feed him more before bed? He also has slight reflux.
