Baby gets stuck rolling (advice needed)

My 16 week old is rolling primarily from back to belly (he has done belly to back a few times, but seems to forget how and will need help) he has started rolling to his belly at night and then gets upset because he is stuck and can't get on his back. This is honestly freaking me out because once his neck gets tired he will just faceplant into his crib. I have been waking up to flip him over, but it's getting exhausting for both of us. Any tips to encourage him to flip from belly to back?

My little one does the same thing! Thankfully he turns his head to not be face down! But we just really started working on good tummy time rolling in and out of it. With help but it’s all about consistency and showing him every time he gets frustrated just start helping him. Always doing this during the day is a great stepping stone to help make something stick!

Breastfeeding advice

I’ve just seen this and thought YES to everything so thought I’d share! As a second time mum I had all of these and almost gave up because of the first one!!

Autism

I have been noticing everyone I know that as a boy 2-5 years has been diagnosed with autism. Has anyone else noticed this or maybe I’m just noticing this out of concern for my 10 month old boy.

Swing or bassinet

We've been co-sleeping/bed-sharing with our one month old (5 weeks tomorrow) since she and I came home from the hospital. While I love the cuddles I do want our bed back too. I will add too, that we try to make it as safe as possible and want her in a safe situation. She doesn't like sleeping by herself, however we've been putting her in her swing (pic below) close to daily, since she came home and at first she only liked it for a few minutes, now it could be an hour, before she protests, asleep or awake! She likes the music and rocking motion it seems and seems fascinated by the mobile when she's awake and not sleepy. We can probably get her used to the bassinet in a similar way, but I'm wondering if we should just get two of these? My husband says the music would drive him crazy, lol, but we could just do it with white noise and see if it has the same effect. He's saying it's probably good for her to learn how to sleep in different conditions. I do agree, as our older daughter can't take naps at friends' houses and stuff. Just not sure of the best route here. Anyway tia!

Cry

Hey! I just need some advice, please.

My nearly 6 week old girl is so unsettled. She eats well and naps well, however when she’s awake she’s fine for about 5 minutes and then starts crying. I settle her, but 5 minutes later it happens again. This goes on until her next feed.

I’m convinced she hates me 😓 What am I doing wrong?

I change her nappies (sometimes too often 😁) I feed her (Kendamil formula 4oz around every 2-3 hrs) and I always make sure she burps. We go for walks, I play with her, and I let her sit in her bouncer. I’ve literally tried everything but she still seems so unsettled after just 5 minutes 😢😢

Falling Over

Hey mums.

I’m in need of some peace of mind.

My little one is 11 months, less than a month until 1. She has recently started moving around, sitting up crawling, rolling. And she has no fear. She’s fallen over a few times and hit her head.

I am first aid trained as I work with children but no I’m a mum for the first time when she hurts hardly I automatically panic.

Every time she hits her head I put a cold compress and keep her wake. But I just need to know if I’m doing right by her or if I should be doing something else.
