Sleep - babies and toddlers

Any tips for encouraging a 6-month-old to eat more during the day and reduce night feeds? He used to drink 180ml per feed but now drinks less during the day and wakes at 10pm, 2am, and 5am for milk. He’s had a blocked nose for 2 weeks, but it has improved. Could he be teething? He used to skip 1

I am looking at mattress protectors for the cot and have a question about cotton vs waterproof options. From breathability point I am leaning towards cotton like this one https://www.dustmiteallergysolutions.com.au/products/100-cotton-allergy-eczema-cot-mattress-protector but then it's not waterproo

Hi all, We have just started to work on getting our little one to sleep in his cot rather than being get to sleep. It’s going well for the first week, however he seems to be waking himself up by waving his arms around like crazy and will only go back to sleep after we go in and help soothe him (wh

Hi all, seeking advice on this one. My 9 month old would previously wake up at 6:30-7am but recently just started waking up at 5:45am crying. He still sleeps all night and I don’t go into his room at all (thankful for that!) but I’ve resorted to picking him up out of his cot and contact napping him

My LO turned 1 in December and up until that point she was an amazing sleeper. All of a sudden, 1 week post her birthday we were met with a new demon baby 😂 She now fusses every time she is put in her cot. She cries, she stands up and cries some more. I have tried everything we have ever done be

So I have a 1 month old he prefers to tummy sleep during the day. He will sleep on his back at night as I don’t feel comfortable with him tummy sleeping at night. What do you do for them when they want to tummy sleep and night and you feel more comfortable with it to be able to sleep at night.

My 5 month old daughter is constantly kicking her blankets off. But that, I mean she'll get her feet in a loose bit of the sheets and push herself up the cot and kicking all of her blankets off in the process.I'm having to go and pull her down and tuck her in every 2-5 minutes and then she's wide aw

My baby is almost 7 months old. I feel like she almost has no routine. She had allergie to cow’s milk protein, reflux, constipation every now and then… naps are short unless she’s sleeping in our arms… I see people who feed their babies at specific hours and we really don’t have that 🤣 anyone else

My toddler (nearly 3) has night terrors and also sometimes just constantly calls out upset during the night so I know he isn’t sleeping well (it’s 3.30 am now and he’s been off and on since 7pm). I have a baby as well and I am beyond exhausted I do not get any sleep - literally 0 and it is starting

Hello. My little one is 4months old and I am planning on going to Masada with him (when he is 5/6 months old) as he has never been a good sleeper and prefers to sleep on me day and night which I can’t do any longer. I am a solo mum by choice and I worry that I won’t be able to keep up the Masada pat

I feel like I might just need a space to vent but I'm having trouble at the moment. My almost 4 month old doesn't like to sleep during the day... and I mean she loves a 10-18 minute nap and sometimes manages a 28 minute nap. I know it's all very age appropriate to cat nap but I'm really starting to

Hi all. My bub is almost 6mo. I want to teach her how to self settle and go to sleep in her own. Lately I’ve been putting her down in her cot awake and giving her a chance to do it herself. Sometimes she does it on her own. Most of the time she doesn’t. If she gets upset I go and pick her up and cud

Bubs used to be a good sleeper but at 6 months she's changed. For the last 2-3 weeks, she sleeps a total of 13 hours on a good day. Other days she averages 11+ or 12 hours.  It usually means she takes 2 naps a day at 30 minutes each nap. At night she wakes up once to feed and can sometimes stay awa

Hi every one this is my first post. My baby is 7 weeks old, he use to sleep most of the day but today and yesterday he has not slept at all during the day. He feeds and will fall asleep on me and the second I move him he is awake again. I’ve managed to get him into his bassinet and wrapped up twice

DD is a good napper during the day. She usually wakes up at about 6am and takes 3 naps throughout the day. Her naps usually add up to about 3.5 hours, (1.5 + 1.5 + 0.5, could be in any order). She is able to self soothe. She is usually due to go down for the night at 7:30pm. Bed time is always a pr

Hello all, Does anyone know how to remove the fabric parts of the bassinet so I can wash them? Thank you! 

Hi, Has anyone been to NorthPark sleep school? I am exhausted and this can’t carry on like this. Bub is on me all day. His sleep is okay, but not great. We’ve exhausted all means and bub just won’t sleep in his own bed in the day. I dread days as much as I dread nights as it’s relentless. I heard

Struggling with my 1yo and the dreaded school pick up. She takes too long to go to sleep for her 2nd nap of the day so by the time she's asleep I have to wake her to pick up kids from school. Its so frustrating. Most info says to keep the 2 naps for as long as possible but with pick up its so hard.

How do you mamas do it?! I'm struggling with bed time with 3 kids when it's just me home - a 9yo, 3yo and 3mo.

I’m slowly transitioning my LO to 1 nap. Wondering what time does your LO sleep and for how long if they are on 1 nap? Mine wakes at 7am and she’s usually tired at 10/1030am but I feel that’s too early for 1 big nap?? 

Hi guys, we have recently moved my 15 month old into his own room. I can’t get him to sleep in the cot. I’ve tried putting him awake but drowsy, letting him cry it out, having a set routine, but as soon as I put him in the cot he becomes hysterical. I’m not sure what to do next? now I’m sleeping on

Hi everyone, My daughter is 21 months and in the last 2 weeks has started waking up at least twice a night, screaming and takes a long time to re-settle. It sounds similar to night terrors but when she wakes up, she's responsive and unsure of what she wants and wants us to walk around the house w

I am wondering if anyone has been in a similar situation and has advice: My 8mo sleeps perfectly when co sleeping next to me in our bed at night (she sleeps perfectly and wakes only twice for a feed). However, when I put her in her cot (which she can sleep for 2hours straight fine during the day

Hi, My 12 month old son wakes every hour or so during the night and I constantly have to get up and put him on the boob to get him to settle and fall back to sleep. Sometimes he just lets out a cry and then goes back to sleep or will fart and then fall asleep. I haven't had him tested for any intol
