Leg stuck in cot bars

Baby’s leg got stuck between the cot bars last night, was wearing a sleep sack and still managed it, was so scary! Anyone else had this? Can I do anything to prevent it again? Thanks

Im not sure they say bumpers aren’t recommended. You’d think the sleep sack would help. I think it’s just going to happen I can’t think of what could prevent it sorry. Useless comment really xx

We had this for a while & she just learned not to do it to be honest so we just had to ride it out x

I know they say not to use bumpers but we got mesh ones that tie to the cot and they also have Velcro so it’s like double protection and our little one has never managed to get them off completely as of yet and it’s helped massively to stop his legs being stuck. I would say if you’re open to getting them then get ones like that as it’s much better and personally I’d rather not deal with broken legs / arms. I think if there’s a day he’s able to undo both parts all round the cot and take it off then I will remove it

They eventually learn to not do it, I rode it out, it was the safest option x

Help! First time mum -

I have a 4 month old and now all of a sudden when he’s been asleep for 1hr30/2hrs he will wake up screaming (high pitched) I’ve tried winding him sometimes that helps, I’ve tried bicycle legs & bringing his knees up but that doesn’t seem to help but he brings his knees up himself sometimes but nothing happens. I’ve noticed since the 4 month mark he has started to struggle passing wind downwards! Any tips?

Bath Time

Help! My baby is 3 and a half weeks old. Every bath she goes in quite happy but will only stay like this for a very few mins, if I try to clean her or move her we have tears and after a few mins the same. It's like she is scared. Our current baby bath is quite big should I try a different one? Looking for any suggestions as want her to enjoy bath time not be upset and I'm scared I'm going to make her hate it😢💗

Crying during feeding

Hey mams! My girl is 6 weeks on Monday and is having so much trouble with feeding. It doesn’t happen every feed but more often than not she will start a bottle and just start crying as if she’s in pain and she can’t take the milk. I think it’s trapped wind but I genuinely don’t know what to do it’s so pitiful to see her not be able to feed! She’s formula fed and on HiPP Organic.
Anyone else been in this position? I’m pretty sure it’s just a bit of trapped wind that she needs to fart out but can’t! If anyone has any advice I’d be very grateful as I think I may need to tape my eyelids open soon 😂

No more naps! 10 month old

For a few days now my 10m old has fought her 2 daily naps. Normally her wake windows were 3-4 hours and she is now eventually napping after a 6 hour wake window. Today was only one nap, she skipped the second one. Used to nap like clockwork so I’m wondering if anyone else is experiencing this? Also very unsettled most nights and doesn’t sleep well at all
