Sizes🤯

I’m either going mad, have baby brain or just blonde😂 so I’ve got sleepsuits that say up to 3 months & on the others it says 0-3 months. Do I separate them to what it says or do I put the up to 3 and 0-3 together?🫠

I am tired and stressed ☹️

I have a 5 day old, who was not a problem at all at first. But now I’m struggling to get him to sleep in his cot. He will inconsolably cry until he’s on my chest but every time I put him back down he starts to cry. I don’t want to fall asleep whilst he’s on my chest because of the risks but I’m just so tired and it ...

Safe-sleeping cots?

Anyone recommend of any good (not super expensive) certified safe cots? I have a Moses basket but not really sure what to get after and how long they’re supposed to be in those for.

Dropping the dream feed?

My 6m old boy is breastfed and just starting solids. His bedtime is around 6:30-7pm and I dream feed him at 10pm before I go to bed. For the past month he has been sleeping through until 7am. He dropped the 4am feed on his own, but I don’t know if this was just luck. I’d really like to drop this dream feed, but I’...

Sleep times?

What time are you putting your babies to sleep and what time are they waking up? We currently do 7:30pm and she wakes anywhere between 4/5am and it’s KILLINGGGG ME! I read online somewhere that putting them to sleep earlier allows them to sleep in later🤷🏼‍♀️ so we are trying 6:30 bedtime tonight!

Bottles / food in a day

I’m after some advice. We were having baby a bottle when she woke from her nap at 3ish then yea 4:30 then bedtime bottle at 6:30/7 but she throws it up and I think it’s because she’s probably had too much food. Should I cut the middle bottle out and keep to morning and njfht? Can someone share their schedule for 6...

Annoying next to me crib

Anyone else find they’re next to me cribs really annoying? It’s hard to get out of bed because you have to shuffle down and they take up a lot of room. I’m trialing moving mine slightly away from the bed to enable me to move around a bit better. Has anyone else found this?

Gradually weaning off dummy tips?

Anyone managed to get rid of the dummy yet without going cold turkey? I think it's disrupting sleep more than helping now as she isn't learning to self soothe without it, and I'm putting it back in so many times a night 😩😴 broken sleep is the worst!!

To dummy or not to dummy

Our baby girl is almost 6 weeks old now and so far we have been fine without a dummy. I have tried once with one last week but she just didn’t want it and kept spitting it out unless I held it there then she just got really stressed out and cried. So basically I am thinking we might just not need one? Or do we? Wha...
