    11 week old kicking and squirming

    Iā€™ve been co sleeping with my 11 week old pretty much since birth and we were all sleeping quite well (about 2 wake ups on average each night) until recently. I used to sleep through his active sleeping most of the time but recently, as heā€™s gotten bigger, this has been hard work. Heā€™s a big...

    Help! 8 month old suddenly canā€™t sleep unless heā€™s in my arms

    We have coslept since pretty much day 1 from the hospital. Typically I can put him down and heā€™ll sleep for 1-3 hours without waking up. Then I join him in bed and when he wakes, Iā€™ll pop a boob in while Iā€™m still laying down and heā€™ll eat and then go back to sleep. Lately (past week or so)...

    How to manage baby thrusting self in every direction??

    My baby is 9 months old and has recently starting aggressively falling backwards to get himself to sleep. Iā€™ve always let him self-soothe (in addition to nursing) to get himself to sleep. Heā€™s always been able to either nurse to sleep or shake his head to fall asleep. However, now that heā€™s more...

    Going on a cruise with a cosleeper

    Bub is 7 months (will be 8mo on cruise), and just started co-sleeping maybe coming into 3 weeks now, and after hourly waking since 4mo regression, I'm finally getting some sleep. Currently, she sleeps like a log, no rolling and Dad is in a separate room, just for extra safety and space. Our...

    Will a few nights of bedsharing get my 7.5-month-old hooked?

    Our baby loves his crib, so weā€™ve never felt the need to cosleep. This week, however, weā€™re doing some work on the nursery. Baby is set to share our room for at least the next three nights. We tried using the pack and play last night, and he hated it (I donā€™t blame him. It looks uncomfortable...

    Close call this morning but canā€™t figure out how

    I had a very close suffocation call this morning but have been racking my brain trying to figure out how it happened. My son is 9wks, he mostly sleeps in the crib at night but we will cosleep in the very early hours of the morning. We are following all safe sleep 7 guidelinesā€”I nurse him, we...

    I am severely sleep deprived

    My baby is 4mo now and since heā€™s been born, Iā€™ve been doing all nights. Even before he was born, Iā€™d say I was already sleep deprived while pregnant because I was HUGE. Since I was doing all his nights it didnā€™t take long for me to ditch the bassinet, and we currently bedshare (if youā€™re going...

    Cosleeping and babysitting?

    For parents that cosleep, how do you go out without your little one? Our baby is 8 months old and weā€™ve only ever coslept for naps and longer stretches of sleep. Sheā€™ll stay sometimes if I get up at the right time but usually sheā€™ll wake pretty soon after. Weā€™ve never left her with anyone else...

    Co sleeping isnā€™t working. Nothing is working

    I donā€™t know what to do. Nothing works to keep my baby asleep except in my arms. My back is killing me, my arms are killing me. We have tried every tip and trick I can find on the internet and in these subreddits. Falling asleep is the easy part, he just wonā€™t stay that way. He keeps waking up...

    Baby is waking up every 30 minutes at night

    I cosleep with my 9 month old breastfed baby. When we first started cosleeping it was a lifesaver, she would sleep 6+ hours at night without waking up. It was almost concerning. Over time she has started waking up more and more, usually 6+ times a night. This week, however, she has been waking...

    Feeding question

    How to you switch breasts at night with cosleeping and feeding? Does everyone just have a ā€œnight timeā€ boob? šŸ˜‚ my LO sleeps on my left side so I would feed her in side lying in the L, but I donā€™t feel comfortable switching our positions because my partner is also in the bed and that would put...

    Husband wants to stop cosleeping and let baby CIO

    Our baby has had a tough time sleeping since she exited the womb nine months ago (8mo corrected age). I finally got her into a good nap schedule last month. On a good day, her schedule is approximately 2.75/3/3.5 with two naps ranging from 1 hr to 1.5 hr (between 2-3 hrs of daytime rest). Her...

    Infant sleep

    Hi all, I am a mum of a 4 month old and have been bed sharing for a month and a half. We have a queen bed that is on the ground, I do have my own pillow and blanket and have that wrapped fully around me. My baby doesn't really move right now, like no rolling at night yet so haven't really been...

    Celebration! šŸŽ‰

    TLDR: My contact-napping, bedsharing 5-month-old got 5+ hours of independent sleep on his floor bed, no sleep training needed! It's 1 a.m. and there is no one else up to share my excitement, so I figured I would post it here. Hopefully someone will find it encouraging! We parent with a mix of...

    Calling all Velcro baby mamas

    My baby hasnā€™t been able to sleep in a bassinet or crib since he was born. I have contact napped and coslept for 4 months. For the first three, I could just put him to sleep at 8 or 9 pm either by nursing or rocking on a yoga ball. I did this in our living room and would hang out on the couch...

    Decreasing number of night feeds while cosleeping

    Hi! My baby is 6 months and weā€™ve been cosleeping on and off since she was a few weeks old but consistently for the past two months. From 3-4 months she did fairly well in her bassinet next to the bed, eating 0-2 times between 10 and 6 the average night. Since sheā€™s been back in bed with me...

    Do you tell your pediatrician youā€™re bedsharing ?

    We came back from our two-month appointment earlier today and everytime we go see our pediatrician, we get asked if our daughter is still sleeping on her back, in her own crib ( which she did for a total of 2 nights since birth lol)ā€¦ To which, I completely fucking lie and say ā€œyesā€ while my...
