Help/advice

My baby is nearly 5months and she has now learnt that she can roll on her side and front now. She can’t roll back onto back yet.

Congestion

Anyone's LO congested and finding it hard to get any sleep? My baby girl has been congested the last week which has resulted in her mainly only being able to sleep while contact napping on our chests. When she's on her back she makes a lot of grunting/choking like sounds (we use an Owlet and her oxygen levels are al...

Rolling

My girls not long turned 5 months and she’s just learnt to roll back to front, but can’t roll front to back yet and I keep finding her at night time practising her rolling🤣 but she can’t get back, luckily she sleeps in her cot with a side taken down next to our bed so I can hear every movement and turn her right…

Changing nappies

Anyone got any advice for changing nappies? My little boy scream bloody murder every time and get himself in such a state. So I normally try and time it in line with a feed so I can feed him afterwards which calms him down. Should I be doing it after a feed instead? Or when he’s in deep sleep in between feeds? Or is...

Noise around babies when sleeping

My LO is 10 months old, because I have my own place, my LO has always slept in a very quiet environment (white noise or some kind of lullaby is always on in the background) and I’ve always kept it that way as I was worried of waking the baby up. But, now have to come to realise that, that’s probably not the best app...

Has anyone had this at night with there children

My son is 3 and currently got a uti and is on antibiotics. He has had a runny nose in the day but he doesn’t sound blocked up in the day. But as soon as he sleeps he sounds like this. And keeps waking himself up. Has anyone experienced this before? Thanks

Night feeds

When are you feeding baby through the night? My LO feeds every 3 hours through the day, so through the night I’ve been setting my alarm to get up and make her bottle, so she’s ready for a feed every 3 hours. But should I just be waiting for her to wake me up? I’m so worried I won’t wake up if she’s crying, or I wo...

Flat head

So my mil has pointed out my lo has a slight flattening of the side they lay on to feed. LO is 12 weeks old. He usually falls asleep as he feeds. I do all the tummy time etc and keep him off it in his awake windows. But it's still flatish. Anyone else had the same issue?

Wakes up crying 1 hour after going to bed???

Does anyone else's child wake up crying their eyes out about 1 hour after falling asleep at night??? And I mean he stirs and changes position like they do when they shift between sleep cycles, then starts absolutely wailing as if he's completely distraught about something. Sometimes I'm not even sure if he fully wak...

Crying for long periods

Anyone else's babe cry for long periods at night? Around the same time my baby cries about 7pm every night without fail. I've tried everything and although she does have gut issues, in my heart I don't think that's what is upsetting her. She's absolutely fine all day until bed time then cries for a few hours until s...

False starts

Anyone else's baby have a false start every single night? My little boy has at least one and sometimes 3 false starts over 2 hours before he finally goes down for the night. We've tried changing bedtime and wake windows both ways and it hasn't helped
