    Worried about my 5mo sleeping on belly while we cosleep

    Hi! First time mom with a 5mo! We have been cosleeping the fast few months and love it! However last night he scared the hell out of me because I had woken up to him sleeping on his belly, scared me because 1. I did not feel him move to do so as he would usually fuss n squirm around which would...

    What the F just happened

    So a little lead up. 7 mo We haven't done any sleep training. I have tried getting baby to fall asleep on his own and it's worked a couple of times. If Im home we mostly nurse to sleep or my husband bounces him on the yoga ball to sleep. And we co sleep at night. He mostly does all of his naps...

    Question around social situations

    I find myself struggling on having friends over because if they stay past when my baby (8 months) goes to sleep I’m not sure what to do. My baby and I go to bed at the same time. I am able to roll away once he’s asleep but we are on an actual bed and I’m afraid if he wakes up, that he’ll try and...

    Pediatrician said baby sleep is abnormal

    I have a 6 month old who has never been a great sleeper. I work full time (so does Dad) so he has been in daycare for the last two months. Naps vary there but aren’t always super great. His last nap usually ends around 2:15pm. By the time we pick him up, get him home, he’s ready to go to...

    Bedsharing Question

    Hi, I have 5 month old who I’ve been bedsharing with since they were about 2 weeks old. Also, 95% of their naps are contact naps. I am slowly working on transitioning naps to being in the pack n play/crib and eventually will start to work on nighttime being in the bassinet/crib. I don’t want to...

    My baby can’t sleep without my nipple in her mouth and I’m losing my sanity

    Her sleep was very manageable - pack n play next to our bed with 1 or 2 nightly wakeups, and then at 6am or so I’d move her to the bed with me for the final few hours. Then we took a month long trip to my in-laws in another state and she could NOT sleep there. We had to fall asleep next to her...

    6mo hasn’t slept longer than 1.5 - 2 hour blocks overnight for 8 weeks

    I am honestly not coping. My PP rage is out of control and I wake up most mornings crying out of desperation for more sleep. We travelled 8 weeks ago with him and we were away for 6 weeks in my home country and kept a normal routine, but since around the time we left his sleep has been f**ked...

    Baby cannot connect cycles

    Hi everyone! We cosleep and contact nap with my 6 mo boy. We nurse him to sleep and he sleeps 3-4 hours in 3-4 naps every day. Unfortunately, he cannot connect cycles, so if I want him to sleep more than 20-30 min, I need to do contact naps and nurse every 30 min. I love the snuggles but I...

    My child is allowed to need me at night

    (Vent.) I'm going through a rough patch with my daughter's sleep. I briefly mentioned it at a parents' group and a dad lectured me about good ol' CIO and how he trained his kids to sleep 7-7 and 2x 2 hour naps a day. Just close the door and don't go in until the time is up. It's that easy...

    transitioning to crib

    any advice on transitioning my 6 month old to her crib? she’s always slept with me, and my husband has slept in another bed as we have different sleep schedules (he’s a fisherman and gets up at 3 am for work everyday and goes to bed at 8 pm) but we’re missing sleeping in the same bed and she...

    Dressing baby with fever

    Our whole house has been hit with covid including my cosleeping 9 month old. Today is his first day with noticeable symptoms. At 1:00pm his temp was 38.6°c and he was miserable so we gave some tylenol and it went down to 36.4°c. It's now 4:30pm and his temp went back up to 37.4°c. Typically I...

    Husband + cosleeping. Help.

    Most of the week, I cosleep in our spare room with my 9 month old. She’s not a great sleeper and still wakes every 3ish hours at night to nurse. My husband is very sweet and often talks about missing having me in our shared bed, so we’re doing shared bed on the weekends when we can both afford...

    How long of sleep stretches are you actually getting?

    Hello! My LO is 7 months and wakes every sleep cycle for boob. If he doesn’t get it, he cries. The odd time I will pick him up and rock him back to sleep. Either way, I’m exhausted and even with cosleeping I’m hardly getting any sleep. It was like this since his 4 month regression for about 10...

    I created a dependency I’m not fond of…what do I do?

    My baby (5mo) got his first cold. And then I got sick immediately after. Prior to this he was a good sleeper. I could lay him down for naps after walking and humming him to sleep and walk away. Sometimes I’d have to nurse him to sleep, he’d detach and then I’d lay him down, he’d resettle and...

    False starts and cosleeping!!

    Hey y’all! We’ve been cosleeping since baby refused the bassinet at 2 months old. Sleep has never been amazing but when LO’s 4 month regression hit it was brutal and we went from 2-4 wakings per night to hourly wakings for 10+ weeks. He’s almost 7 months old and since about the 6 months mark...

    7 month old won’t sleep alone

    I know it’s my own doing, and I know the dangers of co-sleeping. I initially had the Snoo which worked for 4 months when we went overseas to meet her dad, time difference etc threw everything off. She slept on a mattress on the floor next to me, waking countless times needing to be cuddled back...

    5.5 month struggling with daycare

    Hi all - we started a daycare transition period for my LO last week and it’s been touch and go. He has been EBF, contact naps and co-sleeps since he was born, so he is very attached. We are starting super slowly with a few hours and trying to work up to one nap there. He’s been great when it...

    When will Americans finally not care that I cosleep?

    My LO is 5 months. At bedtime I put him in his crib because I stay up a few hours later than him. When I go to sleep, I sleep on a floor bed in the nursery. In the morning he usually wakes up around 5am and falls asleep while nursing in our floor bed. I then either transfer him back to the crib...

    I need stories of your kiddos moving to their own sleep space

    My LO is 2 months and we bedshare out of desperation. And contact nap. I keep hearing “so and so slept with their kids and they were in their bed until they were 10” I can tell you I do not want that (fine if you do, I don’t). I love sleeping with my LO for the convenience factor, she sleeps so...

    10m baby can't sleep without being rocked

    My baby always needs for the overnight sleep to be rocked in someone's arms. Sometimes it works to bounce on the yoga balls, sometimes she wants to be walked around. For the day naps she falls asleep while cosleeping fairly easy (sometimes she needs to be held in my arms but without rocking or...
