Yes every night I quickly got over it when he would sleep for longer 😂

Yep. I checked on him often at first, but he's been doing it for a couple months now so I don't worry about it. He just sleeps in his diaper and onesie, so there are no impediments if he needs to adjust.


He got himself into the position so it's fine. I still always put him on his back, but he usually rolls over immediately lol

yep my baby girl only sleeps on her belly and sometimes face down 😭 GP said babies their age understand when the airway is blocked though and automatically turn their head if they are uncomfortable so that made me feel better

As long as you put your baby flat on their back when they go to sleep, they should be good. If baby decides to roll onto their stomach and sleep that way, its totally fine😄 I was scared as hell when my one started doing it. But now I just let her.

When do things get easier?

As we entered the 9-12 month stage, my son started crawling and pulling himself up. He also became more clingy and does not play alone, still doesnt sleep through the night, and this week has been sick (so EVERYTHING amplified). I am tired and overwhelmed. Please lie and tell me things get better. 🥺

Colostrum storing?

Has anyone successfully extracted colostrum before the baby’s born? Apparently it gets produced from 16w pregnant and you can start storing it in the freezer but I’m 34w looking at my nipples and the syringes on amazon wondering how it works?? Like what did you use and did it hurt? 🥲

Self settling

Any tips or advice of how to teach 6.5month old to self settle? I’m up multiple times in the night to cuddle her back to sleep and put the dummy in. I understand she will wake up and want a cuddle etc but any tips on self settling would be appreciated 🥰

Baby losing weight

Hi all, it's been a long time since I had a baby (my son is 15!). My daughter is 10 days old and was 9lb born, she has since lost weight at every appointment and is at a 12% loss. I am breast feeding every two hours for over an hour and topping her up every feed. I pump and can get 60ml in 10 minutes so I know my supply is okay. Anyone had this before? Can give me some tips? I currently feel like I'm letting my baby down.
