37 weeks how are you guys getting comfortable at night?

At night my hips and legs hurt, and he starts stretching and pushing his feet
or knees out of me so hard I feel sick then just so uncomfortable. I'm happy he has some strong legs but I really want to sleep before he gets here!

Girl my baby is the same she loves swinging her feet from side to side at night when I'm ready to go to sleep... it is so painful I usually just take some deep breaths and try to distract myself with TV... it's a struggle though and NOT easy!

My son is the same. He loves to stretch his feet and knees they end up in my ribs and makes everything uncomfortable asf. I noticed that when I go for a walk in the evenings before bed he sleeps better through the night and I have some peace in the morning hours. I make sure I drink less water I put pillows everywhere because I mostly sleep sitting up the heartburn and his little feet be giving my ribs the business lol or I’ll take a warm/hot shower eat great something that’s not sugary then lay in the quiet no lights no sounds just my breathing and I talk to him. Eventually I drift off and he seems to do the same. The walks help with hip and leg pain for me or I’ll do some stretches and squats throughout the day.

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

4 month bed time

What time do you put your babies to bed?
What time do you start your 'routine?'
My LO currently goes to bed around 10.30pm, and I know i need to start bringing it forward. Everytime ive tried, it takes longer for my LO to settle.
We are exclusively breastfeeding. Any advice Mamas?

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 🤣
