“My baby used to wake up once during the night when he was born. I thought we won in a lottery. This gradually turned into waking up 3-4 times per night. I know it’s not THAT bad (quite normal, I guess) but I am exhausted. He doesn’t have problem falling back asleep or anything…”

“This is driving me and my wife nuts. Our 10 month old girl (b/g twins) was always a horrible sleeper, but she never did this. She started waking up at 3 am and not going to sleep till 5 or 6. She seems perfectly happy, just not sleepy. We tried shortening her daytime naps to 3.5…”

Parent trying to build or fix a daily schedule: when to drop a nap, what wake windows at this age, bedtime takes hours, false starts 40 minutes after bedtime, early morning wakes, overtired meltdowns, low-sleep-needs baby. Buildable: a wake-window scheduler + nap-transition planner (Huckleberry's territory — the gap is the transition weeks, not the steady state).

“Help! My 11 week old’s wake windows are WAY too long. 2.5-4 hours 😵‍💫 I try putting her down for a nap at around 1.5hrs into her wake window, but often to no avail. I typically nurse her to sleep and do contact naps throughout…”

“FTM to a 5.5 mo baby boy.. I feel I am in worst trenches than newborn. He has been napping only 25 mins at once with wake windows of 2-5-3 hours.. and it takes such effort to make him nap. He feeds 2.5-3 hours. He is always on his tummy and hates being on back. Recently became a clingy baby. Also started scooting all over the house on belly and licking chair, walls. Can’t feel anything on gums but sticking out tongue often and passing gas a lot also number of poops increased. We follow all cues”

“EBF baby, goes to childcare 9am-12pm (3hrs), for two consecutive days. He usually wakes at around 6:45-7am and won’t nap at childcare. I put him down for a nap once we get home but my concern is that i’m doing something wrong by him skipping his first nap (usually around 9:45-10:30am He seems happy at childcare and once cried once when i picked him up. but i’m feeling horribly guilty about his napping. The educators struggle to nap EBF babies this young. They tried to give him a bottle but it he”

“I’ve no idea what I’m doing wrong. I’ve tried what feels like quite literally everything now. You name it, I’ve tried it. Is it just a case of waiting it out?! Example - Last night we had a perfect bedtime, perfect put down into the cot… 45 mins later. Awake. Then awake again and again and again. Finally put him in my bed as he does tend to sleep a bit longer there. WIDE awake at 2am and wouldn’t go back down for another 1-1.5hr. He’s never done that before. Usually you can settle him and he’ll”

“For awhile we were sticking to the right wake window and daily naps but now at 3.5 months (15.5 weeks) my LO takes longer naps and has shorter wake windows most of the time. I try to wake her up at 2 hours if she naps that long but she cries and goes back to sleep until she's ready to wake up. So I just stopped waking her up. She eats fine, gains weight fine, otherwise pretty happy! She doesn't sleep well at night without me and pretty much only cosleeps otherwise I wouldn't get any”

“Please tell me how are we getting these babies to go to sleep around 7-8 PM? I spend 4+ hours every single night trying to get her down. Once she does, she sleeps through the night. We follow her windows and do the same routine every night. My life has been the 4 walls of our bedroom and I miss spending time with my husband during the evening and not being constantly needed😭. I love my daughter so much but I just want some life back and being able to eat dinner and watch a show with my husband.”

“My four month old takes 3-4 tries a night to successfully stay asleep in her bassinet for the night. Once it’s successful, we will get multi-hour stretches, so maybe I should just count myself lucky for that, but the sometimes 2 hour process of successfully getting her to sleep is not ideal especially since I’ll be returning to work soon. I’ve tried all the basics I think, our typical routine is nurse to sleep with the sound machine on brown noise and then transfer into her bassinet after 20-30”

“So I’ve been taking to other parents and apparently not everyone is struggling with sleep at 6 months 🥲. One mum told me she occasionally has to rescue crib naps or otherwise her baby only sleeps 30 min (girrllll, my baby wakes up as soon as she touches her crib). Other parents have told me they’re glad their baby is back to sleeping through the night because some days they were up 3 times (that’s a good night for me!), or telling me about how they just lay baby in crib and they drift off.

“Night sleep is bad for almost 4 weeks now: false starts, hourly waking (6-7 wakings per night). And I thought it can’t be worse than that. But apparently it can. The day before yesterday the daysleep got really bad as well, only sleeping 20-40 mins. In the night she woke up 8 times. Then during the day it became really hard to make her sleep again.

“My baby is almost 4 months but was born at 35 weeks so he’s closer to 3 months. He’s exclusively breastfed during the day and takes bottles of pumped breastmilk at night. It’s been that way basically since he was born. During the day, his wake windows are about 1-1.5 hours and then he nurses and falls asleep on me for anywhere from 30 mins-1.5 hours. His typical nap times are somewhere around 10-11, 1-2, 4-5. He is tired and fussy again around 7, so when he was around 2.5 months old, we started”

“My second baby is 8.5 months old and has already dropped to one nap. It's very rare for him to have two naps now. He's up at 0700, naps at 1200 until about 1400, then goes to bed between 1830-1930. He hasn't gone through any noticeable "sleep regressions" and teething hasn't impacted sleep, either. He's an anomaly lol. My first-born was ROUGH. Does it matter? I know sleep is crucial for development. Baby bed-shares with me and wakes once or twice to nurse overnight”

“Since 16 weeks baby has falls starts every evening. Her bedtime and wake up time also changed during this period and I feel like soon we will transition from 5 naps to 4 naps. Are the false starts because of the sleep regression or because of nap changes? In the first week the false starts just started mildly. Her bedtime was 20:00 and I she woke up constantly every 30min-40min until 22:00. Then had a bigger sleep chunk and wakings every 1-1,5 hour. The second week this evolved into waking up ev”

He used to take naps great as well, but ever since he turned 5 months, every time is a struggle. Bedtime is a struggle every single night. He fights sleep so hard. He’ll be rubbing his eyes, he’ll have a bottle, I’ll rock him, sing to him, I feel like I’ve tried it all. Any advise? I thought the 4 month regression was bad but this is ROUGH.”

About a month ago, she also had 3 consecutive nights where she put herself to sleep in the crib from a ful”

“11.5 months old and my girl has been having a rough last couple of nights 😭 we’ve been cosleeping with her for a while but moved her crib into our room and she will nap perfectly fine in her crib and go down completely fine at night but she’s on this routine of waking up a few hours after going down and needing milk. We put her in our bed to feed her. Sometimes she does really good with sleeping in her crib the entire night, and I notice when she stays in our bed she will wake up multiple times”

“My baby is 21 months old. They used to be a good sleeper from 2mo to 6mo until they started teething. They starting waking up very frequency and that never stopped. They are 21mo now and still wake up almost every hour for "boobie". They eat well during the day and have a full dinner at night before sleeping. One nap around 1pm for 1 to 2 hrs depending upon how tired they are. But thats it. I cant figure it why they haven't started sleeping through the night as it is really exhaust”

“Losing our minds Our 3.5-month-old has been struggling with naps lately. Every nap is a significant fight. He’s a good eater and happy spitter. He sleeps for 7 hours a night, and his first three naps are fine, but the ones after that are always a major struggle. He is a happy baby when he is up and a great social smiler et etc etc. He screams to death when we try to put him down after his feed, gas, playtime, tummy time, and diaper routine, which takes an average of 60 to 90 minutes.

“My LO is almost 4.5 months and recently started having big melt downs at the end of every wake window when it’s time to nap or go to bed for the night. LO had these same meltdowns from weeks 10-14 and they were finally going away but now they’re back… I watch wake windows and have tried extending and shortening them but it feels like no matter what I do my LO starts crying or screaming once they’re close to falling asleep. We contact nap during the day and my LO still has these meltdowns. I’ve t”

“My baby was such a good sleeper from 4 months to 6 months. Now it is torture every night. She only sleeps with us. Her crib is her enemy. She also used to be on a great nap schedule where she’d wake at 8 am then nap at 11 for about a half hour, then again at 2 for another half hour to an hour and then bed time at 7:30/8 and out for the night. In the past two weeks she still does her 11 & 2 nap but wants to sleep at 6:30-7 for maybe an hour and then wakes again around 8:30/9 and won’t sleep f”
