Sleep

My son has croup, he went to bed at midnight on Saturday night due to being in A&e. He woke up 9.30am on Sunday then went to sleep 6pm-8.30pm and then was awake until 10.40pm coughing. He has been asleep since then with the occasional wake during the night due to coughing. He is still asleep at 11.15!

He usually sleeps 7.30pm- 6.45am with no nap in the day.

Should I wake him up?

I personally would let him sleep :) we've had nights similar (my daughter has suspected asthma) and the nights especially after A&E she's wiped out so id just let him be :)

I would just check there's so sings of struggling with breathing, otherwise yea I'd leave him :)

Yeah my daughter has had croup twice recently and a chest infection. She was sleeping 13/14 hours over night, and tbh still is sleeping about 13 hours now. The night we got home after a night stay she slept 7pm to 1030 am. It wears them out being so ill and coughing is draining in itself. Hope he feels better soon x

Leaky nappy help

What nappies are you using to stop leaks?? We use pampers ultra dry size 5, and for the past few nights he has lashed through and we’ve had to completely change him during the night. Last night he leashed through twice!! He sleeps on his front and stays leaks through at the top of his leg where the tabs connect. Didn’t know whether to size up, he has a bit of a belly on him but he’s smack in middle of weight guidance so shouldn’t need too

6 month old autistism

My 6 month old makes no eye contact with me and doesn’t respond when I call him. Can this just be a phase or personality trait as apposed to autism

4 month bed time

What time do you put your babies to bed?
What time do you start your 'routine?'
My LO currently goes to bed around 10.30pm, and I know i need to start bringing it forward. Everytime ive tried, it takes longer for my LO to settle.
We are exclusively breastfeeding. Any advice Mamas?

5.30am wakeups 😫😴

My 15 week old has started waking up about 5.30am and is really hard to settle back down - it’s like he thinks it’s time to wake up for the day. He used to go to bed at 9pm and was up at 8am but now he goes to bed between 7.30-8pm as he’s knackered by then but waking up at 5.30am😴. Any advice to get him to sleep a little longer in the morning?! Even an extra hour would be lovely 🤣

New born

Finally had my baby girl via C-section on the 18th, everything has been so far. But I’ve noticed she’s very fussy and cries a lot. I’ve been trying to exclusively breastfeed. The lactation consultant at the hospital said I did look like I’m making enough milk for her. She was latching on good at the hospital and now here at home, she doesn’t seem to want to latch at all. She’s been crying a lot and very fussy. I’m just wondering is she’s colic or like maybe she just doesn’t want the breast anymore?
