Always unhappy & tired

Our little one has just turned 16 months but she always seems so unhappy and tired. It's making things so difficult at the moment. She sleeps great through the night but during the day she's just sooo sleepy and always seems really unhappy with everything we do. Anyone else in the same boat?

How long can your baby be left alone while they are awake

Our 6-week boy can occasionally be left in a bouncer for 20 mins top before he gets fussy and has to be picked up. Wonder if we should try putting him somewhere else so we can have a longer stretch to do housework. He can sleep no problem in a sling but just want to see if anyone has success with other things.

We’ve used gas drops and gripe water and hold him upright for 30 mins after breastfeeding him but it seems to not make much of a difference. Any tips on how to help my baby be more peaceful at night? This is also causing him to ...

Poop frequency increased.

My baby is 4 months and is breast fed. Recently she has been pooping more. She often poops while feeding several times a day. She used to do this as a new born but it had gone down to 1-2 times a day with the occasional day of none. Now she goes at least 3 times most days. Anyone else found this?
