Hi so I have a 6 month old little boy, who had been sleeping fine from about 7:30/8pm till about 7am now he keeps waken could be 2am or 5am not crying just awake making noises could take me an hour to get him back to sleep 🙈🙈 and then wakes at about 6:40/7am up for the day 🙈🙈 then only getting naps of 35mins long
Any ideas as to how I can get him to stay asleep during the night??

Bath time

When did people start using products in the bath? I’ve just started using baby body wash tonight & hoping he doesn’t come up in a rash.. is it too early as he is 4 weeks old

Breastfeeding advice

I’ve just seen this and thought YES to everything so thought I’d share! As a second time mum I had all of these and almost gave up because of the first one!!

Autism

I have been noticing everyone I know that as a boy 2-5 years has been diagnosed with autism. Has anyone else noticed this or maybe I’m just noticing this out of concern for my 10 month old boy.

Swing or bassinet

We've been co-sleeping/bed-sharing with our one month old (5 weeks tomorrow) since she and I came home from the hospital. While I love the cuddles I do want our bed back too. I will add too, that we try to make it as safe as possible and want her in a safe situation. She doesn't like sleeping by herself, however we've been putting her in her swing (pic below) close to daily, since she came home and at first she only liked it for a few minutes, now it could be an hour, before she protests, asleep or awake! She likes the music and rocking motion it seems and seems fascinated by the mobile when she's awake and not sleepy. We can probably get her used to the bassinet in a similar way, but I'm wondering if we should just get two of these? My husband says the music would drive him crazy, lol, but we could just do it with white noise and see if it has the same effect. He's saying it's probably good for her to learn how to sleep in different conditions. I do agree, as our older daughter can't take naps at friends' houses and stuff. Just not sure of the best route here. Anyway tia!

Cry

Hey! I just need some advice, please.

My nearly 6 week old girl is so unsettled. She eats well and naps well, however when she’s awake she’s fine for about 5 minutes and then starts crying. I settle her, but 5 minutes later it happens again. This goes on until her next feed.

I’m convinced she hates me 😓 What am I doing wrong?

I change her nappies (sometimes too often 😁) I feed her (Kendamil formula 4oz around every 2-3 hrs) and I always make sure she burps. We go for walks, I play with her, and I let her sit in her bouncer. I’ve literally tried everything but she still seems so unsettled after just 5 minutes 😢😢

Falling Over

Hey mums.

I’m in need of some peace of mind.

My little one is 11 months, less than a month until 1. She has recently started moving around, sitting up crawling, rolling. And she has no fear. She’s fallen over a few times and hit her head.

I am first aid trained as I work with children but no I’m a mum for the first time when she hurts hardly I automatically panic.

Every time she hits her head I put a cold compress and keep her wake. But I just need to know if I’m doing right by her or if I should be doing something else.
