Anyone else have a baby that needs physical contact to sleep? Other than in the car or pram all of his naps are contact naps. We do a bedtime routine and cuddle him to sleep before transferring him to his cot. Any night wakeups he needs stroking or cuddling to re-settle and usually ends up in us co-sleeping from the...

Struggling with split nights! When baby boy is at home with us Friday - Monday, we can try to get him to have 2 short naps a day and he sleeps better. However, when he’s in childcare midweek he only has 1 nap. He’ll then treat bedtime as a nap and we have a 3-4 hour wake window in the night 💀 I’ve tried giving him…

I have an almost 2 year old who only sleeps in till 6am every morning, and 1 week old new born who is up every 2-3 hours for milk, and sometimes it takes 2 hours to feed, burp and sooth the new born before he’s up again an hour later 😭 How can I get my new born to sleep longer stretches ( I know 2-3h is normal )…

Looking for some advice with nap transitions. Is anyone else finding that their babies wake window has suddenly extended and they might be ready for 1 nap a day? How are your little ones finding it? I don’t know whether to consistently push 1 nap a day for my little one or keep it flexible day to day.

My LO is 3 months. Love my baby so much but I have suffered from insomnia and sleep issues & now feel a lot of worry around my baby waking up sometimes every hour or 2 . Starting to dread night times & feeling anxious because I don’t know if my baby will just wake me up constantly. Any advice or tips would be wonde...

My 10 week old won’t sleep for longer than an hour (on average) because she wakes up fussy or farting! We’re still doing shifts and I’m lucky if she gets a 20 minute nap in at times in the day.

Anyone coming out the other end of the regression yet? I’m 2 weeks in hoping the end is near 🥴🥴😴

My lb is 7months and sleeps an easy 3hrs when he first goes down around 7:30 and self settles for this pretty easy. He always wakes for a bottle around 10:30 - 11 I’m finding after this it’s so hard to get him to settle back in his cot! Just wakes constantly.. sometimes just after 10mins - maximum 1 hour and won’...

I’m really struggling to sleep at the moment because I’m so anxious about accidentally sleeping on my back. I’m 27w5d so almost at 28w and it just feels like this big looming date of when I’ll harm my baby if I’m on my back. I keep waking up and I’m on my back and I don’t know how to stop it happening as I’m natural...

Hello, we were having ok day naps and not great bedtimes (screaming / wake ups etc). We started the Ferber sleep training for nighttime around 3 weeks ago and the transformation has been amazing from day 2 (with some hiccup nights but overall now sleeping through in big chunks) However day naps have become awful! I...

My little boy gets up at about 6 a lot of the time it’s earlier, he doesn’t sleep very good at all lots of wake ups. He’s ready for a nap around 9.30/10. This is his only nap. Is anyone else’s little one like this? Am I doing it all wrong x

My baby has recently started rolling to her front and then sitting up (and sometimes even trying to stand) when she is sleeping! Anyone else's babies doing this?

Hello, at what time are your babies having their nap? I’m trying to drop to one nap because my baby is refusing his second nap or sleeping only for 30min and waking up at 5 am every day. I’m exhausted but I’m struggling with only one nap because he’s tired very early at around 9-10am so his last wake window would be...

These past couple of weeks my lo has been waking up between 12 and 1 and stays up crying nonstop until I pick her up. I don’t know what to do to help her sleep. I’ve pushed her sleeping to at least 8-830 that way she sleeps longer but she still manages to wake back up. Last night was the only night she slept through...

My little one starts at the childminder in April. I have until then to teach self soothing and reduce /remove him needing breast to fall asleep. He's having 4 short naps at the moment, how many are your little ones having?

7 month old keeps waking up around 4am, she will be WIDE awake. We found change nappy and feed and rocking back to sleep gets her back for couple hours. How do I stop this? I can’t keep waking up for an hour middle of the night. For reference, she has 5 bottles and 2 solid feeds (brekkie and lunch). She has 3 naps...

Hi all, Just wondering what people’s nap schedules are for their 12 month olds? Are some of you down to just one nap a day? Thank you!

We’re going on holiday in May when our LO will be 19 months. He doesn’t have a separate sleep but one flight is when he should be asleep. Are there any products that we can take that would make a bit of a bed? I’ve seen the ones that go on the seat but not when the seat is shared with an adult.

Feels like we’re back to the newborn stage! My 18 week old won’t sleep anywhere but on me! Not in the next to me, not in the bed beside me, only ON ME! I’m shattered, I feel like we’ve been dealing with terrible sleep for weeks now 😭

My partner and I do sleep shifts with baby, I get 10-4 and he does 4-10 which works really well for us at the moment with her being 3 weeks but want to start looking at how I can start moving so we’re all sleeping together but I just find it really hard trying to sleep when she grunts and cries in her sleep as it al...
