Has anyone experienced there babies waking up middle of the night saying no? my 2 year old little boy wakes up most nights saying no as if he’s upset and crying but there’s no tears and still seems to be asleep. is it anything to worry about do you think? i’m not sure what to think on it

My son does this too sometimes! Also says "mummy up cuddles" freaks me right out because he's definitely still asleep! I put it down to dreaming about his day ?😅

i have no clue i tend not to pick him up as he’s never asked me too and will only say no once or twice then instantly back to sleep apparently can be down to stress or night terrors x

yeah I thought nightmares too , when he was tiny he'd cry a little in his sleep , its heartbreaking but must just be their little brains working things through? I don't touch my boy either unless i know for sure he's awake ! 🥺x

yeh exactly don’t wanna end up waking them haha it’s upsetting to hear but then again even awake recently he is obsessed with the work no haha i dunno maybe overthinking it x

Our boy sleep talks too! We find it hilarious. The other night he was like 'bless you mummy!' So he must have dreamed I was sneezing. Another night daddy was 'falling' and he found it hilarious and started giggling. Cutest things 🤣 I think they're just dreaming ❤️

Naps in the car

I'm currently sitting in the car on my drive (with the windows open) because my 6 month old fell asleep only 20 minutes ago so I'm letting her finish up the nap.

Got me thinking though - as it gets warmer, are people still leaving their babies to finish their nap if they fall asleep or are you taking them in right away as it's getting warmer (14 degrees where I am today)?

MIL kissing baby

My baby girl was born on 2/17/26, my husband and I told our immediate family no kisses at all, wash hands etc. For the first 2 times his family visited they followed the rules and to be honest I didn’t let them hold her because I had a feeling. But since they seemed to be respecting it I let them hold her on the 3rd time and everything seemed fine. The 4th visit she came up to us and straight went to kiss her head, it gave me no time to respond. I got very upset and went upstairs with her. My husband followed asking if I needed help, I told him I was very upset and just said just drop it. Fast forward a few days and she gets sick. He refuses to accept it was from her, he keeps saying it was probably him. They wanted to come over for Easter and I said no, I am still very upset. She has been the only one breaking the rule, my mom was here helping me out with baby and the house stuff for about a month and she respected it from day 1. We have gone to several doctor appt and ER visits because she was not getting better. Its been over a week now and she seems to be on the mend now. My husband always gets upset because I get upset when his family does stuff like this. Any advise?

Am I interacting enough with baby?

My little girl is 3 weeks old. Im EBF.
When shes awake I feed her, either have a cuddle with her or place her in her rocker with lullabies.
I read her a 1 or 2 stories a day or sing nursery rhymes.
She isn't a fan of her play matt yet for tummy tine or on her back. She'd rather be in her rocker or having cuddles. She has tummy time on mine and partners chest and she does lift her head but just doesnt like on the matt yet.

She really only cries if she wants feeding or is getting her nappy changed so its easy to sometimes leave her chilling in the moses basket or rocker in the day.
Is there anything else I could/should be doing with her?
We have a black and white contrast card book but she doesnt seem to focus on it yet. Any tips?
We are bathing about 2 times a week since her cord fell off and her skins quite dry.

What are good ways of learning my 15 month old to speak?

Eg. Toys, videos or just anything really

Transition to solids

My baby is exclusively breast fed. I have started giving purees and mashed food but she takes it very less, mostly getting all nutrients through breastmilk only. Just anxious if they really stat preferring food over milk? Maybe in next 2-3 months? Also are your breastfed babies waking up every 2-3 hours during night for feed? Is this also gonna stop when they start on food. Just curious as I don’t know how will I resume work with this schedule .
