Baby putting blanket over face

So for bed I put my baby boy in a long sleeve vest, bqbygrow and 2.5 tog sleeping bag however with it getting colder through the night when he’s been waking up on a morning his hands and face are like ice. I want to put a blanket on him as well to keep his hands warm but he’s putting it over his face can’t win hahah😂 what does everyone else do?

Gloves underneath babygrow mits or socks if gloves don’t stay on x

I would add socks and mittens and perhaps even put the heating on just for an hour or so to heat up a bit before a blanket. I get quite anxious with blankets and sleeping! Are you tucking it under the mattress? That being said babies do wake up if they get too cold so if he’s not waking then I imagine he’s okay. Better to be cold and he wake up than he overheat x

I do it with my little girl it's normal for some babies it's a comfort thing what I did was get a breathable blanket I got mine of amazon hers the link https://www.amazon.co.uk/dp/B08KY7DCYZ/ref=sspa_mw_detail_1?ie=UTF8&psc=1&sp_csd=d2lkZ2V0TmFtZT1zcF9waG9uZV9kZXRhaWwp13NParams

We put a cellular blanket over her so it she does pull it over her face it’s not a massive issue as she can breath through it x

My LO has woken up for 2 days in a row at around 5am, his hands and cheeks are ice cold so I think we need to put the heating on tonight and see if that will keep him asleep, or it might be easier to add socks to his hands instead, once he’s awake he will be ok to go back to sleep after 30mins or so but it’s not ideal for us all to have such broken sleep as he is still waking up for feeds as well

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?

Not drinking

I’m going crazy. Baby born at 2.26kg. Slow to put on weight. This last week hasn’t put on any. Been trying to feed him at night and he’s not interested at all. Fast asleep. During day he will have 5 minute gulps and that’s it. He don’t cry for milk. I’ve got to keep offering to him. I try to offer it every hour but I don’t know what I’m doing. HV said nutrition comes after 5 minutes so I should pump first and then give him. I find it so hard. I tried to pump one boob nothing came. The other abit came. Tried giving him express he’s not interested in that too. Sometimes he will go for a longer a feed but not long at all. He’s 4 months and is currently 5.46kg. I have no family or friend support here and wish I had a cook, cleaner and nanny to help with everything so I can concentrate on the little one. I don’t know what’s wrong with him but I’m loosing it. It doesn’t help that my also stressed generally about my relationship and life circumstances. Any advice that will work. Any comfort you can give. I’m fed up. Is this regression - not feeding. He’s fast fast asleep. I’ve been trying to push the nipple in but that mouth is closed shut. I took some clothes off. Changed his nappy but he’s still asleep. Please help

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?

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 🤣

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?
