More wake ups

3 month old used to do 4 hour stint and then 3. Now he wakes up multiple times a night and is really hard to put down. I think he's too young for regression. So I'm thinking of introducing a dream feed around 10.30. Does anyone else do this?

Sleep

If your baby has had a bad nights sleep do you let them sleep in or wake them up at the same time each morning regardless

Overtired?

So my newborn literally hasn’t slept for more than 15 minutes in 4 hours. She’ll wake up and be hungry so I’ll change her, feed her, burp her, and then try to transfer her to the crib and that’s when she always wakes up and usually the pacifier will soothe her back asleep but she keeps pushing it back out and throwi...

Bottle during the night

My 8 and a half month old still wakes during the night for a bottle. Told my HV today and she was shocked and told me he shouldn’t be needing a fed throughout the night. Does anyone else’s LO do the same? Not sure if it’s a comfort thing at this point as he’s a terrible sleeper and always ends up in my bed during th...

Sleeping arrangements after 1yr

My girl is turning one next week 😭 and I know I should update/upgrade her sleeping arrangements soon. Right now she is in a 47x47 pen on the ground that has a mini crib mattress and a few toys. It has been THE BEST (for me) but now she’s almost outgrown the mattress. Does anyone have a similar situation? (pic of…

Contact naps with a toddler

Anyone else still doing contact naps at 1+ years old? I enjoy them still so I’m not looking to transition my baby to independent sleep just yet. I do wonder if it’s normal though.

Picky sleeper

My 10 day old son is super picky on where he sleeps at night. He will just completely decide he doesn't want his crib after a feed or change. This makes it tricky for me to get to sleep again as well. As he will only either settle on me(or his dad) or in the moses basket in our lounge. Anyone else had this issue?

Bedtimes

what time does your toddler go to bed at night? my ex-husband puts her to bed at 9pm at his place and in an effort to keep the same schedule, i do the same. she definitely needs to be going to bed earlier each night and it’s hard because she’s always exhausted in the morning for daycare.

Swaddles vs Sleep Sacks

Hi Moms! Our little one will be 17 weeks old tomorrow. She hasn’t yet starting rolling, but she is too big for the Velcro swaddles we used to use at night. I received what I think are sleep sacks, but the one I tried last week was too small for her. Any advice on if it’s still ok to swaddle if she’s not yet rolling ...

Is it your toddler still napping?

Pretty sure we are in the process of dropping the nap altogether. He has managed most days recently without one to a reasonable bedtime, when he has had a nap it has been short (in the car). We've been through phases where he has seemed like he is dropping the nap before but this time seems it's for real.
