I don't get it

Can anyone make this make sense or tell me why. I'm a SAHM and breastfeeding our ten month old who hates bottles but will take one occasionally...so getting up with her falls to me. (Note he'd definitely get up with her if I asked but he drives a semi and I don't want him wrecking). She wakes most nights crying ju...

Confessions of an anxious momma

Omg. Sometimes I can barely stand the noises my infant makes at night. Is she awake, is she asleep, does she need me, is this normal, did I burp her enough. It's never ending. Anyone else?

Baby wakes at 5am

Sleeping at night query

I just wanted to post and ask if anyone has had their babies fall asleep for long stretches at 12 weeks or not. Over the past few days my LO has been sleeping between 8.5 to 9.5 hours straight before waking up on their own to be changed and fed.

15 month regression

How long does this delightful waking up 100000 times a night lasted for you all? The only thing that puts him back to sleep is a bottle and I’m worried he’s going to start getting used to night feeding again

I’m just exhausted and would rather be in the newborn trenches ag...

Baby self-soothing

I have been rocking my 8 week old baby to sleep for daytime naps. Everything I read says to put baby down drowsy but if I do that in the daytime he is wide awake immediately, and often upset. Am I missing something? Any suggestions on how to do this better? I’m worried he’ll get use to being rocked to sleep, but...

Whose 6 month old is still in the ‘4 month regression’?

My baby’s sleep is getting progressively worse, she now wakes every 1 hour and a half to feed, sometimes even every 1 hour, and it’s killing me. I’m scared to go down the sleep training route as I’ve heard bad things, but I’m on my knees. I don’t understand because some nights she will sleep 4 hour chunks, but ther...

Unable to put baby down!

Does anyone else have a baby that will only contact nap during the day? My 11 week old will only sleep on someone if we’re at home - luckily she’s happy to sleep in the pushchair or car seat if we’re out but at home wakes the second you put her down 🫠 even if she’s in a deep, deep sleep! I see all these posts on…
