I literally took this out today for the first time after having just bought it for my 5 week old and it was awful, had to stop every 5 mins as I could see she was slumping forwards. I’ve since seen many people advise it’s actually not suitable until 4 or 5 months which I can sadly confirm.

Do you know what centile your baby is plotting on? What age and size are they currently?

Most spin seats don't have a lot of longevity, particularly for heavier or taller kiddos.

She’s around 50th percentile in weight, when measured at 4.5 weeks. She’s very long though! Sounds like this was not a good purchase at all 😂 what a minefield this world of car seats

It really is! I started off with the infant seat that came with my travel system (most infant seats are constructed fairly similarly safety wise but some provide better fit than others depending on inserts) and then at 10 months we moved to the AxKid Move, which is great safety wise but is quite upright so when going for a next stage car seat for my incoming baby, we are going to opt for the Be Safe Stretch. Pretty pricey but a good investment I think!

I have this issue with slumping forward when sleeping for my two year old until I adjusted the leg and the recline position she slumped forward badly today in it but that was because I had put it full sit up and hadn't expected her to nap. Bit of a pain to spin but otherwise okay.

Not sure what’s wrong- 5months

Has anyone experienced any of the below problems with their baby?
He’s always a happy baby so this is completely not him. He’s a terrible sleeper but now it’s worse, if it could.

He’s was EBF but now on formula for the last 2 weeks. 2 days in a row now he’s vomitted a lot of milk out everywhere in the evening and just before bed.
For example I was walking around the room with him around 18:45 and it just came out of no where everywhere.

He’s very miserable and takes ages to get to sleep. Crying lots.
He’s been dribbling a lot, flushed one cheek but I can’t see any teeth coming.

All night he just won’t settle in his cot. Sometimes just starts crying hysterically and I can’t settle him at all.

A very tired mama.

Any advise on what it could be?

Help

My 5 week old is always up from 1am every hour grunting and squeaking and just won’t sleep. I end up having to bring him with me and I’m worried I’m creating a rod for my own back. I’m exhausted. First half of the night he’s okish. But from 1/2 it’s absolute hell. He farts a lot then as well but I just dunno what to do. Last night was the worst it’s been.

When do I drop the dream feed?

14 weeks old currently has last awake bottle at 7pm, then is asleep by 8ish downstairs.
Carry her up and she usually stirs so ive been giving her 5oz dream feed.which she drains
Then she is up at 2-3am for another feed and goes back down till 6/7am ish.

When do I up her oz bottles throughout the day and drop the dream feed?

She currently has 5oz bottles..80% of the time drains them, sometimes only has a little snack

Pregnancy insomnia??!

Hey, I’m 28 weeks and this is my 3rd baby. For the past 2 weeks I am able to get to sleep fine but really struggling with 3-4am wake ups. Once I wake up I cannot get back to sleep, meaning come 9-10am I am absolutely exhausted. Has anyone gone through this and is able to shed some tips on what might help

Side sleeping baby!

My little dude is 4.5 months old— he sleeps the best when he is on his side and when we pat his back. Whenever he shifts or moves to his back, he is much more likely to wake up (he’s already not sleeping much these days😅)

Do any of you have any suggestions for what works best for your little side sleepers to stay on their side? Or any items you use to help pat/move them overnight so you can also sleep?😅 TIA!

Naps!

My lo is 7.5 months and has recently struggled to be put in her cot for naps/sleep. She will sleep on me but as soon as I lie her down wide awake! Help!
