👋🏻 I did manage to get her to settle in hospital but it's our first night at home and I've given up trying to put her down 🥹

Also our first night at home, he managed about an hour at the start of the night and absolutely no chance since 😭

Hopefully just them settling in 🤞🏻

I spent 5 weeks with my first getting no sleep, trying to get him down and he never did, we ended up co sleeping /bed sharing until he was at least 7 months 😅

My second actually settles in her next to me sometimes 😮 but she definitely prefers sleeping on my chest. I'm hoping the more I put her in the crib, she gets used to it and wants to stay in there 🤞🏻😄

Yes this is normal 😭just imagine they were inside you for 9 months they don’t wanna be far from you. Currently our first night home too and she has only lasted about 30 mins in the cot!

We had this issue and still struggling slightly but in the end got a Moses basket it and it’s been a god send! It’s much smaller so prefers it than his next to me

I’m considering taking the Moses basket from downstairs, upstairs tonight x

At night & in the the day. Honestly at a complete loss

my girl is 5 days old and will sleep consistently in the day with her moses basket but soon as it’s time for bed, she won’t settle in the next to me so been trying to sleep on my chest, i am gonna try the moses basket upstairs x

Me too girly 😭

How are you getting on now?

Help! First time mum -

I have a 4 month old and now all of a sudden when he’s been asleep for 1hr30/2hrs he will wake up screaming (high pitched) I’ve tried winding him sometimes that helps, I’ve tried bicycle legs & bringing his knees up but that doesn’t seem to help but he brings his knees up himself sometimes but nothing happens. I’ve noticed since the 4 month mark he has started to struggle passing wind downwards! Any tips?

Bath Time

Help! My baby is 3 and a half weeks old. Every bath she goes in quite happy but will only stay like this for a very few mins, if I try to clean her or move her we have tears and after a few mins the same. It's like she is scared. Our current baby bath is quite big should I try a different one? Looking for any suggestions as want her to enjoy bath time not be upset and I'm scared I'm going to make her hate it😢💗

Don’t want to leave my first born😭😭😭

Anyone else extremely sad and anxious to leave their first born😭

He’s 2 and we have never not put him to bed or be here for when he wakes up😭

I’m so sad and anxious about leaving him

Crying during feeding

Hey mams! My girl is 6 weeks on Monday and is having so much trouble with feeding. It doesn’t happen every feed but more often than not she will start a bottle and just start crying as if she’s in pain and she can’t take the milk. I think it’s trapped wind but I genuinely don’t know what to do it’s so pitiful to see her not be able to feed! She’s formula fed and on HiPP Organic.
Anyone else been in this position? I’m pretty sure it’s just a bit of trapped wind that she needs to fart out but can’t! If anyone has any advice I’d be very grateful as I think I may need to tape my eyelids open soon 😂

Sleeping

Hi all!
I need some advice my son is 5 months on Tuesday at what age do they sleep in their cot? As he’s still in his bassinet in our bedroom any advice would be fab thank you🫶🏼🫶🏼

No more naps! 10 month old

For a few days now my 10m old has fought her 2 daily naps. Normally her wake windows were 3-4 hours and she is now eventually napping after a 6 hour wake window. Today was only one nap, she skipped the second one. Used to nap like clockwork so I’m wondering if anyone else is experiencing this? Also very unsettled most nights and doesn’t sleep well at all
