Community Posts, Tips & Support on Baby Sleep

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...

Based on posts I see here I feel like the only person who doesn't intentionally put their baby for naps. She sleeps in the pram when we're out and goes down in the house when she's tired but she never ever naps in her moses basket or cot or anything and there's no set times. She still gets 4-5 hours a day (sometimes...

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...

When did you put your baby in to toddler bed my 15 month hates her cot so much and I’m thinking about buying her one but dunno if she to young yet! Xx

What are you putting your babies to sleep in for daytime naps? We did have the newborn Tripp Trapp but she was getting a bit big for that but now don’t know what to use instead?

Pros and cons: Mid sleeper could be used for toys to be stored underneath. High sleeper could provide space for a desk, tv etc underneath but is this likely to last for years to come or will he outgrow before he's a teenager? Normal bed - not much space for things other than a few drawers built into bed but could ...

I’ve worked really hard to get my little one into a routine. I was wondering how many of you will stray from routine e.g. go out for tea and keep your little one up past bed time for a special occasion or is bedtime sacred?

My daughter very much still needs a nap but I really don’t want to fight with her anymore about it , she very rarely will nap at school anymore and at home she use to nap most weekends but it’s a fight to get her to most of the time . I’m always at a loss what to do bc sometimes we try and it’s easy , but most of t...

We travel to stay at my in laws house every other month, we have recently started doing this, the drive there is 1hr and 30 minutes. We usually plan the journey so he has been fed and should fall asleep and I usually sit at the back and watch him. Honestly the last couple journeys have been horrendous, I dont even w...

I’m really struggling at the moment 😭 my 2 year old isn’t sleeping properly and only sleeping around 1.5-3 hours then awake forever 😭 my house is a complete mess, toys and clothes everywhere, kitchen is full of dishes and pulled out boxes of food etc. I just don’t know where to start to get it clean and…

First time in nearly 5months our little boy is with his nana for the night so we can get some sleep as it’s been a touch couple of weeks. But now feeling mega mum guilt and want to go and pick him up already. Anyone else tried a night off yet? Mixed emotions right now.

I’m not sure when to start a proper bedtime routine? I already do the last feed in bed and then she goes in the next to me but not until about 9/10pm. What do others do? :)

I cannot wait to get my lg into her room, I’m not one to be touched at all whilst sleeping i absolutely hate it, my lg is a very light sleeper and when i move her she jumps straight back onto me and has me in the worst uncomfortable positions (has to be touching at all times and only with me, not her dad or anyone e...

Any other mamas just get straight to building furniture and measuring for stuff without waiting for partners to be available to do it? Or a we making them do all of it?

Does this need plugging in constantly to work or does it just need recharging when the battery gets low?

Safe to say my LO is keeping me on my toes this week!! Not only has he started crawling properly, but I've tried to put him down for a nap this afternoon and could hear him chattering away on the monitor. Left him for a bit to see if he'd fall asleep. 5-10 minutes later I just happened to check the camera and he'...

Anyone else's seem to have gone down to 1 nap a day of their own accord? My LO was having 2 naps a day for the past 4 weeks or so. Would wake up at 6am, first nap around 9am for 2.5 hours, then 2nd nap around 2.30pm, for 1.5 hours. Then bed at around 6.30/7pm. Yesterday he woke up at 8am but then didn't want a nap...

My baby is 1 week old today and I have been mainly breast feeding him but he just doesn’t sleep. If I manage to get him to settle in his Moses basket he wakes up 45 minutes later rooting and crying. The only time he’s slept longer than one hour is in my arms (I stay awake) or when my partner gives him some formula ,...

When do you put your baby to bed and leave them alone without being in the room with them? My daughter is 12 weeks and I can’t put her down to sleep at 9 without going to bed with her as I feel terrified of SIDS! So I end up going up with her and missing my evenings with my husband as I don’t want to learn her alone...

Everytime my stepson comes over he throws the whole routine amd schedule out the window. I usually don't wake my 1 year old up till 8 or 9 but when he is here she is awake at 5 which means I'm awake at fu@#*ng 5, all because he wants to turn on every single light in the house. He is scard of the dark and we have all...
