Over-active baby

Does anyone have a really active/energetic baby that just cant get to sleep during the day? We used to be okay after the 4 month regression. I could lay him down and then stay with him for a long time with my hand on his back until he finally fell asleep. Now, I put him in his bed and he just does not try anymore. N...

Breastfeeding (how long per breast?)

Breastfeeding mums how long do your babies feed per breast? Do you feed both in one feed or just the one? How long do your babies feed for and how many times a day? My baby is 14 weeks and it feels like she snacks lots of times rather than feed for a long time. She's slow in gaining weight, so wanting to have an ide...

Putting baby down

Any tips to get baby to nap independently? She sleeps on me for like 2 hours but nothing when in crib or nest (supervised) I’m desperate to be able to make a meal or nap myself. LO is 8 weeks.

Sleep

Do any of you feel like your babies sleep too much ? And they have smaller wake windows between feeding? My daughter was born at 36+4 now 7 weeks and I feel like she doesn’t stay awake for too long. Shes my second so I’m comparing to my son.

Sleeping bags - 9 month old

What sleeping bags are you all using for your 9 month olds? Once we transitioned out of the 0-6m the sizing goes to 6-18 which is way too long. Has anyone found any sleeping bags that are on the shorter side or brands that do 6-12m

Toddlers

Is anyone else struggling with their 19 month old at the minute? Everything I do she twists and that’s with all her needs met. She’s awful in her pram and I really struggle taking her anywhere.

Still have a Lump in breast

So I went to the doctor 2 days ago…. They told me it’s a clogged milk duct (they think) . They just felt around on it and that’s what they came up with. NOTHING im doing is making it go away or even get smaller. What should I do ? I’m at my wits end. It doesn’t hurt unless I push really hard. The doctor said hot com...

Dummy thoughts

How are your little ones doing with dummys (if they take one)? My little boy loves his for naps and sleep. He uses it to fall asleep and once he’s dropped off it falls out of his mouth. He doesn’t feed during the night (last feed at 8pm) but since he has hit the regression he now wakes on average 6/7 times between ...
