Hi! What's everyone's routine with their little ones? (6.5 months ) Im struggling to figure out when to give actual food around milk feeds and naps. Also how do you go about giving actual food if you're busy in the days or miss the window? Any help would be much appreciated to see how your day goes with your babies...

Hi all, Just wondering whether anyone can relate or help! My 5 month old has suddenly over the last 3 nights started waking up at 2:45/3am and will NOT settle for around an hour or 2. We have resulted in feeding her after the first hour of crying and then she’ll slowly settle however before this she stopped having...

Really struggling with babies wake windows they are always between 1-3hrs but when it goes beyond 2 that’s not for me not trying. She normally goes down ok but for last 7 days she’s not going down at night in anything less than 3hours final wake window. I think it’s a sleep regression but I keep trying to change thi...

Does anyone’s baby still not self settle? My boy is 8 months old and we cosleep. He started waking every 30mins to an hour at night . I presume he can’t link his sleep cycles. I’m not sure if this is a phase or if this is him now… I can’t really cope like this … but also I can’t do any form of crying it out as it ...

OK, so how do you do all this?! Do you just tell the baby, ok - this is what happens at this hour - and hope they comply?! Lol seems like a load of crap 💩 🤔😅 This is me venting. I saw this and started laughing out loud - through tears lol

Should u be concerned if I sometimes hallucinate a bit at night? It hasn’t happened in a couple weeks but some nights I wake up and think I see my baby laying next to me and I get so confused because she sleeps in her crib but it goes away after like 30 seconds or I’ll even think I see my partner next to me and he w...

Would a cot bed frame hold me if I was to get in there with my son? I’m unable to go into mine and partners bed as he is really ill atm so sleeping on sofa or the floor of my boys room. If I was to get into his cot, would it hold me? I don’t want it breaking but he likes me as his comfort.

Over the past week, my LO’s naps have went from 2 hours long (give or take) to now not sleeping over 30 minutes. Every nap without fail, is 30 minutes or less. He hasn’t slept over 30 minutes in about 4 days. He is SO cranky and over tired… I don’t know how to get him out of this rut.. any help appreciated 🙃

We moved my LO when she was around 6 months to the cot because she was getting slightly too big for her noses basket, she kept waking herself up in the cot so moved her back to the Moses basket. But she’s 8 months now and had completely outgrown the Moses basket. I put her in the cot yesterday but she woke up every ...

We are struggling with daytime naps with LO ( 10 weeks old), so she will only sleep in mine or my husband arms in the day and it’s a whole mission! We have to have white noise on, rocking her, tapping her bum and shh her continually in order to get her to sleep. When she is finally sleeping, sometimes she will onl...

Please can I have some guidance where to find the best floor bed/Montessori bed with high rails so my boy cant climb out and where’s best to look for mattresses as they have to be a certain firmness don’t they for babies and toddler sleep? I will be cosleeping with him from now on.

My son is almost 2 months old. I've always put him his back, but he always seems to want to sleep on his side. What can I do?

He’s wearing a vest baby grow and a 2.5 tog sleep bag but I swear he’s waking up because he’s cold. His body feels nice and warm but his arms and face feel cold. I’ve been putting him in with me when I think he’s cold and he goes back off to sleep until morning but it’s killing my back/neck 😭 is he cold or is it a…

My 9 week old keeps having an actual wake window that lasts up to about 90 mins at 1/2am 🫠 We do all of the suggested things such as not interacting with her during her bottle, keeping room dark, white noise etc Is anyone else experiencing this? How do I help it, it's draining me 😅

We’re almost 12 weeks here and for the past 13 days, she’s been waking up every 3-4 hours at night to feed, she will take her normal full size bottles and we’re really at a loss now and low optimism on how long this is going to last. Our previous growth spurts - she’d eat at night for few days and then would get bac...

How are you dealing with unsolicited advice? I usually either brush it off, argue my case or use it as a teaching moment for ppl who are just clueless. But yesterday it all got too much because someone who knows not to, kissed my baby and others commented on her contact napping and I just LOST my shit 😅 Some of…

I have driven when she's fed, clean and due to sleep sbe must cries. Normally she feeds or rock to sleep currently. We don't often drive far for her to nap in the car at the moment but I've drove to my parents house for the weekend (2 hours) and back today and she just gets so worked up. Tried white noise, differen...

Are people changing their LOs nappy before each feed during the day as well as at night?

My newborn is cluster feeding at the moment. He’s 25 days . during the day he wants feeding roughly every hour. he feeds and then falls asleep in my arms and then I transfer him to his crib. It feels like he’s restless in his crib and he wakes up within an hour wanting more. The nights are far more difficult. last n...

I have a 19 month old and his sleep has gone to pot in the last few weeks, and it was bad to begin with. I still feed on demand and to sleep. We also co-sleep. However he is now fighting his naps and his nighttime bedtime. Last night, it took four hours to get him down and he eventually slept at 11pm, despite waki...
