Sleep a little easier with Pampers 🌜

NannyD • 05/02/2024 - 16:47

Mum of 3 , I found getting a bedtime routine helped... easier said than done I know. Try sticking to at least 1 thing that they can relate to it being bedtime 🌙 helped get them off to sleep quicker 😴 . Nor always a full night's sleep and had many days coping on an empty tank but here's to things getting easier 🙂.... a dry, comfortable bottom always helps 👍... thanks Pampers 😊

Hello, i have a 2 year old and a 4 month old, we have never had a strict routine and been lucky to have babies who love to sleep. This is why pampers are so important as they are going long stretches at night! I also love have the pull up ones for when we’re in a rush and the strap ones for when we have just gotten welllies on😂

Hi, mum of 3 (6, 4 and 9 month old) so I’ve had so many different experiences with each one but by far my second born gave me quite a shock and something to have a laugh over. So when my second born was just a week old I went to change her nappy and she decided to send out some flying poo at me where my trousers got destroyed and there was no way I could stop it as it just kept going and then I had to leave her with my hubby while I went and got changed and then got her clothes while he sorted baby out.

Sleep deprivation hits hard when they go through teething and sleep regressions. Yet Pampers have always been our saviour as they last throughout the long nights with no leaks! I wouldn't want to put my baby into anything else. Who wants to cha ge their baby multiple times a night which wakes them up even more? Not me! Thank you Pampers.

Mom of three here to a 10, 8 and 2 year old and to say we have had our fair share of poonami would be an understatement. We have ended up with poop literally everywhere and even had it where the dog has rolled in it after I didn't spot it fast enough during a midnight newborn stage!!! The best thing about pampers is even you do manage to have a leak during a poonami its still contained the trickiest bit is getting the clothes off with disturbing it more. My massive tip to a new mom will always be don't stress as that makes it spread, and if its really bad just head straight to the bathroom to keep the house cleaner!!!

Everyday is different but try to keep to the best routine we can. I have read a bedtime story since day one with my son, he has no idea what i am saying but he soon realised the pattern. We then do final big feed of the day and into a fresh nappy before he goes into his cot for a 8-10 hour sleep (which he has been doing since 2 months old and we are now at 5 months old) lets hope it continues next month when he goes into his own room.

When my baby was new born I was told in hospital that I should be changing him every few hours through the night!! I got home and then after a few terrible nights my midwife told me -stop!!! No need unless heavy wet or soiled. Best advice ever. I’ve rarely changed his nappy through the night since and he’s now 1.5!! Using pampers absolutely helps, 12 hours is awesome. In terms of sleep tips I don’t have many, my baby has never been a fan 😂

Not going to lie not sure I can offer advice I'm still struggling with sleep dep and still breastfeeding at 18months. I'm actually at a loss to be honest. Up 5x a night for boobie

I've got a 2 year old. And in a toddler bed. How I get him to sleep is he have a milk bottle in bed so he keeps still, have some quiet music on from his teddy's and a mood light like a projector toy etc for him to watch to help him sleep. And he sleeps 7/8-6am

After I had my first, a friend recommended me a book "12 hours sleep by 12 weeks old" by Suzi Giordano. It is brilliant, and whilst I didn't 100% stick to it, i followed the principles and it has helped me get both my boys (now 20 months and 5 months) and then have done a good 8 hours minimum from about 2- 3 months. In a nutshell, as babies, I trained mine to feed every 3 hours rather than 4 hours after about 8/12 weeks. My first child was bottle fed and my second breast-fed and so it does work for both. I had a friend who was really struggling with getting her son to sleep more than 4 hours in the night and eventually she tried this and after a week she said it changed her life and she wished she'd done it sooner. My friend that recommended the book has 4 children (2 boys 2 girls), a mixture of feeding and births and this has also worked for her also. All babies are different, mine couldn't be more difficult but if you're struggling I would really recommend the book.

After ten weeks of sleep deprivation HELL my little boy suddenly slept through the night. I couldn't believe it!
He's 9 months old now and continues to sleep through, around 12hrs in total a night (I know?!) he's my first baby so I feel very lucky!
My major tip is to keep making little tweaks until baby is comfortable. For example, I was tucking the end of his sleep sack (feet end) under his mattress as I'd seen other people do it. He hated it as it meant he didn't have freedom of movement.
He loved being in a sleep sack that kept his arms zipped up (love to dream) and when he became too big for them/risk of rolling and not being able to use hands, I switched him to the ones where the arms are completely out. He did NOT like this as he'd felt safe with his arms tucked in (like in the womb) so I did one arm at a time instead and used sacks with sleeves to slowly get him used to it.
A white noise machine, one that lights up red (tommee tippee £20 on Amazon) is amazing as it indicates to him it's time to sleep when I switch it on. As soon as he hears it now his eyes start rolling back!
Google sleep schedules for your baby's age to see how much awake time they should have between naps (he goes roughly 3.5hrs at 9 months) and make sure they've had good quality naps during the day with no early awakenings as if he's grumpy towards bedtime it's harder to get him to settle.
He still sleeps in my room, do what works for you. Don't feel pressured to put them in their own room because they've turned 6 months, you're their safety and it means you won't be up and down and staring at their monitor.
I only use pampers pull ups for overnight as he used to wake up due to being uncomfortable with a wet nappy, it can burn their skin if the nappy isn't absorbing it!
Hope these tips help someone xx

I’m a mum of two. Have a four year old and a 10 month old. All babies are different when it comes to sleep, my four year old was a dream. Once we sleep trained him at 5 months old - he was able to put himself to sleep independently and he would suck his two fingers to self sooth himself. He would roll over and go to bed straightaway - no complaints. He would take three and a half hour naps in the afternoon and do a 11 hour night. He was definitely a dream high needs sleeper. My 10 month old is wildly different, also sleep trained and she still struggles to sleep and takes very short naps during the day. She must miss the noise and chaos of the household when we put her down! My best advice is to be consistent with the sleep routine, bath, brush teeth, change clothes, book, kiss and bed. Also sleep training both my kids has been great even though the little one doesn’t sleep as much she doesn’t sleep through the night now and it’s really helped with my mental health. A rested mama
Is a better mama.

Dream feeding and snuggles! Sleep is a developmental thing and all babies learn to sleep through and or alone when they are ready. Until then I will snuggle, feed and sleep with my babies knowing the nappy they have on will last until morning time as long as they don’t decide to have a poonami. 🙈🤣

I find sticking to a bedtime routine has really helped my little one to get a sleep pattern together and reduced her night waking. We still get waking up through the night but we are at the 8 month sleep regression at the moment. Otherwise she has been a good sleeper.

Amaksy • 05/02/2024 - 17:56

This is so real. Thank you for sharing so I know I’m not alone. Now trying to decide to take down the sides of the crib to avoid a mishap climbing over so that’ll be a new experience in our sleep honey as I expect it means she’ll be free to roam once awake.

Our 6mo old started getting awful at sleep around 3.5months. Slept far worse than ever did as a newborn sometimes waking up more than 10 times a night. I think in the last week and a half we might be finally getting closer to some better sleep although still 3 feeds in the night currently.

What’s our tip: get dad to do bedtime so that there’s no option to breastfeed to sleep, and breastfeeding is then out of the sleep routine and can’t have the feed to sleep association.

I now think the wakeups are actually for hunger rather than every sleep cycle, and I guess we just have a hungrier baby than those ones that can sleep through at 6months

At 17 months and 2 very tired parents my baby is sleeping through more often than not now 🙌🏻
We always use Pampers premium protection pants which have never let us down 🙌🏻 we have a few bedtime stories, a bottle, followed by a dark room. If we are wanting to get some jobs done we leave the radio on until we go to bed so we don’t disturb 🙌🏻

martka00 • 05/02/2024 - 18:16

My LO is only 6 months old so still quite small and I’d not expect him to have a full night sleep every night! But one of the things that have improved since moving to size 3 nappies - the pampers night nappies! No more leaks as it used to happen up to 3-4 months old (until we’ve discovered the pampers night nappies).
Secondly, my baby is amazing with his bed time - since he’s 3 months old - he is going sleep for the night anything between 7:30-8:30 and he (usually) wakes up around 6-7am (with one or two feeds). We don’t really have any bed time routine as my baby somehow decided that this is his scheduled sleep time and we only try to ensure that we’re back home at 7:30 at latest to get him to bed.

Routine routine routine! I used the Pampers sleep coach to help me with my little boy as he couldn’t fall asleep on his own. Best thing I’ve done!
