Front sleeping

Is anyone else’s 5 month old sleeping on their tummy? She started sleeping on her side and now she just wants to sleep on her tummy 🫠
I can’t sleep because I’m checking the monitor every hour to see if she’s okay 🙃

My son started doing it a month or so ago (he’s almost 6 months).

Yeah same as Emily. My LG is almost 6 months and been doing jt maybe 5-6 weeks. She could only roll one way (back to belly) up until last week but managed ok. I just watched her a few nap times to make sure she was safe. So long as it’s a firm mattress and you always put them down on their back first (so you know they get onto their belly themselves) it’s ok.

I spent ages awake and flipping her back onto her back but we both got no sleep so was counterproductive 😭

I think even lullaby trust says you’re not expected to stay up all night and flip them back 🙏🏻🤞🏻

Thank you so much! This is so reassuring 🩷🩷

Same. Last couple of weeks suddenly started sleeping on sides and then on front. Every time I turn him back he just does it again. Have given up rolling him from sides as waste of time. He sometimes wakes himself up though trying to roll from front back on to his back though depending on where he is positioned in the crib as he's such a wiggle butt so do still try shift him whilst sleeping if I wake and find this.

Keep resting my hand on his sleep sack to check breathing as so quiet. I'd never sleep if had to turn him every time.

Yup! He will only sleep on his tummy now 🙈
He'll quite happily sleep all through the night though, which he never did before! But yes, I've been a nervous wreck for the past week or so, constantly waking up to check on him, as I often find him face down which scares the hell out of me!! He has a breathable mattress and sheet, and also a breathing monitor so I'm trying to tell myself everything will be fine, but I can't help worrying 😩

This is exactly how I feel!! 🩷 can’t wait to not worry about it and know that she will be okay! 😊🩷

My girl is sleeping on her belly and immediately flips back. I’m so grateful I got the owlet it gives me more peace of mind knowing that she still has oxygen flowing.. it’s kinda pricey 200 range, but anxiety level go ALL the way down if I’m being honest

Did you know this was a thing?

Didn’t know this existed! I’m actually not breastfeeding 2nd time round (though wish I did) after a bad experience with my 1st baby. But this is something I 100% needed 1st time round.

Screeching baby

I have twin boys, 5months.

One is very quiet

The other... is like a pterodactyl who screeches when bored, tired, hungry, as soon as he wake up to be held etc...
This habit has only just started!

Has anyone else experienced this and how long did it last?
So far it has been about 5 days 😭😭😭😭

Joie Signature Parcel LX lightweight stroller

Has anyone got this stroller? Up until now we have used our mamas and papas ocarro and we love it. However we are going on holiday in June and looking at a lightweight stroller to take with us. I'm not bothered if it fits in overheard locker, I would rather have decent wheels on the stroller and this one does have slightly bigger wheels than most travel strollers we have seen. Has anyone used this stroller abroad or got any other recommendations? TIA x

Circumcision, please help

I know it can be a really sensitive topic, but I feel really underinformed about whether I should choose to circumcise or not if we end up having a boy.
For context: we are very non-religious, but I worry about the stigma of being non-circumcised when he would start to get interested in dating, navigating cleaning it and the risk of infection especially as he gets older and navigating potty training at daycare and stuff. I also worry about the increased risk of penile cancer. But then I also hate the thought of making my baby go through a major surgery unnecessarily and would prefer for them to make the choice when they are older if they choose to get circumcised.

How did you make your choice? Does anyone regret their choice?
