My LO stopped sleeping in her next to me a couple of days ago. She was never a good sleeper but we got her to at least sleep in her own space on her back between 10 pm-4 am (with feeding breaks, EBF).

Nightmare Nap settling!

Please can someone tell me that I’m not alone 🤣🙏🏼!! To put my baby down for his nap we’ve been really lucky that we just put him in his cot and he takes himself off to sleep.

Constipating

Hello house ! I am a first time mum, I’m bottle feeding and breastfeeding . It takes my baby three to four days to poo and anytime he wants to poo he’s always pressing hard and crying to poo. I’ve started giving him water in between feeds but no charges . What can I do as I am concerned! Thank you

Baby poop

My baby is combo fed so her poop colour changes day to day. I’ve just gone to change her and I’ve seen this (pic in comments), does this look normal? Usually it’s more green but this is 2 completely different colours. Not sure if I should be worried 😅
