Dealing with the heat

Looking for some advice, my little one is in their own room, and it’s currently showing as 29°

I’ve got windows open and baby is dressed in a thin sleepsack with nappy underneath and isn’t hot to the touch (if anything may be a little cool) but unsure if I should be trying to do anything to lower the temperature in the bedroom/any ideas how to!

My little one has been sleeping in just her vest and my son in his vest and pants. If you find it warm in the room it’ll be grand with the window open slightly and no blankets because it’s always easier to warm them up rather than cool them down x

My LO's is reading at 30° 🥵 I've got everything going to try and cool it but nothing is working. She's sleeping in a nappy tonight and I think I'm just preparing for extra wake ups. I've set up her travel cot in the living room just in case as it's a bit cooler down here (not much!)
I also don't normally need to feed her until she wakes up early hours of thr morning but just offered some boob and she had a really good drink so could be worth just having some water ready in case LO needs a little hydration in the night!

My lo just fought his wake feed like hell and I think that's the heat. It's 26 in my room and he's in a sleeved vest and very thin sleep bag. It's a struggle to get him to sleep without the bag and he wakes constantly without sleeves. He is mainly sweaty when he's leaning against me ugh this is a hard time for a baby who needs to be rocked to sleep. Leaves us both hot and bothered. Bring on Monday when the world cools down abit

Sleeping bag

8 week old in sleeping bag for first time as big enough! Do you feed your child in the night whilst in the sleeping bag or taken them out, feed then transfer back to sleeping bag before putting down?

Leaky nappy help

What nappies are you using to stop leaks?? We use pampers ultra dry size 5, and for the past few nights he has lashed through and we’ve had to completely change him during the night. Last night he leashed through twice!! He sleeps on his front and stays leaks through at the top of his leg where the tabs connect. Didn’t know whether to size up, he has a bit of a belly on him but he’s smack in middle of weight guidance so shouldn’t need too

My little one is struggling with sleep

Hey! I'm in need of some advice please girls! My little boy is 20 months turns 21 months in 2 half weeks. He use to sleep through the night now he is waking up every single night in the early morning, I've had to transition him to a toodler bed as he kept climbing out his cot. Just need some advice on what I can do to help him get back in to a sleep pattern?

6 month old autistism

My 6 month old makes no eye contact with me and doesn’t respond when I call him. Can this just be a phase or personality trait as apposed to autism

New born

Finally had my baby girl via C-section on the 18th, everything has been so far. But I’ve noticed she’s very fussy and cries a lot. I’ve been trying to exclusively breastfeed. The lactation consultant at the hospital said I did look like I’m making enough milk for her. She was latching on good at the hospital and now here at home, she doesn’t seem to want to latch at all. She’s been crying a lot and very fussy. I’m just wondering is she’s colic or like maybe she just doesn’t want the breast anymore?

5.30am wakeups 😫😴

My 15 week old has started waking up about 5.30am and is really hard to settle back down - it’s like he thinks it’s time to wake up for the day. He used to go to bed at 9pm and was up at 8am but now he goes to bed between 7.30-8pm as he’s knackered by then but waking up at 5.30am😴. Any advice to get him to sleep a little longer in the morning?! Even an extra hour would be lovely 🤣
