Never a second from Baby 💔🥹

Hey everyone 💫💗

I find that I’m constantly with my 10week old constantly. She’s feeding on demand and find when breastfeeding and trying to get the wind up I’m unable to get enough out for her to settle down for the 2-3hrs ☹️💔 not to mention I’m sleep deprived running on crumbs. As we speak it’s 4am she’s just had some milk and she fell asleep and didn’t burp. I have 0 friends mind you and feel absolutely helpless and lonely. I’m going through PPD as well unfortunately which sucks.

Thanks for the advice in advance 💗💗

Sex life!!

Hiya so my son is 13 months old and usually sleeps through the night but my partner wakes at 5am for work so we go to bed pretty early . We have sex on average about 6 times a month so 1 times every 5 days (we do things like oral in between and id say every 3 or 4 days) is this good or not .

Night stretches

What is everyone newborn doing for there night stretches my 9 week is doing the night stretches and I’m worried that he’s sleeping to long but when I try wake him during night for milk he won’t take it until he wakes himself

Feeding

Does any one else has a one month old that drinks 6 oz , my mom is taking over and telling me that she should take 4oz but that seems not to keep her full??

Is the flooring stopping my baby’s progress?

My baby is struggling to pivot and crawl, I’m starting to think that maybe it is because he’s on carpet as he’s pivoting in his sleep all the time.
Has anyone else felt this way?

Would you recommend a play mat if so which one?

Safe sleeping for newborns

I’ve done so much research around safe sleeping in newborns but just don’t know what to do? Whats everyone’s preferences with sleeping? Cellular blankets? Swaddles? Sleep sacks?

I think I’m really over thinking it and worrying about the weather

I can’t believe she’s almost 4 months!

The feeling of doom, the sundown scaries, the anxiety, the ‘what have I done’ feeling… is all slowly coming to an end. It was rough the first few weeks. But I guess people were right when they said ‘everything’ will be ok with time. It’s not 100% easier, just more tolerable as baby is learning to communicate in ways she knows how without crying constantly. I’m slowly learning her cues and she’s showing more of a personality which is making this a bit more pleasant.
I can’t believe I’ve come this far with her. And how healthy and happy she looks.

Sorry guys, it’s just been a very LONG few months with a baby that had bad reflux.

First Haircut

When did you give your son his first haircut? I haven’t cut my son’s hair yet, as I personally don’t want to do it yet, but others keep saying I need to cut this hair because he is a boy.

Super wriggly and loud - is this normal?!

Hiya!

Our nearly 6 week old has always been a restless sleeper - lots of noise and movement- however she is usually asleep when she does this and we always used to think it was a way of self soothing.

However this has become extreme over the last few days! Worse than the attached video.
We are having to pick her up to help resettle her and then transfer her again about an hour (sometimes sooner) after the original transfer down. Aware could be linked to sleep cycles but she has always settled herself back down....

She has been difficult to burp recently too - however this can still happen after a good burp.

Also - she isn't this restless if being held sleeping or on the bed next to us....

Any advise?!?

5am is still night!

My 18mo is walking at 5am without fail, sometimes closer to 4.30 and no chance of going back to sleep. She naps at 12.30ish at nursery for 1-1.5 hours and goes to bed at 7. Room is pitch black. I tried pushing bedtime later and she woke earlier… what should I do?

Nearly 6 months rolling

My nearly 6 months old has started to roll and this morning I woke up to him roll on his front and he put his head down into the mattress I’m actually so scared now to put him to sleep just incase he does it again and I’m not awake😭
He has a joie next to me crib

UNPOPULAR OPINION

I know they tell you not to let baby sleep on their stomach but it’s honestly the only position baby girl prefers to sleep in. When she’s on her back she’s restless and doesn’t sleep very well at all. Please tell me I’m not the only one🫣

Rocking to sleep

Anyone is still rocking to sleep? Im getting exhausted, especially in this weather! If i try to put him down drowsy he just gets up straight away or starts laughing. How can I teach him to fall asleep without being rocked? TIA

what the actual fuck

my newly 12mth old has been awake from 12am-4am and i’m not convinced he’ll stay asleep.

he had 1 nap at 8:30am and spent the day out and about.
had extra milk whilst out to keep him fed.
he’s drunk loads of water
his room is now below 25°c again

i’ve been crying for 2.5hrs because I DONT KNOW WHY HE WONT SLEEP 😞😭

Feeding

I’m noticing that a lot more mums seem to be exclusively breastfeeding these days which is great; there’s so much more education out there now to support us.

With that said - I really don’t think the “1% club” is a thing anymore (only 1% of babies in the UK only having breastmilk until 6 months when they start weaning). This data was collected in 2010 I believe!!!

With that said, how is your baby fed? (For curiosity on the data, no judgement!!!)

Newborn sleep

I’m awake currently for my middle of the night pump and my almost 5 week old has been asleep now for 5 hours without waking up. Her night time sleep stretches have definitely gotten progressively longer, but seeing her sleep for so long without even stirring because she’s hungry is freaking me out. She fought every single nap yesterday and probably only slept for a total of 4ish hours during the day.. could that be a reason she’s sleeping so long? I hate complaining about how long my baby sleeps because I know some people are in the trenches but I’m definitely worrying about it.. did I mention I’m a first time mom? 😅
