Flat head
Is anyone else super anxious about their baby getting a flat head? It’s always on my mind! My LO has started to get a small flat patch on the right side of the back of her head and I’m super worried about it! During the day she always contact naps on me and has her tummy time, it’s from how she positions her head at night. Will this start to go away as she grows and spends less time on her back? Do I need to see the GP?

It's totally normal and nothing to worry about, only in extreme cases is it a concern
It will go away as she gets older its only really a concern if its flat from top to bottom x
It’s only the small patch, I just worry about everything😅
One of my twin girls has the same (she’s 15 weeks now)! health visitor said it’s nothing to worry about, just give her plenty of tummy time and try to persuade her tilting her head to the left aswell
My baby had a flatter right side when he was born for about 2-3 months from how he slept. I started taking him to the chiropractor because he was really tense on his one side and that helped him a lot, he eventually started turning his head more in his sleep and it went away! I was always super worried about it too!

You’ve got to laugh or you’ll cry, let’s be honest 🤣

Help!!!!
Someone please help me with some advice because I’m losing my absolute mind 😭
Baby is 5 months old, she has changed a lot in personality over the last month, more needy, sleep changes etc but have put it down to the 4 month regression and teething.
However, the problem that makes me want to literally cry is the car seat! She is totally inconsolable now every time she’s in the car. Why? And what can I do to help it?!

In the trenches 🫠
My baby is almost 4 months, she was always so happy and smiley but recently she SQUEALS!!! if she’s not squealing, she’s crying, no matter what we do.
When we pick her up, she wants to move every two seconds and stiffens up and screams at us to move her, in the car, play gym, in her swing chair.. it’s relentless!!!
Anybody else experienced this?? I’m worried (although I hope not!) that because I never let her “self soothe” and responded to every sound she’s made that I may have spoiled her like people said and I laughed at?

Who is in the same boat?
FTM to a 7 week old who has been incredibly chilled up to now bar problems with wind. From 6 weeks old he has been crying none stop and will only soothe with contact naps. I am unable to put him down and even on me he seems to wake up screaming crying for no apparent reason. He is absolutely fine at night but day times are a different story and he seems to go through a cry - feed - contact nap - cry- feed cycle until he goes down at night. I know this must be a phase but I am STRUGGLING. is anyone else going through the same thing?
