Transitioning from swaddling

Hello mamas, my now 3 month old is now refusing the swaddle and she wakes up if she wants to move and is swaddled and also escapes a lot. We are trying to do a bit o a cold turkey swaddling transition today and I am just wandering how you are dealing with this and is you did transition how long did it take?

EBF babies sleep at night

Just curious as to babies sleep schedules at night as I’m not sure I’m being realistic 😝 My daughter (20weeks) goes down around 8.30 and wakes at 12 and 4/5 for a feed and then again at 6. I think this is quite a lot. Not sure whether to try and settle without feeding.

Sleep!

How can I help my baby boy sleep in his bed, he’s currently 4 months and he’ll settle really well in my arms but the minute I put him down, he’ll last 5 minutes or so and then he’s up again. As soon as I pick him up and cuddle him, he falls back asleep, it’s a constant cycle until he’s content enough to sleep 🫠

Will not settle in cot.

For some reason my little girl will not settle in her cot. If she’s already asleep and placed into it she’s fine but come bed time if she’s still awake she will not go to sleep and I have no idea why. It’s starting to become abit of a nightmare to be honest

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 ...
