I’ve tried to swaddle her, no help. Definite...

How much sleep is your 6 year old getting?

My January 2019 girl has always been a fairly high sleep needs kid. Typically she would sleep 11-12 hours a night. She started kindergarten this year and we’d begin her bedtime routine at 6:45 for her to be asleep by 7:15 and wake by 6:45. She runs on a track team (practice 3x a week, not running meets currently) an...

Congested baby at night

Has anybody got a congested baby but just at night? It's keeping us all up, including himself bless him. Really noisy and he's really fidgeting because of it. He has been told he might have acid reflux so wondering whether it's linked to this.

Baby sleep

So during the day my baby sleeps great on me, on his stomach. I’m wondering if there is a way to safely let him sleep on his stomach while I’m watching during the day, as he is getting so clingy now that he has a hard time being laid down at night.

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...

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 😊
