Our LO is 4mo and we’ve done sleep shifts since birth. LO sleeps downstairs and one of us goes to bed/other on the sofa and then we swap. It’s getting beyond tiring and uncomfortable now.

So my baby is 8 months old already and I still can’t manage her sleep schedule. She still sleeps next to my bed in a bassinet, her bedtime is only when we go to sleep which is late.

Anyone else’s baby insist on sleeping like this? 😂🤦🏻‍♀️ I put him in his next to me feet to bottom in the centre every night and every time I wake up, he’s like this. Constantly have to keep moving him back!

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?

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.

Any tips and tricks to get rid of a dummy. My little boy turned 2 on Monday and I’ve said all along this would be the day we stop.

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

Hey ladies, a bit of a debate but if you are UK based what is the best temperature for your baby to sleep? I’m talking about what your baby wants, not what health visitors recommend. Because my little boy likes it warm! But NHS guidelines recommend 16-20 degrees which is artic for our house. My son will sleep be...

Is anyone else going through a sleep regression right now? It could definitely be worse but getting me up 2/3 times a night and this time last week she would sleep 9pm-9am so it’s killing me😂 I shouldn’t have gotten used to it!

E.G try to make them nap because an app or system says it’s due , and / or then wake them from the nap after a certain time because an app or system says it should be a certain length

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…
