We loved our snuggle me. The only thing is that they’re so expensive and they can only be used until baby starts rolling over. So yes I do this they’re worth it, but if I had to do it over again, I’d prob just buy a cheap $20 one on amazon.

I have a najell sleepcarrier and it’s been the absolute best purchase for having my second with a toddler!!!
I can put him down in it anywhere and he is safe, if my toddler needs to do something different or go somewhere I can just move the carrier and he stays asleep!
It also fits inside the pram carrycot so can even put it straight in the pram and go out for a walk without needing to move him!
Fits inside the next to me cots as well!
I bought mine from Vinted as was expensive when facing maternity pay for baby no 2 on part time wages from the first but by far my favourite baby product I’ve ever bought!!!! They look so cosy too!!

They are considered a major risk by health care providers. Have a google before buying one. I wouldn't risk it.

Self settling

Any tips or advice of how to teach 6.5month old to self settle? I’m up multiple times in the night to cuddle her back to sleep and put the dummy in. I understand she will wake up and want a cuddle etc but any tips on self settling would be appreciated 🥰

Baby losing weight

Hi all, it's been a long time since I had a baby (my son is 15!). My daughter is 10 days old and was 9lb born, she has since lost weight at every appointment and is at a 12% loss. I am breast feeding every two hours for over an hour and topping her up every feed. I pump and can get 60ml in 10 minutes so I know my supply is okay. Anyone had this before? Can give me some tips? I currently feel like I'm letting my baby down.

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?
