Mummies do you have a bedtime routine or just go with the flow. My LO sleeps longer day time 4 hours at a time and has 5oz. When it comes to around 9 10ish pm she sleeps 1/2 to 2 hours at a time and has 2oz. 😒😑😔I'm exhausted any suggestions

Dylan always used to be wide awake after a bath but now I bath about 8, bottle straight after and sleeping by 10 and sleeps until atleast 6 xxxx

We do bath bottle and bed between 6 and 7 every night and sticking to that has really helped. Gradually my little girl just started missing out feeds and last night slept from 7pm - 6am. We found that when we stared putting her down upstairs (still in our room) and putting on the baby monitors she slept much better. Good luck it's awful having broken sleep xx

It's so hard to try get him to do something they don't want to even more so when they so little! It's the broken sleep i find the hardest during the day I'm ok but when I wake up every 2 hours sometimes less sometimes more with him im so tired I've fallen asleep feeding him and woke. Up hours later with him still on me 🙈😩 I'm even more tired as I breastfeed exclusively in the night time so to solely me feeding and I'm shattered xx

@baby316, no she wakes up herself around every 2 3hours. @holliesinead sigh I tried settling her around 6pm bath relax have a bottle and bed. That only worked for a few days now she sleeps from 5til 9. I try bath her around that time but then she's wide awake now I just bath her when we wake up. 😓😓

During day I go with the flow and let him sleep as much or little as he wants but around 6 we start settling down sometimes with a bottle then bath and white noise around 7/8 with his creams so he used to the smell and knows it's bedtime coming up then he has a 5oz bottle and I breastfeed him after and he's usually down by 9 latest and then sleeps until 1ish then after that he's up every 2 hours for a feed until the early morning then me and him usually sleep until 10/11 it's hard to get them into a routine that's why i just try keep evenings the same as possible so as he gets older he'll get used to it but the day time I don't mind as every day is different and were out and about etc xx
Do you wake her during the night to feed her? If so maybe leave her until she wakes up herself therefore she was start getting into a pattern of sleeping longer therefore giving you more sleep too xx

@baby316, I just let her sleep when she wants to really. @sara-lou she's 7 weeks. Her dad wakes her up for the 10pm feed and back to sleep.

How old is your lo? I was quite laid back with my 1st especially the 1st 6months or so. The only thing I did do is wake him for feeds during the day as he would sleep for hours & hours. I'm not sure if thats something people would recommend you to do, but it worked for me 😊 I never woke him at night time. I didn't really start a bedtime routine until he was a bit older, maybe 7/8months. He naturally fell into a routine.
I just go with the flow as I find routines tiring as they don't always work. That's my personal experience anyway. What do you do for your little one at the moment? Xx
8 sleeps till C-Section day...where has the time gone!
#momlifechats Moms, Welcome to #momlifechats! We’re so excited to welcome Infant & Child Sleep Consultant Hailee Schollaardt (@nurturingsleepsolutions). Hailee has been a Certified Sleep Consultant for 3.5 years. She has 3 kids aged 4.5 years, 2.5 years and 6 months and knows all too well the difficulties of a non-sleeping baby. “My first baby was 11 months old before he slept his first 2 hour stretch (It was a wednesday) and since then I became obsessed with learning about sleep!” Hailee classifies herself as more of a gentle sleep coach and encourages parents to do what works best for their own family. “Always advocate for your family and your baby! After all, you know them best!” She has worked with many families and loves providing tools to help improve sleep for every family she meets. Healthy Sleep equals Happy Families! Hailee’s top 3 sleep tips: 1.) Create a baby cave! The body is cued by light levels and so darkness in the room environment is so important. We want that room to be pitch black if we can. This helps newborns feel at home (in the womb) and it help’s older babies produce sleep hormones. 2.) Use white noise. This is my “must have” in any sleep space. It helps newborns feel at home because it sounds like the womb and it helps older babies to cycle through sleep cycles. Use a constant sound such as static, heavy rainfall or a vacuum. Make sure it does not turn off after a certain interval as we want it to be playing the whole time to help those sleep cycles! 3.) Build strong routines. This is not the same as a schedule. A routine is just the steps you do before putting your baby down to sleep. Each step in that routine triggers the brain to release sleep hormones. Essentially, it acts as your baby’s clock telling the body what time it is… sleep time! Inconsistent sleep routines can lead to inconsistent sleep! Please ask @nurturingsleepsolutions anything by tagging her in the comments below. And a big thanks to @nurturingsleepsolutions for participating in this chat!

3 month sleeping problems- my son was sleeping a good 6-7 hours a night. Recently he's only been doing 2-4 hours at a time. Nothing in his evening routine has changed... Ideas???
Best overnight diapers? Sofia has been sleeping 10-12 hours at night and every morning there is a pee spot on her sheet and she reeeeeeeeks of pee.
Time goes by so fast when you sleep holy shit

I woke mine for feeds during the day even if I knew she wasn't hungry just to get the recommended amount down her during the day also I'd make her sleep in the living room in her Moses basket where there was noise then cot at night so she started to know the difference. I hope you find a routine that works for you so your not so exhausted x
