sleep

My 8.5 month mainly only wants to sleep on me. She was an excellent sleeper and self-soother (on her own, nothing we did) until around 7 months when she dropped from 3 to 2 naps, started crawling etc. We recently took a long flight where she only slept on me and since then has wanted that to...

Y’all, it’s not our fault. This one goes out to everyone with babies who are more challenging sleepers. My little guy is almost 6 months old, and I am finally realizing that his sleep challenges aren’t my fault. I’m giving him hours of active time during the day, he gets plenty of outdoor time...

Our LO is just about 11 weeks old - his bedtime is still somewhat inconsistent but usually falls anywhere between 8-9:30. My husband and I have just decided that’s our bedtime too 😂 my husband wakes up at 5:15 for work so that was kind of always his bedtime - but I’m more of an 11pm person...

FTM here and nothing prepared me for the insane crying and lack of sleep. My LO is currently 7 weeks old and starting last week she just cannot be put down in her crib. She fights every single nap (we always give full feeds, do the EASY, room is optimised etc, watch wake windows). Cries the...

LO (3 months) has such a hard time with daytime naps. The slightest noise will startle him, it’s often hard for him to fall asleep and needs to be rocked for several minutes/constantly. During his first 6-8 weeks of life he was able to nap better but since then I feel like it’s so hard to get...

Hi everyone. I’m FTM and need some advice to reduce crying for my 3.5 months old before sleep. Here is what I’ve been doing and I’m unsure if I’m doing it right. At every day nap, she’d be crying a little like she’s fighting it, and then she’ll be quick asleep, like under 2mins crying. However...

My almost 1 year old son was a unicorn baby until 4 months old. He fell asleep anywhere, even on his own, and never had any long night wake ups, just woke up to nurse. When he turned 4 months old things changed and all of a sudden he had these 1 hour night wake ups. I thought this is just a...

Hi ! I thought I’d share an update on an issue I had with LO’s sleep in case someone might find it useful. I made this post about struggling with my 6 month old’s sleep https://www.reddit.com/r/AttachmentParenting/s/lWdYnJi3Yj We decided to do a week of testing different conditions to see what...

I saw a post from a while ago, but has anyone purchased her 0-18 month course? Is it worth it? My 7.5 month old is waking anywhere from 3-6+ times every single night. She sits herself up in her crib and then cries. 90% of the time I end up nursing her back to sleep.. her dad used to be able to...

Hey! So, our bubba sleeps in a beside bassinet. It's seperate from the bed but literally right up against it, which has worked really well as a breastfeeding mum. She is a fairly light sleeper, so I have to be extra careful when transitioning her into her sleeping space, and her being right next...

I have a 3.5 month old and he sleeps in his cot at night but we contact nap during the day because naps in his cot are very short (20-45mins) and he’s prone to overtiredness. I’m ok with it for now but it doesn’t feel sustainable long term (I’d like to be able to sleep too or do some stretching...

We are in week 7. Our LO’s sleep I feel I progressively getting worse (if that’s even possible). Prior to week 6, independent naps were about 40-50 minutes with an occasional 1.5-3 hour. Nights 3-3 hour stretches. Since week 6 we don’t know what the hell to expect when we put him down. We follow...

And it absolutely solidified my reasoning and belief that a baby should never, ever, be left alone to cry in a dark, unfamiliar room for hours. My nephew is about 20 months old. My SiL and her husband seem to be absolutely clueless on his cues with anything and would put him down to sleep when...

FTM here with a 5W LO and I think I’m slowly but surely realizing there is no rhyme or reason to these little humans! To some degree, yes, then need fed, changed, hugged, etc. but right when we think we “got in a good groove,” he said “fck this” and changes the tune! And I love to add...

Hi New Parents! I am about to be a new parent and figured this was a better question for this sub rather than BabyBumps. We registered for and received a Chicco Lullago Anywhere Bassinet. My question is about bassinet sheets - I've read I can't use standard ones (it's smaller - makes sense)...

Hi! I have a 7m LO and am super into gentle parenting, including sleep! She has been a terrible sleeper since birth and we bedshare + I breastfeed her every wake up, sometimes its hourly, sometimes every 2 h on a good night. I’m a big fan of heysleepybaby and absolutely agree with her on...

My 8.5 months old seems to be tired and extra sleepy for the past 2 days. She’s taking longer naps and even in between she’s not much energetic. She’s playing babbling everything but not like she used to and is also extra clingy. She still has no teeth and is showing all signs of teething but...

Hi parents. I come here with a very heavy heart. I have a 15-month-old boy. He has been a terrible sleeper since day 1. Dad and I were against sleep training from the start. We (LO and I) co-sleep at night and still breastfeed. But we are at the stage now where LO wakes up to 10 times per...

My son is a terrible napper. It’s usually 30 minutes. We’re lucky to get an hour here and there. Normally we wakes up between 530 and 630 to start the day. Yesterday he woke up at 730 - this hasn’t happened in god knows how long. I did the math in my head and 3 naps wouldn’t work - even at 30...

For some context: 0-4 months: swaddled. baby slept in Snoo overnight at the end of our bed and did contact naps or naps in the crib in a lounger. Got 2 hour stretches overnight until 3 months, and only 45 minute naps… then between 3-4 months, did one long stretch for first half then up every...
