Wake windows…

Mums what do we do in these wake windows? 🤣

My 8 week old is so miserable when he’s awake.. he spends most of his time sleeping..

If we read, sing, put him on his playmat, his chair guaranteed within 5 minutes he’s screaming because he jusr hates being awake 🤣🤣

He will then go to sleep and only wake up to feed and then we repeat the cycle all over again.. 😩😩

I’m wondering if it’s just a phase but he’s been like this for weeks..

Any advice would be appreciated. Thank you 🥰

I can’t really give advice because I haven’t experienced this, but I would ask his pediatrician. Not saying anything is wrong just being safe

he was actually in hospital for a different reason today and they’ve said it’s nothing at all to worry about but just wanting to see if any other mums have the same issue xx

I’m glad all is good!

I think maybe he's so young still so id try not to feel any pressure beyond changing and feeding him! Mine was very sleepy for a long time. She will cry if she needs a nap and is overtired and shes 18 weeks but still very quickly needs another nap! He will gradually wake for longer and spend longer doing the activities in his own time

My little girl goes through phases where she jusst wants to cuddle and sleep- I put it down to growth spurts or the weather- I always say that horrible weather. Has an impact on you so imagine a baby’s thoughts too!

It is very normal for a newborn to be sleeping most of the time. He should start to be awake more in a few weeks.

newborns can sleep a lot. but if he seems to consistently be in distress when awake, i would definitely follow up with your pediatrician.

Sleeping bag

8 week old in sleeping bag for first time as big enough! Do you feed your child in the night whilst in the sleeping bag or taken them out, feed then transfer back to sleeping bag before putting down?

Leaky nappy help

What nappies are you using to stop leaks?? We use pampers ultra dry size 5, and for the past few nights he has lashed through and we’ve had to completely change him during the night. Last night he leashed through twice!! He sleeps on his front and stays leaks through at the top of his leg where the tabs connect. Didn’t know whether to size up, he has a bit of a belly on him but he’s smack in middle of weight guidance so shouldn’t need too

My little one is struggling with sleep

Hey! I'm in need of some advice please girls! My little boy is 20 months turns 21 months in 2 half weeks. He use to sleep through the night now he is waking up every single night in the early morning, I've had to transition him to a toodler bed as he kept climbing out his cot. Just need some advice on what I can do to help him get back in to a sleep pattern?

6 month old autistism

My 6 month old makes no eye contact with me and doesn’t respond when I call him. Can this just be a phase or personality trait as apposed to autism

New born

Finally had my baby girl via C-section on the 18th, everything has been so far. But I’ve noticed she’s very fussy and cries a lot. I’ve been trying to exclusively breastfeed. The lactation consultant at the hospital said I did look like I’m making enough milk for her. She was latching on good at the hospital and now here at home, she doesn’t seem to want to latch at all. She’s been crying a lot and very fussy. I’m just wondering is she’s colic or like maybe she just doesn’t want the breast anymore?

5.30am wakeups 😫😴

My 15 week old has started waking up about 5.30am and is really hard to settle back down - it’s like he thinks it’s time to wake up for the day. He used to go to bed at 9pm and was up at 8am but now he goes to bed between 7.30-8pm as he’s knackered by then but waking up at 5.30am😴. Any advice to get him to sleep a little longer in the morning?! Even an extra hour would be lovely 🤣
