Is my baby sleeping too much?

My baby slept from 10pm last night, it’s nearly lunch and he’s still sleeping? Woke him up briefly to feed once in the morning, he woke up for 2 mins (crying) then slept again after comforted?? He’s 2months old I’m just wondering if this is normal as it worries me he’s asleep for so long!

Missed a dentist appointment

I feel absolutely awful ridden with the worst mum guilt. I am a bit of a scatter brain I try my best to remember stuff but I always seem to forget 😢.

Sleeping on tummy

So my 4 month old has consistently been rolling onto her tummy for sleeping for about 3 weeks now. Do you think it’ll be okay if I put her on her side in her bed and let her roll onto her tummy for her day naps? She’ll only sleep half an hour if on her back and I don’t want to be nap trapped cause the housework is...

Car seat advice

FTM here. Following guidance for weight and length of our little girl, we’ve taken the newborn insert out of the car seat. Does this look okay to people? I’m so anxious travelling with her as it is, I just want to make sure she’s okay in the car.

Starting to really hate breastfeeding

I’m really struggling to breastfeed, my daughter latches then lets go then screams I’m forever swapping breasts and I just feel it’s not working for us. I’ve done 2 weeks so far with the odd instant formula and some days we do well others are hell. I’m not enjoying it which I’m really gutted about

RSV vaccine

Does anyone know how late we can have this done? How many weeks were you when you got it? I'm 32+4 but haven't had the vaccine yet as I've been really unwell recently and on antibiotics so my GP surgery wouldn't book me in. I'm feeling better now but wondering if I've missed the boat on this...
