Unsettled baby

Dad's not helping at night?

Hi, what are people's thoughts about dads helping out at night? My little boy is 4 weeks old and my partner has gone back to work this week. I'm so frustrated as since he's gone back, he doesn't do anything to help through the night, he lies there and snores away and it's getting to the point where I'm infuriated. I...

Sleep issues

LO is refusing to sleep at reasonable times (currently still trying to get him to bed). We have a 5 week old baby and sleep has been a big issue in the last 2 weeks. He skips naps on some days but will still go to sleep at 10pm. I am so sleep deprived and looking to find a way to resolve this. Does anyone have advice?

Baby won’t contact nap anymore

Is this normal? It wasn’t so long ago we were all complaining babies will ONLY contact nap. Seems my boy is already at n age where he can’t / won’t do that anymore. He has to be left alone and undisturbed to nap. I can’t remember the last time he fell asleep on me. Anyone else?!

Am I being over the top

I have been given a next to me crib for free by a friend of a friend. When we got it, it wasn’t in the best condition and was quite grubby but my mum has managed to clean the fabrics and what she’s done so far has come out ok.

Nappy changes

Feel like I’m going out of my mind?! So when my partner finally decides to do a nappy change, he’ll change her without wiping her if it’s just a wee? Is this okay? Is that normal? I use wipes with every nappy change, to me it’s just common sense to keep her clean?! Am I over reacting? 😤🫠

Lowering Cot

So our Cot was on a middle level and overnight ( a very rough one indeed) my LO learnt the great new skill of pulling himself up and standing! 👏 When standing the top of the cot would be around around armpit level so we’ve lowered the cot to the lowest setting now - but oh my god he looks so deep inside and I…
