Sleep

My baby is 4 weeks and no longer sleeps in the next to me cot. she constantly wants to be on me and will only sleep on me. she always seems so unsettled in between feeds and I have no idea what it is she seems to grunt alot so whether its trapped wind/ constipation. however when she is on me she seems to settle. I'm so tired. Any suggestions on how to get her down in the cot? Thanks

My 4 week old has started the same. I wake up so much in the night to the grunts but find her asleep. Some of it is constipation I think. Some nights I’ve put her in sleeping bags/swaddles and she’s settled better in the cot. My routine is; bum first into cot, hand on belly/tapping side and shh’ing to get to sleep when she’s drowsy / asleep x

My baby did the exact same thing between 3-4 weeks, so unsettled and seemed to be in pain between feeds with reflux and straining. Started her on Infacol drops, and she settled that same night back into a happy settled baby and slept like a dream!

Literally same here, the only thing that seems to help is the white noise machine's volume a little bit louder, but even so she doesn't last in her cot for more than 30 mins. 🫩

Dummies🤦🏼‍♀️🤦🏼‍♀️🤦🏼‍♀️

Has anyone got any tips on how to GET RID of dummies😂🤦🏼‍♀️ my little girl is obsessed and i have no idea where to start!!

Hi ya'll

Is anyone else's 4 month old randomly screeching now? I'm not sure what to do and she's been doing this for the past two days. She's usually a quiet happy baby so im not sure why she's doing this now. Aby suggestions?

Breastfeeding

Does it ever feel better? The actual feeding part of it is going really well and baby boy is growing so well. I’m struggling with how my boobs feel day to day - it’s really getting me down most days. The let downs make me feel awful and sounds silly but, I am also really missing not wearing a bra! 9 weeks postpartum and still getting fairly engorged, even with comfort pumping.

Any advice or just shared stories would help. I’m so torn between carrying on because I enjoy the feeding side of it or switching to formula.

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?

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?

Strange question

Hello. I would identify myself as asexual but yes i am married and i have a child. But now that ive had my baby. I think its solidified that im done having sex. I feel bad as my partner keeps asking me but i just dont want to. Any advice on what i can do? Any other asexual moms out there? I guess this could be confusing but im not huge on being bound by a label. I have just always felt it represented me best since highschool.
