Ok so I have a bit of a two part question- 1. My baby is still drinking whole milk out of a bottle before his nap and before bed- it puts him right to sleep. He is a pro at a straw with water but will not do milk from it! Should I try a sippy cup? Who had this struggle? 2. When he’s asleep, it’s so hard to brush tee...

Is there one because my daughter will not stay asleep for anything. I gave her a nap earlier yesterday so by bedtime she was EXHAUSTED, she still slept for 4 hours and then decided it was time to get up. If you guys are going through this or did go through this, have any tips?

Anyone else’s baby only contact napping still? I started putting him down last week in his cot but then he kicked off so badly when I put him down one day and he kept kicking off when I tried so I assume he hated it and it caused so much upset for us both that I went back to contact naps. I thought they would have...

As it’s soon approaching the bedtime routine in a couple of hours does anyone else experience this with their little one no matter what order you try the routine in or how prepared you are with absolutely everything you need around you as soon as you start putting those jammies on they ain’t happy? Or is that just u...

My son would sleep 6-7 hours fairly often from 2-3 months and then the 4 month regression and all the others came and it was SO challenging from then on. My 8 week old has been sleeping 8 or almost 9 hours and I’m wondering the likelihood of what’s to come 😅

Is it possible the heat today is making my little one a bit sleepy? He went down for a reluctant nap at about half 1 slept until 3.15 which I was expecting he skipped a nap this morning so he was tired earlier than usual. Changed and fed him and about 5 ounces into his bottle he fell fast asleep again. Now the goo...

Has anyone got the babylo you and me next to me crib and replaced the mattress? I can’t find one with the correct measurements for it. So any recommendations as to where to find one would be great please! 🤞🏻

My 6 week old seems to only settle at night when eating “snacks”. He’ll sleep for about 3 hours at first then every 40 minutes to an hour he’s up and only settles with a boob, but definitely not taking a full feed. Is this “snacking” to sleep going to be a problem for future sleep or is this just a normal stage in d...

Has everyone started a regular night routine? Every time I try it seems like my little one wants to switch up. If you are how are you making it work? Also my little one is a Preemie born 7 wks early, but seems to be pretty on track with his age.

I literally am at my wits end . I have a 16 month old and 4 month old who don’t sleep on the same schedule . I might sleep max 4 hours broken up in 30 min windows

Uh anybody else baby suddenly think this is the best way to sleep?

My 8 week old had his vaccinations this morning at 9:30am, he cried while having them but settled quickly after and fell asleep in his car seat. I gave him Calpol and he continued to sleep after getting home. I put him in the sling for a bit while I cooked lunch and he seemed pretty happy. He then became extremely f...

When they won’t go back down so they are just a grizzly baby? How are you dealing with this? This nap regression is horrific. I get no time for myself because the naps are so short. Then when he is awake he’s tired and miserable.

How is everyone introducing a routine to their baby? Our little girl was born 9 weeks premature so is 11weeks actual, 2 weeks corrected and we’re very much going with the flow at the moment. Keen to try and instil some form of bedtime routine as a minimum but unsure how to do this at the same time every day when her...

Hi wonderful people maybe you could help me with my little one’s sleep issue! She’s been always a good sleeper. She could of sleep anywhere but since last month she only wants to sleep in our bed. She refuses to sleep in her cot. Also naps need to be there too. Im not he biggest fan of cosleeping so is a bit stress...

For those whose babies sleep 12 hours at night for ex 7pm-7am . How many hours of day time sleep are they getting in naps pls?

Anyone else at 6wks and feel like all you’re doing is feeding and having contact naps with baby? I’m hoping it’s because of a growth spurt and I’ll be able to get out and about again soon 🤞🏻

The last few days my little man fights his sleep so much, he gets himself really upset and will fall asleep to wake back up again a few minutes later. Is it normal at this age for them to fight sleep so much

Can you tell me your 5 month olds daily routine? My girl is having up to FIVE 30ish min naps a day which I’m sure is too many… and not long enough… not sure how to fix that!

How long should our toddlers nap for and how often? My little boy woke up at 6:30 am this morning, had breakfast etc and then went down for a nap around 10:30 am, he has just woken up🫣 I won’t be putting him down for a second nap today! Is this normal?
