A million miles from self settling?

It’s the end of a wake window, nap due and on the huckleberry sweet spot.

I’ve put him down in a dark room with white noise - SURELY there is no way he’s going to settle like this?

Same here. My girl is not one for self settling either 😅

We did the ferber method with both kids and worked really well. Took 3 nights and now we just put her down and she goes to sleep xx

Self settling is a load of rubbish, dreamt up by the business of sleep training. Most babies can’t do it, mine didn’t until about 2 years old. Feed, rock, cuddle, do whatever baby needs.

My LO does exactly the same 🤣. Feed, rock and cuddle all the way 🙈

My LO does that, usually at 4am 😂 I need to rock to settle her back, sometimes even feed to sleep.

She can self soothe sometimes, on rare occasions. Sometimes she even puts her dummy back on. Other times she throws it on the floor. It’s very hit and miss

Hehehe. If your little one self soothes like this I would laugh. Sorry I laughed when he face planted the bed

Mine does this for hours if I let her 😂 no self soothing here. I don’t really believe in that anyway.

Funnnily enough my little one does this, and rolls around and sounds like he’s wide awake! I watch him on the monitor and he does fall asleep within 5-10 minutes! I thought that was self soothing lol
Maybe not 🤷🏻‍♀️ but he does sleep (most of the time) so I’m sticking with it for now lol x

When did you circumcise your baby?
If you DID NOT or DO NOT have a circumcised son DO NOT comment this post is not for you!

Did you wait a certain amount of time or have it done immediately?
Again respectfully, this is only for the parents who choose to do so.
opinions about how not necessary it is will not be appropriate for this post. Thank you in advance. 🩵

Can someone pls help i keep making this post and nobody is responding

My boyfriend booked a trip for us to go to mexico for a week as my push present. I have severe anxiety leaving my 7 month old with my mom. I know she will be in good hands but she’s exclusively breast fed for the most part but accepts bottles just fine. i have all my pumping parts packed and will pump when baby normally eats but i don’t want baby to forget me or have latch issues when i return!! any mommas ever experience this?

Postpartum

I’m only 3 days postpartum (FTM) and already have extremely bad anxiety. I’m crying every night, as I think of another night of no sleep. My baby will not settle in his cot, he cries every moment we put him down unless in his chair rocker. So me and my partner are having to alternate after 3/4 hours of being awake with him downstairs. I’m trying everything to get him to settle. It’s a load of overwhelming stress. I’m 23, I was desperate for a baby and now I have one and feel completely useless. I miss it just being me and my partner.

When does it get better?

I was crying on the phone with the perinatal mental health team today and the lovely lady, bless her, kept assuring me that it gets better. I kept telling her I hope so because people have been saying that since having my LO and it just feels like it keeps getting worse. She assured me it gets better....

Night time routine

Heya, my 3 week old daughter is currently exclusively breastfed and I’m not pumping. Can anyone recommend the best way to share the load with my partner? At the moment I’m doing all the feeds/burbs/settling and my partner is sleeping through which obviously isn’t sustainable, I’m trying to work out the best way to get him involved. Any advice very much appreciated!

Can someone speak on drug screening and c section?

I smoked all through my first pregnancy and tested positive didn’t have any issues a social worker came in and spoke to me and hubby and that was it but this time I’m having an elective c section and wondering did they drug test you there?
