CPS?

Something’s wrong with me. My LG was wailing & crying & screaming & all I did was watch. Didn’t feel like picking her up to comfort her & still don’t.. should I just turn myself in?

Long night wakings and exhaustion

My 4 week old wakes once/ twice in the night. Problem is that the wake period is really long. It’s not that he’s awake for the whole time, but he struggles to get comfy again in his next to me. It often means I’m awake from about 2-4am and then he wakes again around 6 and we don’t get back to sleep after that one. We don’t get to sleep until around 10:30/11 as that is when he has his evening feed. My toddler is also waking in the night too sometimes. I’m so so tired that I can’t think straight and I’m also doing nursery runs/ looking after a toddler at the same time as a newborn and just feeling really overwhelmed. My husband helps out but he’s back at work and is knackered too. Is anyone else having similar issues?

Nap times

My baby girl is currently 14 weeks old and we have been struggling with naps for a while now. We manage to get her down a few times a day however she does not sleep longer than 30 min.. I know this is the length of a sleep cycle so it is normal but she l never seems to be fully rested especially in the afternoon. She often wakes up looking tired but refuses to go back to sleep, or if I hold her and rock her to sleep there is no way of putting her down again. The evenings are a battle because of it as she gets over tired. Any tips or advise on how to lengthen her naps?

Is this true?

You can't enact your second amendment rights in an airport.
That's why they've sent ICE there.

Bottle refusal

EBF and deciding I want a bit more flexibility so wanted to introduce a bottle so I can go out more.

She used to take one three months ago. Now she flat out refuses and cries - doesn’t matter if it’s expressed breastmilk or formula. Tried it in a sippy cup as well. What can I do?

Formula suggestions

Hey! We are new to the United States and we are struggling to find a good formula, we are currently using bubs grass fed formula (pictured below) and we use Karicare (also pictured) back at home. We are looking for something similar that comes in a bigger can as the bubs one is only 20 OZ so we are having to buy 2 cans p/w

Swaddling

Hi there,

When did you guys stop swaddling your babies? I think it says something like when they are able to roll over on their own etc but I have been cosleeping with my son for a few weeks now (he’s 10 weeks now) & the last few nights I have no been swaddling him and he seems to be doing okay but was wondering if that’s the right thing to do? I know every baby is different but I’m just curious to hear from others

5 months in own room

Mum here of a 5 month old who doesn’t sleep and easily woken up. We are thinking of making the transition into her own room when he turns 5 months (on 10th November) and I’m nervous but feel we have to try.

Has anyone else had these same thoughts? We will of course have the monitor on all night and out hose isn’t huge we will be able to hear her.

3am feed refusing morning bottle

My 5 month old goes to bed at 7pm, feeds around 11pm and then wakes for a feed at 3am. If we feed at 3am he totally refuses his morning bottle. He wakes up any time around 6am.

Would you settle back to sleep and not give the 3am bottle, I’m not sure this would work or slowly reduce the ounces in the bottle?

He has 4 180ml bottles in the day time.

Sleep advice please!

My 1 year old wakes up between 4/4:30am every morning, regardless of what time I put him to bed, his nap time/length.
I’m back to work on Monday and I’ll be working 9:30am-6pm and I’m honestly dreading it as I’m up from the minute my LO wakes up.
Can anyone help with any sleep advice please? Xx
