sleep

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...

LO got her 4 month shots yesterday morning at 9am. She took super long naps yesterday (very unlike her) and slept 12.5 hours at night (this part is kind of normal). She’s usually a great night sleeper and terrible napper. Today, she seems so tired and her first nap which is usually 30-40...

My 4.5 month old has always been a decent but chaotic sleeper. Just recently though, every day she has started acting super tired around 5:30 pm. It takes everything I’ve got to get her to not freak out from being overtired before 6 pm when I feel like it’s normal to start a bedtime routine...
