Bedsharing

I never planned to be in the position I'm in where baby boy is in my bed most of the time. The last two weeks, he has had terrible gas at night, and it causes him to wake up. My husband works nights, so it's just me and baby. I follow safe sleep and lullaby trust, but I can't help but worry. I don't breastfeed, so it's not like it's for that. He went from sleeping through to waking like this. I get one or two good nights, then back to this.

I end up cosleeping quite often. I know it can be scary but I really feel if you follow the safe sleeping guidance it's low risk, especially now our babies are that bit bigger. Really hope things improve for you!

@Angharad I know and I hope so my husband getvin from work and will just climb over to his side instead of trying to move our bot in the past he did but it woke him up and I was not impressed. My philosophy is you wake it you take it. Xx

We are the same in my house, if my little boy wakes up through the night and won't go back down I just take him into bed with us xxx

My baby since turning 4 months won’t sleep in her own bed for longer than 30mins-1hr at the most if I’m lucky and she used to be pretty good before I never planned on bed sharing but had to so we both get some sleep

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?

When do things get easier?

As we entered the 9-12 month stage, my son started crawling and pulling himself up. He also became more clingy and does not play alone, still doesnt sleep through the night, and this week has been sick (so EVERYTHING amplified). I am tired and overwhelmed. Please lie and tell me things get better. 🥺

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?
