Anyone else's babe cry for long periods at night? Around the same time my baby cries about 7pm every night without fail. I've tried everything and although she does have gut issues, in my heart I don't think that's what is upsetting her. She's absolutely fine all day until bed time then cries for a few hours until s...

How and when did everyone transition baby from arms in to arms out when swaddling at night time? Thanks!

Is it killing anyone else?! My boy is now waking at 4/5am every morning & currently wide awake when normal bedtime is usually 7pm. We had cracked his sleep for about a month of sleeping through… now this! I need to know it ends!

My baby is finding it harder and harder to stay asleep in his next to me once transferred. I’m ending up having to sleep with him on my chest which is quite anxiety inducing so not getting a great sleep myself. How do I fix this so he sleeps in next to me? He’ll be 2 months on Wednesday. He’s 8.5 weeks currently

My son has been rocked to sleep (or some sort of movement) pretty much since birth and it works for us. He sleeps 12 hours overnight and has 2 naps. Rocking him to sleep literally takes under 3 minutes. He started going to nursery 2 days a week and his nursery room leader has said they don’t rock kids to sleep, ins...

For those who co-sleep with their babies from the start, when did you move them to their own room without much of a problem? My girl will be 2 years old in June this year and I am planning to put her in own room on bed. She sleeps okay till 12-1 in the night but I need to sleep with her later as she keeps waking u...

If you have toddler bed/single bed for toddler, do you have stair gate on top of stairs or at their bedroom door or none at all? I’m scared incase she wakes in night and tries to go downstairs in the dark. Hoping to transition out of cot. Thanks

So for background. My daughter will be 10 months this week. From 10 weeks old she has slept through in her own bedroom. The past four nights, once she is placed into her cot for bedtime she cries. Well as soon as she goes into the room, it’s like she knows and starts crying. I’ve done the whole putting her back do...

My LB goes nuts during nappy changes. Usually cries and tries to roll over.. it’s been 10 months I thought he would understand nappy change time now? Is this normal at this age? Anyone have any tips? I usually do try to give him something in his hands, doesn’t always work. Eventually I want him to understand nappy c...

My son is 17 months and has never slept well. I co sleep with him and he wakes up every hour or two. I can’t leave his side all night even to go to the bathroom. I have to take him with me if I need to go, literally. I can’t even change or wash my face before bed. He wakes up at 5:30am. He has a nighttime routine an...

What works for your little ones to help them with cough please? I’ve tried everything now, baby vapour products like rub, bath bubbles, oil, candle, plug in, olbas oil, humidifier in the room, oil diffuser in the room, elevating the head during sleep. It’s mainly during the sleep time, my little girl has terrible...

My babe is 13months and her sleep isn’t great so would really like a couple nights off a week but also don’t want her to leave me as I still think she’s so young and needs me to be there when she wakes. We have a great co parenting relationship, and remain friends, I’ve stayed at my parents a few times and he’s stay...

Hello, my LO is just over 6 months. I'm an incredibly light sleeper and wake up almost hourly throughout the night with any small noise, even when LO doesn't need anything. When she's left alone with heavier sleepers like my husband or parents, they seem to have a great night and say LO slept straight through. I'm ...

My baby is 10 weeks old and I’m having a hard time with naps during the day. Up until this point I’ve been following his lead on when he wants to sleep etc. but he’s been refusing sleep during the day which leads to horrible nights. I try to my best to put him to nap but he’s just stares at me eyes wide open for hou...

I just need some reassurance before I have a little cry! Is anyone else experiencing awful bedtimes and nap times? I don’t know if it’s separation anxiety but my LG cries the second you leave her and going back up to her doesn’t help as she just wants to get out of the cot 😩 We’ve ended up on the sofa a few…

My little girl is now just over 6 months. She’s EBF and I’ve noticed she’s stopped feeding as frequently and as much, and doesn’t feed to sleep anymore. She’s would usually feed to sleep for naps and bedtime but now she feeds, fusses for a bit and will either unlatch and fall asleep slowly in my arms or need rocking...

Has anyone experienced their baby suddenly waking earlier than usual? My little girl (6 months on Monday) has woken between 7-8am (7-7.30pm bedtime consistently) for a good couple of months now. The last week she’s started waking at 6am. Nothing else has changed with her routine. I know 6am is considered a ‘normal’ ...

So my little girl has a chesty cough and has been struggling with sleep a bit. Last night she woke up quite wheezy until we picked her up and she cleared the phlegm out. A ‘helpful family member’ today has suggested she needs to sleep on her side otherwise it’ll all settle in her chest. I’m absolutely not going to...

I hate my baby's sleep. Since he was born he slept regularly but since he turned three months old, it's been a constant fight against sleep. Despite showing signs of sleepiness and having passed his window, he wants to stay awake, he cries and fights when we try to put him to sleep and I'm already EXHAUSTED, I'm fed...
