Sleeping bags

Morning all!
Our baby is 5 weeks old and sleeps on her side, there's no moving her. When is it safe to let them sleep with arms out? She can't roll over yet but I'm worried she will and her arms will be restricted.
Thanks x

My little one has been in a sleeping bag since she was 3 weeks old, she HATED being swaddled! Loves to have her arms and legs free! She’s now nearly 7 weeks and we’ve had no issues! x

@Lauren amazing thank you! She's always grunting and trying to break free, so I'm worried that in itself will roll her over and she'll be stuck. Will test her on a nap today and see how she gets on x

We used a sleeping bag from birth

Ours has never been in a swaddle.. Always a cellular blanket or no blanket and just sleepsuit/vest, 8 weeks and she's happy as larry

we used sleeping bags from birth as baby didnt like being swaddled hes 5 months now and sleeps on his side! As long as baby is warm enough they can sleep in anything x

Thanks all, feeling better about it and bought an armless sleeping bag to try! X

Hi all, can confirm arms free sleeping bag went down a treat! Very happy little lady. Thanks for your thoughts on this x

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😢💗

Big nursing bras!

I’m looking for recommendations for good nursing bras for bigger breasted ladies!

I’m currently in a 38H which seems to be the biggest size done at M&S (UK based mama here) and it’s snug and not as supportive as I’d like. When I look online, they mainly seem to be sized S, M, L, XL etc rather than bra sizes.

Any recommendations please?

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 😂
