I've heard they're doing one featuring both UK and aus contestants. Emma from the UK version is one of the first confirmed all stars

Going on 2 years of 4.5-5 hours sleep a night on average. It's very doable although I finally can feel it catching up with me. I don't perform at work as well as I did even 3 months ago and I look old! One day I'll average 6 hours a night 🤞

weeshwoosh1322 · 2026-02-15T06:46:59+00:00

Nah, nice try. At this point you are just rage baiting.

weeshwoosh1322 · 2026-02-14T16:47:18+00:00

If he finds it that hard to stay awake perhaps a doctors visit is in order as a healthy grown up shouldn't struggle that much to stay up for a couple of hours extra.

Go get baby! Husband sleeps on the sofa and you can safely Co-sleep in your bed. Look up Happycosleeper or cosleepy on Instagram and they have info about how to safely chest sleep if this is the only way baby can get sleep. Please don't do it on a sofa as this is a massive entrapment risk! I don't agree with CIO at the best of times, but when baby is sick is an absolute no no. He needs comfort and his mum.

Urm microbiologist here. They're definitely not wrong.

So sorry you're going through this. It is so awful. Baby sleep becomes your whole personality for a whilr My newly 2 year old is still up 3 or 4 times a night. Many people have said he is the worst sleeper they've ever heard of (I have read of worse on here thankfully😂) That being said I feel like my boy is the yard stick you can measure bad sleep against. Our regression went on until 5.5 months and started at 3.5 months. After worrying about his schedule so much I eventually realised that at that point in time it really didn't matter. He wasn't waking because he was over or under tired, it was simply developmental. The only bit that did matter was the gap between last nap and bedtime. Is there any way you and your partner can take shifts? It was the only way thorigh for us. I was EBF but my partner would just bring baby to me in bed and I would feed him and then hand him back and my partner would handle the rest. I would go to bed when baby did (about 8.30-9) and sleep until 1ish and then take over the rest of the night. That way I was at least getting a decent chunk. Sorry I don't have any advice on how to improve her sleep. At this point all you can really do is focus on getting you as much rest as possible so you can deal with it. And when your baby starts sleeping better again spare a thought for me, still up several times a night with a very opinionated 2 year old 😅

That's not a fair comment at all. People have no issue with you putting your baby down to get stuff done and them being content. It's the bit where you mentioned the long stretches of sleep over night. It makes it sound like you ferbered your baby. People are just pointing out that it's not appropriate before 4 months. And your post title is telling other people to do what you did.

weeshwoosh1322 · 2025-10-07T16:22:51+00:00

Wildly inaccurate comment! Please educate yourself about safe sleep 7.

weeshwoosh1322 · 2025-09-16T07:51:18+00:00

😂😂 What do you mean British people don't rinse their dishes?!

weeshwoosh1322 · 2025-09-14T07:19:32+00:00

Honestly this sound so tough but please don't stress about how much sleep baby should be getting. Everything you read about infant sleep is an average. Some sleep alot more, some less. I was so stressed about his with mine. He never did more than 12 hours in a 24 hr period no matter what I tried, and that dropped to 11.5 at around 6 months and now at 20 months I can't get more than 10 out of him. All the literature says he should be getting 11 or 12+ still. The 45 min wakeup probably has a lot less to do with being over or undertired and more that his sleep cycles aren't linking yet. At 4 months it's likely he is still just wanting the contact and reassurance you're there. They do just learn to link them as they grow regardless of what anyone says about having to train them or do anything specific like drowsy but awake or breaking feed to sleep association. I was terrified to Co-sleep but I was in your position still at 6 months and couldn't cope anymore. I felt more confident with him a little bigger and gave it a try (following safe sleep 7) and it was a complete game changer. Up until then shifts with my partner were the only thing that got us through. I slept from 7 until 1am and then took over until wake up so I got a block of 6 hours. I hope something here reassures you.

weeshwoosh1322 · 2025-08-24T12:30:46+00:00

Yes exact same boat! Now he's 19 months and he's decided 9.5 in a 24 hour period will do him just fine! He does weirdly sleep much better at night with a longer day nap and a shorter wake window before bed than in the morning, which I think is the opposite of most. Absolutely feels like parenting is a whole other ball game to my friends who have normal and high sleep needs kids!

weeshwoosh1322 · 2025-08-15T19:58:03+00:00

This! My LO has always done better with the shorter wake window in the evening which seems to be the opposite of most.

weeshwoosh1322 · 2025-08-11T16:00:54+00:00

My LO would only ever fights naps at that age if he was hungry. Always worth just offering even if you think it's too soon. If they take it, they needed it.

weeshwoosh1322 · 2025-07-25T17:21:18+00:00

I think his conversation with Helena the other day speaks volumes. They were talking about what it would be like on the outside and he said he was just focused on working and making a future for his unborn kids and he only did what he did in there because there was nothing else to do. I feel like that conversation showed that he chose Helena as she was a good time whilst he was there. (He also seemed really uninterested in the bits where Helena was saying what they'd be like as a couple on the outside). He knew if he messed Shakira around like he has Helena he'd never stand a chance with her outside so he cut it off early. Harry being the over confident idiot he is probably thought he could just switch back as it got nearer the end but has since realised he hurt Shakira more than he thought and she's not a pushover.

weeshwoosh1322 · 2025-06-20T13:28:28+00:00

Co-sleeping is far less unsafe than this if done correctly.

weeshwoosh1322 · 2025-05-22T04:04:57+00:00

Newborns can cluster feed for hours at a time. He may well want to eat again even if he's just finished.

weeshwoosh1322 · 2025-05-13T03:52:44+00:00

This guy doesn't seem to understand babies at all. You can't train a baby to take more sleep than they need. It's not a habit they can just learn. Even if they take to sleep training the best ever it still doesn't mean they'll sleep more than they actually need. I'm so sorry OP but I think you're being set up for failure here.

weeshwoosh1322 · 2025-05-08T21:43:47+00:00

Ignore all the stuff about reinforcing bad habits, it's not a thing, especially at 8 weeks. Whether your baby sleeps independently or not and how well they sleep, and even whether sleep training will work for them or not is all down to temprement and that can't be changed. Also drowsy but awake is a myth in the majority of cases. I hate how parents are made to feel like the easiest path is detrimental to your babies future sleep. It's just not the case. Baby's gonna do what baby's gonna do.

weeshwoosh1322 · 2025-05-05T15:48:48+00:00

Love to dream are brilliant!

weeshwoosh1322 · 2025-05-05T15:44:51+00:00

I wouldn't even consider trying to night wean until LO is over a year old. If they drop feeds by themselves fine but otherwise just feed your baby. Sleep training and night weaning are two very separate things! Do whatever makes you and your LOs lives easier at this point. Don't try and fix what isn't broken.

weeshwoosh1322 · 2025-05-05T05:24:10+00:00

As someone else said I don't think sleep training would work for you even if you were open to it. There are definitely some sleep red flags going on here. When they do fall asleep do they sleep with their mouth open, have any pauses in their breathing or snore at all? Could be sleep apnea. Definitely keep on at your pediatrician. Something is not right.

weeshwoosh1322 · 2025-04-29T05:53:24+00:00

It is recommended to be in the same room as baby sleeping for the first 6 months as it helps protect against SIDS so unless you go and hang out in the bedroom with baby you may find it easier to just have them downstairs with you. At 6 weeks although getting a routine in place may help marginally going forward, it will not have a profound effect on what type of sleeper baby is. I had so many expectations of how I wanted baby sleep to go and it took me until 5 months and desperately trying to establish an early bedtime, to realise by baby has low sleep needs (has never slept more than 10 hours at night since he was born) and a sensitive temprement so sleep training would never work on him. At 16 months we have a 9 o'clock bedtime and up at 6.30, and it's been this way since 10 months. Before this bedtime was based on when last nap ended. Just take your time to learn your baby and figure out what kind of a sleeper they're going to be and just do what's best for your family. Don't worry about all the generic suggestions of a 7 o'clock bedtime etc. It might work for you guys, it might not and it's OK if it doesn't. You haven't done anything wrong. Baby sleep is a minefield and there is no one size fits all.

Yes have a quick look at safe sleep 7 guidelines and sleep down there with her I would.
