Baby won’t sleep!

My baby has not slept more than 10-15 minutes since about 4pm today. No exaggeration. Has anyone else got a newborn fighting sleep this hard? She slept lots yesterday but not to the point she doesn’t need sleep today lol.

This happened to me last week😢 it’s very stressful in the moment and come to understand they were just overtired and the longer they stay awake, they get stressed and raise their cortisol levels - in turn this makes it even harder for them to sleep so v unhelpful. For us it was the same, wouldn’t sleep all day but when he did eventually get to sleep he caught up on it a lot the next day. What worked for me was to swaddle him, hold the dummy in his mouth and hold him tight. Also patting his bum to a heartbeat and walking around helped as this is what they were used to in the tummy. Sorry for the spiel but hang in there, it will pass ❤️

Same for me today 🫠

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 😂
