Why won’t my baby 5 months old stop rolling at night onto her belly and face and just go to sleep!!

It’s been nearly 2 weeks now, up every half hour to an hour as she’s on her face crying and squirming. I roll her back I soothe I do EVERYTHING. She will not stop. She has so much tummy time during the day too as that’s all she wants to do. I’m so so so tired 😪

Yeah mines on his front or side now

Mine sleeps on front too, that’s 100% how she’s happy to sleep. We had this phase when she began doing it, she was cross on her front, but once she got used to it she was less cross so hang on in there :-) Although she does “sound cross” as the way she gets to sleep, I think she’s actually soothing herself, which might be the same for your LO. Assume the swaddle is off now, worth trying a sleep bag if you haven’t yet. You got this :-)

She’s in a sleep bag, just cries tho cos she can’t get comfortable every hour

I mean i have tried everything.. lol had half the night of co sleeping the other day cos I couldn’t take it anymore x

Oh my goodness we are the same it’s like she’s cross because she doesn’t want to be there but when I turn her back she screams hysterically. But she can’t roll back or get herself comfortable

Avatar

same! End up co sleeping after getting up 5 times because I can’t take much more I’m too tired and she must be too

Apparently they say to give them plenty of time to practice it in the day time do that they won't do it so much at night 🫠

Self settling

Any tips or advice of how to teach 6.5month old to self settle? I’m up multiple times in the night to cuddle her back to sleep and put the dummy in. I understand she will wake up and want a cuddle etc but any tips on self settling would be appreciated 🥰

Baby losing weight

Hi all, it's been a long time since I had a baby (my son is 15!). My daughter is 10 days old and was 9lb born, she has since lost weight at every appointment and is at a 12% loss. I am breast feeding every two hours for over an hour and topping her up every feed. I pump and can get 60ml in 10 minutes so I know my supply is okay. Anyone had this before? Can give me some tips? I currently feel like I'm letting my baby down.

Breastfeeding

Does it ever feel better? The actual feeding part of it is going really well and baby boy is growing so well. I’m struggling with how my boobs feel day to day - it’s really getting me down most days. The let downs make me feel awful and sounds silly but, I am also really missing not wearing a bra! 9 weeks postpartum and still getting fairly engorged, even with comfort pumping.

Any advice or just shared stories would help. I’m so torn between carrying on because I enjoy the feeding side of it or switching to formula.

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?
