Dummy

If your LO had a dummy at night when they were younger do they still have it now?

She still wants probably needs it as new teeth coming through and she's not sleeping great. But gone cold turkey I took all the dummies away a week ago today, almost caved and gave them to her so many times but I've had enough of searching for dummy's day and night

Oh bless her, how is she now a week later without it?

My little one only has one for her one nap and bedtime x

My LG only has hers when she's falling asleep and I take it away once she's in a deep sleep. I found she actually sleeps longer this way as she was knocking it out when she was moving and it would wake her up fully when it came out

She does have it in the car though as she's started to hate car journeys

My LB has his for his daytime nap and bedtime x

How did you find settling her for bed or if she woke without a dummy? I'm tempted but think it would be so hard 😅😅

if she wakes in the night, does she resettle without a dummy?

I found stroking her face, tapping her bum and normally a Toniebox story settles her back down. On bad nights she ends up laying on the floor with me for cuddles until she's asleep then I transfer her back but she's actually slept better since removing the dummy. But the first few days were hard lots of tears but nearly 2 weeks no dummy now it's so much easier

@Devon thank you. So annoyingly I got rid at 7m and then she got poorly and I caved. Now at 16m we still have it...😂😂 Back then she didn't bat an eyelid either!! 🤦🏽‍♀️

no, we give it back to her to resettle and take it out when she's asleep

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😢💗

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 😂

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
