Nursery

Hey mummies and daddies, has anybody got experience with baby not getting used to nursery? My daughter started at 12 months (a month ago) and still has a meltdown every time we drop her off. How long until it settles? I worry that she’s just not happy there :(

1st night home

Gave birth 3 days ago, very traumatic. Lost a lot of blood, didn’t get induced as planned.

Girl is very sensitive to startle reflux, we have had 1.24 hours sleep last night as she won’t settle in her next to me crib.

We have tried swaddling which didn’t work and a grow bag. She is doing it every 30 seconds and scares herself. Bottled fed as BF for the first 2 days after birth but I cannot continue. Does anyone have any solutions?

Sleep regression

Hate to be this person as I see so many babies/mamas on here being affected by this sleep regression but my baby is 20 weeks on Thursday and so far, we haven’t really struggled with nighttime sleep, she sleeps through and has done since 10 weeks. We are only really struggling with daytime naps (being super short). Has the nighttime sleep regression been delayed for any one else? Or have I just got really lucky?

Sleep😩

Not sure whether anyone’s in the same boat, but I’m on about week 5 of sleep regression! LO is 4.5 months, his daytime naps are mostly ok, he’s sleeping from around 7:30/8pm until midnight/1am ish, then from 2ish he’s up every hour? Not seeking feeds just cuddling and rocking back to sleep.
He woke up at 5am for an hour and a half this morning, then slept 6:30-7:30, now seems to want a nap again? I follow his cues and he sleeps/ naps on demand. We have a bedtime routine of bath, story and feed.
He’s exclusively breastfed and we’re co sleeping for now to get through this rough patch (he is completely rejecting his NTM crib).

I know that they struggle to tie their sleep cycles together esp early hours of the morning, so it makes sense as to why this is happening but I guess I’m just looking for some advice (I mention it to family but just get the typical “try formula and putting him in his crib, try a higher tog sleeping bag he might be cold”. ) We have tried one bottle of formula before, it didn’t work and tbh I don’t want to give him formula yet!

Thankyou!!

8 week jabs

Little one has his jabs this morning what should I expect!? Any tips? 😭

Recommendations- Newborn

Could anyone recommend a baby carrier suitable for a newborn?

Refusing milk

My babies nearly 11 months. And suddenly gone off drinking milk before sleeps. Any one else having this issue? He has milk before bed but not half as much as he used to, and sometimes before naps he flat out refuses it. Is this just him getting older?

High chairs

Hi,
Planning on weaning my baby in a monts time when hes 6 month however he weighs 10kg already and i cant seem to find a high chair that can hold a decent weight.

Any ideas?

Thank you x

Hows everyone coping with a 7mo/8mo baby? 🤣

My sons crawling everywhere, has 2 teeth, is climbing, eating absolutely everything and pulling to stand. He’s basically a little monster 😭 I miss the newborn bedrotting days so bad!!!

Milton cold water steriliser

Does anyone else rinse the bottles when they come out of the steriliser?

I didn’t with my first but now it advises on the packet to rinse

Formula bottle

How many bottles is your baby having in a 24 hour period and how many ounces?
My babies formula tin said he would only need 4 6oz bottles a day for his weight but he has a lot more!

Sleep help

My baby is sleeping in day with us because my husband works in night shift so we all sleep in the day but she is just 5 months and at night she only sleep in arms and wakes up when transferred to bed but also cries because she wants to sleep. Any advice??

Gas/reflux

When does this get better in babies? My LO is 13 weeks and I feel like his reflux has gone worse than it was before?

Sleep regression progression

Anyone else in a similar boat with wakes every 2 hours?

We went through a couple of weeks at 3.5 months of walking every 1 hour or sometimes 30 mins. We’re thankfully through that but now at walking every 2 hours. We’ve had this for a couple of weeks and no signs of shifting.

I’m feeding every time to get him back down quickly which I know I need to stop but he cries and is settled by a feed.

Any advice!?

Regression

My LO has been sleeping bad for around 4 weeks now, he is 18 weeks today.. could this be the sleep regression?

Anxiety panic disorder

I’ve always been a worried person, ever since I was a child. In 2022 I had a breakdown and couldn’t stop having panic attacks over nothing. Since then I’ve been on medication to help (it’s all safe in pregnancy). Recently I’ve had to take a diazepam as it has become unbearable again and I don’t know what has triggered it. Could be staying at my boyfriend’s house after a long time but I’m trying so hard to push through it for my baby.
My boyfriend is concerned that I won’t be completely able to look after our baby when I become like this (psa we have LOADS of family and friends to support us). I had a little cry last night over that comment but I know I’ll be a good mum, panic disorder or not
Sorry this is so long, just needed a quick vent
