Your Baby and Sleep in general Reviews

Sleep we all need it and as a new parent you need it more then ever. As I had gestational diabetes I was informed that when my son was born he would be on 3 hour feeds day and night. (Weather he wanted it or not as the midwife said) The first few weeks of my sons arrival I was either feeding him winding him or changing him and when ...  Read the complete review

I don't know if I've just been lucky or if it was down to any of the following techniques which we used, but my little boy started to sleep through the night after he was 6 weeks old. If any of the following suggestions can help anyone from having more sleepless nights than necessary then I'll be a happy girl. 1: Get blackout blinds - ...  Read the complete review

We have 2 children the older is 5 years and 6 months old, the younger is 15 months old. My sister had 2 babies before we had our eldest one and we got plenty of advice from her, as well as from cousins, friends, colleagues and so on, but the reality is that when you look at sleeping patterns of children, not only every child is ...  Read the complete review

Everyone knows how little babies actually sleep at night. Or at least they think they do until they have one. I've trained as a paediatric nurse so I was very smug when I was pregnant that I knew exactly what to expect when it came to looking after young babies...until my own came along. I ended up with an emergency c-section so was in hospital ...  Read the complete review

My Son is 15 months old and although he sleeps a lot better than he used to, he is still not sleeping through the night on a regular basis, therefore I feel that I have enough experience to contribute to the 'Babies and Sleep' category. My review is not going to help you to get your baby to sleep at night, but hopefully it will provide a ...  Read the complete review

I have always been blessed with good sleepers my son was sleeping through at 4 weeks old, my second child at 5 weeks old and my new baby is sleeping through now at 7 weeks old. As a parent you need your sleep because of contending with night feeds, or in most cases you are working and most of all you need your sleep when you have more children ...  Read the complete review

I would like to start this review by stating that I am not a mean person or a bad parent, just a woman who really can't function without a good eight hours of sleep at least! I have two children: my daughter Charlotte is nearly eight and my son Finlay is 16 months. When I first had Charlotte I really wasn't prepared for the sleep ...  Read the complete review

Sleep is one of the hardest and most important things to do when you have children. Getting it right is so hard; you get so much advice even if you don't want it. I feel that every child/baby is different, some will need more sleep than others and different ways of sleep will help one child but not another. They say that when you have children ...  Read the complete review

I have been quite lucky as far as sleeping goes with my little boy I only had a couple of weeks worth of sleepless nights before he started to sleep through the night and by sleeping through the night I mean for at least 12 hrs each night, not that I could say the same about me, I was always worrying and checking up on him every hour or every ...  Read the complete review

One of the roles of a baby is to keep their Mummy and Daddy awake. It is in their job description, and they are as good as gold in sticking to the rules. This, however, whilst expected by all new parents, can be far more draining than anyone ever imagined, and whilst we are designed to cope for the most part, in the knowledge (or is that hope?) ...  Read the complete review

This is a review I have hoped to be able to write since I have joined Dooyoo and now am in a position to do so. My son has had sleep problems since he was born. I personally believe that part of his problem relates to the fact I never had a full nights sleep during my pregnancy due to the need to be sick so he never inside me ...  Read the complete review

Sometimes I think the last few weeks of pregnancy, when you can't get comfortable no matter how hard you try and end up wandering round the house in the early hours of the morning because you just can't sleep, is just our bodies' way of preparing us for the real sleep deprivation you get when you have a newborn baby. It makes it so much harder ...  Read the complete review

Sleep....must sleep. Eyes so heavy, child so noisy, partner so unhelpful, urge to cry rising.. Oh yes - all you chuckling non parents out there may well mock, but it'll be your turn one day! Actually, I should at this juncture point out that the sleep patterns of all children vary, and your experience of such will also vary. By ...  Read the complete review

When I was pregnant I sort of gathered I was going to have sleep issues with my baby as I wouldn't feel him move all day, then come 8pm he would start wriggling around and kicking me until all hours. When my little boy was born I had to stay in for 4 days as I had a caesarean, his first night he did wake a few times but I expected that ...  Read the complete review

When we had our first, a lot of people told us about the many countless nights that we could expect, and to be honest, I wasnt truely expecting the full realisation of the matter. I didnt know a baby could cry so much for so long. I cant count the amount of times during the night we had to get up. In the begining, our baby was a terrible sleeper, ...  Read the complete review

My youngest daughter is 3 months old and is sleeping through the night (well from 9pm til 7am anyway). To be honest I'm not sure how we arrived at this point but we have and I am unbelievably ecstatic about it. Here is my story: My oldest daughter was a very sleepy baby right from the start, we had to make no effort to get her to ...  Read the complete review

Having a 5 month old son I am well aware of the sleepless nights that arrive once your new baby is in the world. The good news though is that it gets better! My own son has been sleeping through the night since 8 weeks, and apart from the odd night when he doesn't settle we haven't had a sleepless night since!! The first thing to realise is that ...  Read the complete review

Sleep! We all love don't we! Babies and children have to grow to love it and they have to learn about it and of course it takes them years. I'm not an expert on getting a baby to sleep, through the night especially but I've had my fair share of trial and errors with my now 14month old twin boys who still do not sleep through the night all of the ...  Read the complete review

* this review is dedicated to the sleep deprived* First off let me just say I do genuinely love being a parent. I have no regrets at all - I have good days and bad like every parent, so this review is not intended to be a whinge, just a light hearted look at the reality of babies, sleep and hopefully with a few ideas on how to survive ...  Read the complete review

My first baby is now 8 weeks old and I am writing this in the middle of the difficult time. Perhaps some might think I do not have enough experience to write a review but I think it is important to write it now while it is fresh in my mind and I can be brutally honest. We have been really lucky that our son slept for three hours at a ...  Read the complete review
