Baby Girl Won’t Sleep on Her Back

Hi all, I have an almost 5-week old who seems to hate sleeping on her back! She keeps rolling on to her side to sleep or loves to lay on her front. The internet is scaring the hell out of me with the risk of SIDS but every single time I put her down to sleep on her back, she wakes up and cries. Anyone else having th...

Newborn legs shaking

Does this look normal? My 3 week old keeps having periods where his legs just shake uncontrollably for a couple of seconds. I know the video isn’t the clearest so I will try and get another one!

I think I hate my baby

I’m loosing my sanity and I don’t know how long I can keep going. My baby’s almost three months and her sleep is awful. She clings onto me and refuses for me to put her down. I’m not getting nearly enough sleep and everytime I give her to someone else she screams murder until I hold her. I’m not getting the support ...

Twin-specific transition to beds

1 of our 2yos is able to climb out of his cot now so we plan to take sides down. I've done it before for a singleton so not looking for advice on the transition itself but interested to know how people managed it with twins? Did you do 1 child at a time or both at once? Any other tips etc? Thanks!

Incredibly sore nipple! Help!

My baby prefers feeding on the left, and since yesterday my left nipple has been so painful, especially when she latches. It’s to the point that I can’t even face feeding her on that side. Does anyone have any tips on how to make it feel better fast? I’ve been applying lansinoh frequently, but it’s so engorged I’m n...

earlier wake up😖

my baby has started to wake up at 5:30! she would normally wake between 6:30/7, i thought it was because her room was lighter but i changed that with some blackout blinds and it’s still the same🥲 she has her last bottle at 7pm and can go until 7am without another she’s not hungry. She still has 3 naps: 8:30am, 12pm…

Baby cried hysterically for 2h last night until i put him in my bed

My son is little over 8m now and has never slept well, but recently he wakes up hysterically crying and would not be put down. Last night the only thing that worked is getting him in our bed which is a habit we eliminated a couple of weeks ago. Is that another sleep regression? Is it separation anxiety? Does it go a...

Sleeping

Waking up through the night on my back. I’m putting pillows round me and trying to side sleep but always waking up on my back. It’s upsetting me now as I’m 32 weeks.

Morning wriggles

I know it’s normal for babies to wriggle and grunt in the early hours but at what point are you tending to them? My LO isn’t crying but sounds really frustrated and will eventually properly wake up. I don’t know if I should wait until he gets a bit upset to go to him coz im doubtful he’d ever fall back asleep on his...

Anyone else?

LO is 11 weeks. She sleeps well in her next to me crib for the first part of the night eg 8:30pm-1am but 1am onwards she feeds frequently (or just uses me as a human dummy), and hates being put down in her next to me crib. So I find myself having to nurse her pretty much all the time to soothe her. She won’t take a ...
