My 2 Year Old Watches a Movie on the iPad to Fall Asleep To

We put the ipad on a little stool about half a meter away from her cot bed. She watches one movie on the lowest brightness and volume 1, and she very rarely makes it to the end of the movie before she’s fallen asleep. I still feel all manners of guilt that I’m being totally lazy and just sticking her in front of a s...

Is this the 4 month sleep regression?

My lb is 3 months and 3 weeks old. The past few nights he’s been waking up every 1-2 hours and I’ve been really struggling to get him to nap during the day too and when he eventually falls asleep it’s for max 30 mins. Before this he was only waking once a night and napping well in the day 🥲 I’m so tired help

Sleep regression?

Our LG is 19 weeks and has slept 10-12 hours through the night since around 6/8 weeks when HV said her weight was good and we didn’t have to wake her to feed every 3 hours.

Wake up times

What time is everyone’s baby waking up? Mine wakes up at 2 am and then it’s a fight to get her any more sleep. I can usually get her some scattered sleep until 5 am and then it becomes basically impossible. (She’s getting 3.5 - 5 hrs of nap sleep and bedtime is between 7:30 and 8 pm)

Baby sleeping on side

My baby has started turning to her side while asleep and likes to stay in that position. Whenever I turn her on her back she wakes up crying, is it okay to leave her on her side? Is this happening to anyone else?

Crib Protector

Hello, looking for recommendations! My LO rolls over during the night to sleep on his tummy. He does great, however; he tends to crawl all the way to the other side of the crib and bumps his head and this wakes him up. I go in his room and move him but he crawls back up😅. If you’ve experienced this, please let me…

Baby hates being on her back for too long

Unless she’s sleeping, my 9 week old has a very limited tolerance to being in her back, which is making baby activities very difficult! She loves her bouncer/high chair, and will happily sit in those for ages with nothing specifically to keep her interest (I can even leave the room and she doesn’t care), but I can’t...
