sleep

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...

For example, my 17 month old goes to bed between 8:30-9, typically sleeps through the night, wakes up at 6am on the dot regardless off bedtime, naps around 11am for 1.5-2 hours. I know all kids are different with their sleep needs but I’m curious what everyone else’s young toddlers sleep looks...

Our sleep training went quite smoothly, so much so, we didn’t have to do much other than give him the opportunity to resettle himself and he did and it was a blessing. Now we’re, I’m assuming, at a point where he’s going to transition to one nap and the wake ups are a steady 5 am daily… also...

My baby is 9 months old. I’ve read the safe sleep 7 and bedshare with him every night. At what age is it safe for babies to sleep with an overnight caregiver who’s not the parent(e.g., grandma, aunt, friend)? He’s walking already and I honestly feel ok if they wanted to bedshare with him to make...

I have a 23 month old and a 3 week old. My 23 month old has never been a “good” sleeper, but we always made it work. I coslept with her in her room for a while, but during my pregnancy we transitioned her to a floor bed bc I knew I couldn’t cosleep with her while having a newborn. She did pretty...

My 11 month old has been taking two 20-30 minute naps a day at daycare the past month. She used to do two hour long naps, now we can only get her to do that on the weekends if we contact nap which we don’t mind, but even then sometimes only 45 minutes and worry about her daycare days. I’m really...

Hi! How are your 6-7 month olds sleeping? This is my second baby and I forget how my first was at this age so need a gut check to not feel like we are on an island or we are doing something wrong with his sleep. My LO is 6.5 months, spends the first few hrs of the night in his bed but then...

Hello! I’d be interested to hear from Mums who breastfed past 6 months about what sort of frequency of night feeding you saw from your little one around 6 months onwards. Extra details on whether you’re bedsharing, room sharing or in separate rooms would also be v interesting. Also curious to...

I’m drowning without consistent sleep. My 9mo wakes 2 times on a rare good night and 4+ times other nights so an most night I sleep 9:30-12:30, 1-3, 3:30-5, 5:30-7. He nurses back to sleep easily most nights and we often cosleep from 5-7. I don’t want to sleep train. But I’m also not sure I...

FTM, baby is almost 4 months. She’s outgrowing the reflux period, so I’m able to lay her down sooner after feeds (Yayyy to sleeping more) Wondering if other breastfeeding mamas are burping their LO after sleep feeds? I can usually get away with a quick over-the-shoulder burping session, as long...

Link to original post: https://www.reddit.com/r/NewParents/s/kNoGmcN6bI Given the outpouring of support, advice and occasional message telling me that my wife and I are monsters/scum/high wired for allowing our LO to cry for ages, I thought a follow up post was warranted. Disclaimer, again...

FTM here. My 8 month old has always been a “good sleeper.” Since he was 6 weeks old, he would sleep 7 pm - 3/4 am, nurse, then go back to sleep until 7 am. He did this naturally and this was our “normal” until 4 weeks ago. He suddenly is waking up 4-6 times a night and nursing at least 3 of...

Our son is just over 4 months old and sleeps 12 hours a day in total. Paediatrician says this is fine, some babies just need shorter sleep amounts. It's 10 hours at night (which will be with a wake & feed - so either 6+4, 7+3, 8+2, 9+1 - but always works out to 10 hours strangely) then 4 x 30...

Hi all. I've been a lurker on this sub reddit for some time. I'm a FTM to a beautiful 8 month old baby boy (he will be 9 months on May 26). He was a wonderful sleeper as a newborn. I thought we had a unicorn. Then, the 4 and 6 month regression hit hard ans aligned perfectly with his...

My baby simply won’t sleep for more then 45 minutes in her crib. I’m so tired. I’m at the point of feeling frustrated with the situation. It’s been months. I take care of baby on my own all night and all day, maybe on the weekend her dad will take her for a couple hours. I’m just so tired. I...

So this is my 2nd. I was able to put my 1st down drowsey but awake. I don't remember when I started with her. I wish I kept better inventory in my head of things. She also slept through the night but I also don't remember when, but it was before the 4 mo sleep regression. My 2nd (10 weeks this...
