How much does your baby eat/sleep?

Just curious what other September babies are doing. How much food & milk does your babies have? & what is their nap/night sleep like? I feel like my baby eats so much in the day but still wakes up for a feed in the night and then up for the day at 5am 🙃 Looking for suggestions/anything I can do differently?

Sleep regression 🫩

My little boy has never been a good sleeper. He's 18 months old and had silent reflux as a baby and is dairy intolerant. Solid bedtime routine. Follow wake windows or tired cues. Daytime naps between 1 hour or 2 hours. Can't extend anymore if only 1 hour. Bedtime used to go down after some milk no issues and we got ...

How do you encourage waking baby to self settle

My baby is waking every 2hrs and will only get back to sleep if I pick him up. I've tried settling him by not picking him up and putting my hand on him but he just screams and screams. How did you do it and how long did it take you? Thank you

Does anyone else's baby do this?!

Even though my baby is in the crib next to me, I have a monitor as it has night vision and it's easier to just open my eyes and look instead of getting up to check on him all the time 🙈 Anyway, I just glanced at the monitor and saw he was gone 😱 completely freaked out, jumped out of bed and saw he'd turned himself…

Sleep Training on their own

When did you start helping your baby learn to sleep on their own? What approach did you use, and how long did it take before they were fully sleeping independently? My daughter usually falls asleep while breastfeeding, so I’m not always able to practice sleep training consistently every night. Thanks for any tips! 💕

Bottle weaning challenges

Anyone else having difficulty weaning off bottle &/or pacifier? My 20 month old is VERY emotionally attached to both so our pediatrician said omit the bottle first. We’ve limited the paci to car (when needed) and home only (not at daycare) & mostly just at nap/bed time or for 2-3min if really emotionally dysregulate...

Naps

Hi!! How do you put your babies down for naps? I only attempt this for the 1st nap of the day where I put her down drowsy, but awake. This ends in her fussing/crying/occasionally screaming then eventually falling asleep for 5 minutes then waking up screaming again. At that point, I contact nap to extend it (which I ...
