Cosleeping

My LO will only sleep 2-2.5hours UNLESS we cosleep. Cosleeping they can go 4-5 hours and it’s AMAZING! They’re rested, we’re rested. But I feel SO guilty! But why is it that they’ll go so much longer cause that’s insane that it’s such a difference..

Because it’s biologically normal and so comforting. Why do you feel guilty? If you’re both sleeping better, and you’re safely co sleeping, enjoy the rest! It won’t last forever (the co sleeping, not the rest haha).

I started co sleeping as it's the only way I was able to get sleep! Why do you feel guilty?!!

Because we are pack animals and our young are meant to be with us almost all the time. Especially even sleeping. We’ve coslept with all our kids. It’s the best thing for them and us. Even according to science. Cosleeping until 7yr old has amazing benefits

Same here! My first son slept great, but this baby has some tummy issues that are only comforted with cosleeping. It makes me nervous to be honest, so I’m hoping his stomach strengthens up soon and he can sleep in the bassinet. I don’t think we should feel guilty though, we have to do what’s best for us and the baby 🫶🏻

As long as your following the safe 7 rules for COsleeling don’t feel guilty. I Coslept with all 3 of my babies

Blood in baby’s poo

Ladies, I’ve just changed my baby and noticed some blood on his poo and on the diaper. The poo was quite soft, not pebbly and he wasnt straining or anything like that. Anyone had anything like this before? What is it? Shall i call the GP?

Help

Hi mamas! Has anyone dealt with their baby’s hair clumping at the back of their head? I tried baby oil to loosen it but no luck so far. Any advice?

Struggling

My baby’s 5 weeks old and I am really struggling. I knew it would be hard but it’s so much harder in reality. She won’t be put down without waking up after 5 minutes. Won’t be put down at night either. I can’t do anything without doing it one handed holding her. Every night she spends hours being stressed and crying and really difficult to console, fighting sleep and nothing I do seems to help her for more than 30 seconds. I’m just putting this out there wondering if others are going through the same. It’s a lot.
