Smiling
Anyone’s babies not consistently socially smiling yet? Mine is 9 weeks today and in the last week we’ve had the odd social smile or two but still fleeting and infrequent. She smiles a lot in her sleep. I feel like all I see online is consistently grinning babies that are younger than her😣

Same as my little boy ! He's 8w old. Gives the odd smile, maybe 3 or 4 a day for 2 seconds.
I had the same doubt as you.... ☹️
My little boy is 10 weeks tomorrow and over the last week has really started to social smile. Give her time, she will do it. Maybe try and encourage it to by calling her something. I say to mine "hello gorgeous boy" with a huge smile on my face and that seems to have encouraged his smiles xx
My first was like this. She didnt really smile at all till around 6 months old. She was such a serious little thing and would just observe the world with curiosity and judgement 😂 my little boy (10 weeks) almost constantly smiles and has done a few weeks. What im trying to say is that every baby is different and every person is different. It might just take baby a tad longer to learn smiling and that's totally ok

Night time sleep advice
Heyyy!!
We have been advised from the GP that we no longer need to wake our 7 week old to feed at night. However, at the 7 hour mark I tend to wake her as I worry about her sugar levels etc. When I do wake her she is really hard to wake. I do the usual nappy change, tickle her feet but can take about 20 mins for her to wake up. I have been told she is a healthy weight but I worry that this many hours is too long for her little age. Am I wrong for waking her after 7 hours?
(She is formula fed and currently weighs 12 pound)

Refusing nap at age2 help!
My little one is 2y 2m old. She has just all of a sudden stopped napping. Nursery told me they spend half hour with her and she won't sleep and same at home. I'm really worried nursery will stop trying. But she just will not settle down at all all of a sudden. Help please. It's way too early for her to drop the nap!

14 w/o slept for 15 hrs?
She’s 14 weeks. Yesterday we decided to try putting her to bed at 8pm (she usually just comes with us at around 10/11). So we bathed, boobed and transferred to bed by 8. We kept the room dark and she slept there for an hour before waking up. I then took her back with me but she continued sleeping until 11. Woke up at 11, had her nappy changed. All happy as can be. Then slept until 3. Breastfed. Nappy changed at 5. Breastfed. Slept until 7, breastfed. Still asleep now at 11am?
Is this normal? She’s still having wet nappies, feeding, etc. should I wake her? She started trying to roll to her front yesterday, so idk if she’s just tired from the workout 😅

Trike 1 year old winter
It’s my daughter birthday next week and I was thinking about getting her a trike I really like the little Dutch one but then I’m thinking would I actually use it because it’s nearly winter so she’ll be in her pram a lot with foot muff and we don’t seem to go out a lot in pram whilst she’s awake.
Opinions if you’ve got one do you use it or waste of money?

Postpartum sex drive
My baby is 17 months now, and I thought that by now my sex drive would be back. I still do it for hubby but it I can’t seem to actually want to. All the loose skin on my stomach is just such a turn off. I’ve come to accept I’ll probably need a tummy tuck once I’m done having kids, but I’m until then idk how I’m ever gonna have any drive. Any advice from anyone feeling the same?
