Do you think my baby isn’t ready for baby sensory classes?

He’s three and a half months so still pretty young and every time we got to baby sensory classes, which is only 30min, he ends up crying as he just gets so overwhelmed. After there is often a coffee shop visit with the other moms but he just ends up being really fussy and ends up screaming.

Could it be too much, too soon?
Or is it good for him and his brain development??

Just to note when he’s in the class he usually is smiling and seems relaxed taking it all in. Then it all goes down hill
:-(

It is a good time in the day for him, nap-wise? If it's close to when he's due a sleep, he could just be fussy due to tiredness and overstimulation.

It depends on the baby a lot, you should try shorter time maybe, not go to the coffee shop etc. My son is 15 months, we go to some playgroups but he can still get overstimulated sometimes as he is very sensitive to sounds like his dad, so sometimes I might need to leave early or not go alltogether if he has a fussy day.

So I would say see how it goes and expect each time to be different, they are very unpredictable at this age

If we have to sterilise baby bottles, dummy’s ect.
Do we also sterilise baby cutlery?

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?

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?

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.

Introducing dummy

Did you find that your baby slept better once a dummy was introduced? Also which dummy would you recommend for breastfeeding babies?

Wake windows

My 12 week old can just about do 60mins. I've tried extending it but she gets overtired really quickly.

What's everyone else's wake windows and how many hours are your babies napping?
