Anyone else have gas problems with their newborn?

Our baby is the sweetest thing and so easy. But she's been getting upset when she needs to fart/poop, not always, but enough for me to make my first post. Feel bad for the poor sausage. Have been doing massages. Any advice or tips?

Ms Rachel ??

How many of you are putting ms Rachel on??? I’ve just introduced it to my 8 month old and it’s like sorcery. I feel so guilty putting it on because LO don’t take his eyes off the screen, but it’s the only way I’m getting 20/30 minutes during Velcro baby stage. I’ll put it on twice a day for up to 30 mins at a time, the rest of the time we’re out the house, playing with toys or he’s with me doing jobs around the house. Should I even feel guilty?😩

Thoughts on this pram?

I’m 18 weeks pregnant and thinking of prams to get my baby. I saw this on Amazon and it seems affordable, plus the reviews are very positive about the quality of the product. Are there any mamas in the group that got this specific model? If so, how did you find it?

I am almost 3 weeks postpartum and still bleeding. Can I use tampons yet?

I am so sick of using pads. It’s been almost 3 weeks and I am still bleeding. Can I use tampons yet?

Baby cutlery

Out of curiosity.
If we have to sterilise baby bottles, dummy’s ect.
Do we also sterilise baby cutlery?

Moving while asleep

My 12 week old has been sleeping through the night (8 hours) for the last week and a half and since the 3rd or 4th night he's been wriggling his way to the other end of his crib to the point where his head is cocked to the side
He seems fine but it looks uncomfortable and ive always been told he needs to have his feet touching the bottom of his bed and if I move him back he wakes up.
Has anyone else experienced this? Did you leave it? Are there any potential issues if I do leave it?

Night wakes

I don’t mind waking in the night for my baby. But every 2 hours, sometimes 1 is starting to have an impact on me. His sleep changed when he turned 3 months. We have had a couple nights of longer stretches, but that was all for the last 5 weeks. I just want a longer stretch back. 😅 I am aware it is so developmentally normal to wake at this age. I did expect to have slightly longer stretches by now though. I understand it could be a regression!

In my head this is my life now. When you are in it, it seems forever. It doesn’t help society has expectations of longer sleep as the baby comes out of the newborn stage. I am not looking for advice as I know it’s a phase, just reassurance!

Please don’t comment if your baby sleeps through the night 😂
