Moro reflex

I have a baby girl, she is 4 1/2 months and I’m transitioning to a sleep sack but it has been hard, she wakes up because of her own reflex so i went back to swaddle her again, and idk what to do 😫

Mine is exactly the same! But we’ve never been able to swaddle her cause she screamed if she couldn’t move her arms or legs freely…
She regularly swings her arms up and scares herself awake 😅

So what are you doing? Is she waking up a lot? If i use the sleep sack, she wakes up every hr at night😩🫠 I'm dying

Honestly, I went with safe co sleeping. I know it’s not for everyone and gets a lot of
Hate ( we practise safe co sleeping ). she seems to be a lot more relaxed when I’m with her. And if she’s stirring I just give her a little cuddle and she drifts back off to sleep. Since then we get a solid 5-6 hour stretches at night. But if swaddling works for now I would recommend continuing as long as you are both comfortable with it 😊

We had the same issue and used transition swaddles instead. They were a life changer!! https://www.mybloomingbaby.com/collections/swaddle-transitions?utm_source=Klaviyo&utm_medium=email&utm_campaign=6%2F29%20-%20Us%20vs.%20Them%20%2801J06CJ0DQYR8XBMPMTCFQR5QV%29&utm_klaviyo_id=01HVN54A19VZ9RDYNJ1VW2TRFS&_kx=_IrJiYXb4iBDJRKtx_vwAbv9rnIy_ccW01T1MZlJSZw.kRgFEC

I swear by the Merlin’s magic sleepsuit until they are like 6-7 months. It was genuinely game changing

Doesn’t look like much but it dampens the startle reflex so well

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 😂
