February 2026 Babies 🇬🇧

Before I gave birth to my newborn I took my 3 year old to nursery and back in a stroller. The smallest things can trigger a tantrum. Next week my husband has to go into the office so cannot do the pick up. I want to use this as an opportunity to overcome my fear and do the pick up. I don't have a sling so will be putting newborn in the carrycot and get my 3 year old to walk to and from the bus stops. Has anyone got any tips or should I not send him? My newborn hates going out too and not sure if he'll cry throughout.

My LO is 7 weeks old. He usually sleeps 2-3 hour stretches. Towards the morning around 4am onwards everyday he only sleeps in 45 min-55 min cycles. Last night he did it from 2:30am and I’m exhausted. Anyone else experiencing this? What can I do?

Any tips for a 4 (or almost 5 week old) baby to help relieve tummy gas and poo. She seems to have the same pattern of pooing in the morning and then struggling in the afternoon/evening. We do bicycle legs and I know it’s likely them not knowing how to poo yet - but any tips welcome!

My 4 week old wakes once/ twice in the night. Problem is that the wake period is really long. It’s not that he’s awake for the whole time, but he struggles to get comfy again in his next to me. It often means I’m awake from about 2-4am and then he wakes again around 6 and we don’t get back to sleep after that one. We don’t get to sleep until around 10:30/11 as that is when he has his evening feed. My toddler is also waking in the night too sometimes. I’m so so tired that I can’t think straight and I’m also doing nursery runs/ looking after a toddler at the same time as a newborn and just feeling really overwhelmed. My husband helps out but he’s back at work and is knackered too. Is anyone else having similar issues?

Anyone else’s baby on gaviscon and seem like they burp less but more easily?
