Bent wrist

LO is 9 months but always sleeps with his hand bent down to his wrist. I try straighten it and putting it normal but he also immediately moves it back (he sleeps on his belly) and during the day he can move his hands freely but will sometimes sit with his hands facing down.
Is anyone else’s baby doing this?

Can he move it properly - if not or if it seems tight you might need to speak to a HV to refer him to physio if not - my boy has his thumb tucked in a lot and they've referred him for that

he can move it normal no issues. He can crawl but just likes to sleep with it bent down and sometimes does this in the day.
What did they do for u in physio?

Maybe it's comfort or something?
I haven't been yet just been referred but I went about his neck when he was a newborn and they just gave me some exercises to do

yeah I thought it may be for comfort but when he’s asleep doing it he sometimes lies on it too so I’m worried he’ll end up hurting himself.
He’s only recently started doing it the past week or 2

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

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?

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?

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 🤣
