Sleep help 😩😴

My son is nearly 22 months and sleep is still a nightmare. He’s never slept through and is still waking in the night for a bottle. His day naps seem to be fine and as expected 1.5-2 hours. We were doing bed time routine 6.30, bed for 7 and he was going down well, awake and self settling to sleep. Since the clocks ch...

Sleep training.

I don't want opinions, just advice from moms who've sleep trained their little ones. I started sleep training my girl when she turned 7 months old. She was waking up way too many times and it was getting out of control. I got to a point where I wasn't able to get up to get my older kids ready for school anymore. I ...

I feel very guilty but I get so frustrated if he wakes early in the morning and I have to add a 4th nap or he wakes early from...

Baby still in cot?

Hi guys. So my 20 month old is still in his cot because he moves around quite a lot still, is it time to change him to a toddler bed with a duvet or should I wait still? Not quite sure what to do. I want to try and get him in the toddler bed before his brother/sister arrives in Oct. Thank you 😊

14 month sleep regression

My little girl has always been a pretty solid sleeper apart the usual teething/illness, but in the last couple weeks she wakes up multiple times during the night and won’t settle unless she’s in our arms. If she’s put down and shushed/bum patted (which used to work a treat) she goes absolutely crazy and screams in...

Spinning round!

Is anyone else’s baby spinning round in their cots? My girly keeps waking her self up because she’s going round and getting stuck! I read it can be because she’s started rolling round but she’s getting stuck length ways in her cot and not rolling over in her sleep! Any ideas on how to stop it or to help her? Thanks!😄

Childminder sleeping babs in buggies

Am I a snob/ Karen for not loving this? We’re looking for a new childminder for my little one and so many nap their kids in prams. My little chick naps 2 hours in the afternoon and a pram just doesn’t feel like it would give good sleep? Do I need to chill out 😂🫠

1 bed flat feeling guilty!

Is anyone else in the same boat where they only have 1 bedroom and baby doesn’t have their own room yet? We live in London and it’s still expensive even just to have our flat. We are looking to move to somewhere bigger but at the moment baby is still in our room and I feel guilty that he doesn’t have his own room ...

Nap length with help

Do you help your baby back to sleep (giving dummy back/holding putting down etc.) when their naps exceed 30-45 mins? My boy on average does 40-45 min naps on his own but never more without some intervention which is often dummy falling or waking up after one cycle so I hold him rock a bit and put down again. I wo...
