Leap 10 🤪

Guys… I think we’re in the dreaded leap 10 💀 Yesterday she was feral. Just feral. She was on a personal mission to climb and jump and throw fits and tantrums and slam herself on the floor face first. Then overnight she just. would. not. sleep. Every 5-10 mins sitting bolt upright and crying. Last I checked the…

Baby is perfectly content during daytime, either laying in rocker or sleep pod, will self soothe if she startles herself.. but come nighttime she will absolutely scream the place down when put down, especially into her snuzpod. Tried using the snuzpod during the day, which she will happily sleep in then but come n...

My sinuses the last couple of days have been blocked and I’m working 9-12 hours a day and getting p...

Do you have to wake baby every 3-4hrs?

My newborn is really good in the day with letting me know when he's hungry. I last fed him around midnight it's now 6.15am and he hasn't woken for a milk. Do I have to wake him? When we was in hospital he just refused and drank when he wanted. If anything he got more unsettled and grumpy with me waking him😶

Raising the crib

I had to have my baby in the bed with me last night as when she was in her next to me crib, it seemed too uncomfortable for her stomach and she was restless the whole time but the bed seems to be a bit raised I guess which helped her settle. I did as much burping as I could before laying her down but there’s obvious...

Boy mums and leaky diapers

What did you guys do to not have leaky diapers in the night? Things I've tried: 1. Change after his first wake of the night- this is hit and miss because he would be so wriggly and fussy because his sleep was disturbed that it's very difficult to put a diaper on him. 2. Change diaper brand - used pampers but it's ...

How is my baby supposed to nap well?

Why is it everyone on the street has waited for me to have a baby in the house to start home improvement projects? There's scaffolding on at least 5 houses around us, both our neighbours are having work done, buzz saws, drills, and general banging and power tool noises all day long 😭

Tips for staying sleep in bassinet? 😭

Any tips to get baby to sleep in bassinet? Idk, but she may hate sleeping on her back, or have the startle reflex (even when swaddled). Even in a deep sleep, she will wake up minutes later once put her in the bassinet.

Getting rid of dummy

NHS recommends removing dummy between 6 to 12 months but then all advice for removing dummy is aimed at much older toddlers who can talk and understand saying bye bye to the dummy. Is cold turkey best for under 1? Or is keeping it just for sleep ok until she's older than 1? (Her sleep is shocking so don't really w...

Can I stop waking him at night?

My son passed him birth weight at his 2 week weight check. He'll be 1 month on Satuday, and his 1 month check-up is on Monday. His pediatrician hasn't said if I can stop waking him at night. I'll probably just wait till his checkup and ask then, but I was wondering what everyone did for theirs when they were a month...

Multiple night wakings

My almost 4 month old has been awake every hour since 6pm. Sometimes it's even less than an hour (after feeding and putting her in the cot she'll be awake after 15 minutes of putting her down!). This went on until 1ish am when she did sleep 3 hours after. We're at our wits end. I'm wondering why she was waking up lo...
