What time do you put your little ones to bed? Mine goes to bed at 7 as he’s shattered by then but he’s awake so much in the night I’m thinking about trying a much later bedtime?

Sorry I don’t mean to be disrespectful or offend anyone but I am so disheartened by seeing loads of people saying their baby sleeps through the night already.. mine doesn’t and I just don’t know why some people are more lucky than others, what did they do to deserve the sleep 😭 I am genuinely losing the will to…

How many naps are you 4 nearly 5 month old baby’s having during the day?

Not sure what I’m trying to ask for really. I guess I’m wondering if it’s normal or not. Over the past 2 weeks, I realised that I think we’ve passed the 4 month sleep regression (LG is 5 months just over now) so I’ve been trying to implement a sturdy bedtime routine. We’ve gotten REALLY good at it, to the point now...

How do you get your babies sleep at night time? I have to rock my baby to sleep then transfer into cot (6weeks) and wondering am I making a rod of my own back?

Am I the only one that doesn’t have a routine with my baby? My baby is almost 4 months and I just go with the flow of her sleep pattern. The latest she is going to bed and put to sleep is around 10pm but is it bad for me not to have a routine? I’m kind of just letting her take the lead on this, am I wrong for this?

I know at this age naps and bedtime are still quite unpredictable but I feel my 6 week old and me could benefit from some sort of loose nap time and bedtime routine. Right now she doses off as and when, and her wake windows can be super short or mega long! Does anyone follow a loose routine or wake windows they can ...

Prefacing this with the fact that I have a great husband! I’m a SAHM living the dream, all thanks to him and his wonderful self! But he thinks I “get to sleep in” when he goes to work at 3am. No! I don’t get to “sleep in”! I get to wake up 3-4 times periodically throughout the night, then wake up in the early hours...

Since being born , my baby fights daytime sleep ends up for hours during the day even when trying to put down he falls asleep he wakes up once put down or even wakes up in my arms. He’s overtired but fights sleep.

Hey mums So looking for some advice on getting started with a routine LO is 3 months now and kind of unintentionally fallen into a routine that looks a bit like this 0930- wake up & BF 1030- bottle 5oz 1130 - nap for 45m 1300 - bottle 6oz 1500 - nap anywhere between 45m-3hr 1700 - bottle 6oz 1930 - nap 30m 2000 - b...

LO bedtime is still 9pm... Has been for weeks. I have no idea how to bring it forward? He still wants a feed that late and will wake up again at 1am and 5am for feeds also

When does it end?? I’ve tried really hard today to swerve it, my little girl only cat naps maximum half an hour, even in the carrier. Then 5pm hits she goes mental. I tried a late nap at half 4 today but she woke up after ten minutes. It’s really taking a hit on my mental health. I have a toddler at home as well a...

Our LO is 14 weeks old and has suddenly reduced how much formula she will take in a day - from 620ml to around 440ml the past two days. Yesterday thought it was because she breast fed more but she’s had less breast milk today too (she’s combi fed and lasts has been). She’s also seemingly struggling with the bottle t...

Anyone’s baby still feeding to sleep? I’m worried about going through a regression and not being able to put him down without the breast. I’ve tried the rocking, the dummy, putting him down drowsy, awake, etc etc. He will just cry and cry nonstop until I finally have enough and put him on the breast. I’m a human, t...

When did you all start giving your baby a pillow to sleep with?

9.5 months pp and breastfeeding. Recently started cosleeping just for naps in the day, and getting two naps a day between one and two hours and still tired! When does the tiredness get better?

Any tips on how to stop the contact napping? It started at 7 weeks where she won't sleep during the day unless it is a contact nap, but is fine at night...

Hey mamas Help me settle this please. I have twins, they’re in nursery 2 days a week and are a HANDFUL to say the least. Context- We come from black background so their hair is curly/afro and would take a long time to detangle and style. Getting them dressed consumes a lot of time and especially when they refu...

We’ve always had to stay with my LO until he falls asleep. I know it’s not ideal but aside from that he was always a good sleeper - until he turned 2 and suddenly wanted to sleep in our bed all the time. Eventually we gave in because we were all exhausted and we thought it would just be a phase. BIG mistake - lesson...

Little one is sleepy which is to be expected. Did your LO’s go off their feeds? My LO is having a lot less milk and I’m guessing it’s cause she’s sleepy. Thank you ❤️
