sleep

Just wanted to share my current situation for those who can relate or are looking for solutions. It’s been a long journey. The main problem for context: even with bed sharing I rarely get a 3 hour stretch of sleep. Going on 13 months of sleep deprivation and my mental health is tenuous. The...

She used to sleep beside us in her pack n play. But now at almost 8 months she screams if I try to put her into it. I always try because I prefer she sleeps in there. But by midnight the past two weeks she’s in our bed for the night (used to be 5 am). Maybe it’s the 8 month regression, I...

Since month 5.5 our son has been waking every 1-1.5hrs at night. We do the whole routine of bath, milk, pjs, and rock/feed in the chair with bottle to sleep and then transfer and his wake windows are perfect because his naps have significantly improved at the 6.5month mark.. But only NOW is he...

Hi! Thought I’d come here because all the advice I’m getting is all sleep training/CIO related and I don’t want to do that. My 10 month old sleeps with me in the guest room in a pack n play. We did this because I wasnt ready to stop room-sharing but my husband’s early morning alarm was waking...

My 3-month-old baby started stretching the first sleep at night to 4-4.5 hours. This happened around 5 weeks old and was a big relief. However, after this initial stretch, he wakes up almost every hour and sometimes it is difficulty to make him fall back to sleep. Any tips on what can be done...

My baby has a hard time staying asleep at night. When it gets dark he cries more and he wants his pacifier more. If his pacifier comes out he cries until l put it back in and then the cycle continues, should l let him cry it out until he sleeps. Sometimes he just stays up looking at me and...

My 7.5 week old has been pretty good w naps so far. So good that in the beginning (first 3 weeks), she would even nap up to 5 hrs and I thought I hit the lottery..until week 4 where she started to cluster feed from midnight to early morning and I realized that her day and night was switched...

My friend just said to me that her baby sleeps through the night with 2 night feeds. To me, sleeping through the night is not waking for a feed during their “bedtime” hours e.g. 7.30pm-7am What’s your definition of sleeping through the night?

Help!! My baby won’t stop rotating in her crib. I’ve searched high and low and it seems the general consensus is either A.) She will stop when she starts rolling or B.) It’s a phase and will only last a few weeks She is 17 weeks old and has been doing this since she was 8 weeks old. She...

He’s never done this before. He’s woken up to eat and back to sleep for 2-3 hours all day. He’s already a big boy for his age. No signs of sickness.. what’s going on? He’s usually up most of the day/short naps.

Really struggling with how to get some help with my baby’s sleep that doesn’t include any level of CIO/sleep training. I feel strongly that it’s a schedule issue that I just can’t figure out and looking for advice! Some background on baby- 8 months old fomo baby, has always been a cat napper...

I’m having a weird issue with my 8 week old daughter (will be 2 months on Tuesday). She sleeps swaddled in her crib with white noise. I sleep on a mat next to her crib. She’s doing GREAT overnight. I’m getting two 4-5 hour stretches out of her. I’m getting good at knowing when she’s waking to...

Pretty desperate and can’t figure out something our 5 w/o is doing. He’s done this since about week 2. He’ll be giving sleepy cues at bedtime. We go through the bathe, feed, cuddle, swaddle part. 3 or 4 nights out of 7, he goes down sleepy but awake, then starts doing gymnastics in his swaddle...

Feel like I’m slightly screaming into the void here but my 10 week old baby won’t sleep in his cot at night and I’m starting to go stir crazy. He does fairly decent chunks of sleep overnight (two of about 3/4 hours each) but only if cosleeping. When he was younger this was easier (I mean I...

Hey fellow mums and moms. A desperate rant and question about terrible toddler sleep. Thank you in advance. My incredible girl is 18 months old. She’s never been great at sleeping. I breastfed on demand at night and co slept since she was about 4 months. It was ROUGH. Eventually, around the...

I’ve been sleeping in the spare room and doing the night feeds because my husband operates heavy machinery at a sawmill and I’d rather him not be tired and make a careless/sleepy mistake at work. I truly don’t mind it, he picks up the slack when he’s home and does most of the nights during the...

I think my newborn has FOMO? He just does not seem to nap. Wondering if it’s just his personality or if I’m doing something wrong? Typical flow of the day is he wakes for the day around 6:30-7:00. As soon as he wakes up, he wants to eat. BF and then he’s awake. No nap. Wants to eat again...

It feels like everyone in my bumper group sleep trains but it also seems like they are constantly having to retrain their babies after every “regression”, illness, teething spell, etc. Parents are told “it’ll be rough for a week but you’ll never look back” and it’s often just not true. But by...

My 7 week old is doing great. He was 8 lbs 6 oz when he was born and he’s currently 10 lbs 9 oz (26th percentile). He’s drinking 3-3.5 oz every 3-4 hours (bottle feeding exclusively breast milk). So he’s essentially feeding 6-7 times a day and probably getting between 18-24 oz a day. He doesn’t...
