Sleeping on front

I know its meant to be fine that once babys can roll both ways they can sleep on there front.
My LO is just over 8 months old and all of a sudden starting rolling onto his front and is pretty much facedown 😩😬.
I just am so anxious about this!

I put my girl down on her front now since she sleeps so much better! So do I as well 😂
I did wake up a lot at first checking if she was okay but you will eventually feel okay with it x

My baby also sleeps on her front, and my first also did too. Same as Eleanor, you're anxious at first but soon become more comfortable about it.

My baby can't really roll from front to back yet either 🙈(only by accident a few times) but she has slept on her tummy for few months now and sleeps much better and soon lets us know when she wants to be on her back 😅 (usually in the morning). We tried at the beginning going in and turning her, but it was a losing battle as she kept rolling back every time and getting upset 🫠

My little girl point blank refuses to sleep on her back - if she accidentally rolls onto it at night it’s an instant wake up… in fact she protests laying on it even to have her nappy changed 😅: certified front sleeper 🤷🏽‍♀️

Thank you for all the replys! Makes me a little more confident knowing most babies do it!x

It’s totally fine! My first was a face sleeper. Cot mattresses are breathable

Toddler not staying under duvet

We’ve recently moved our toddler to a single bed with a duvet for the first time. She’s manages to stay under the duvet for the first 4 hours then doesn’t have the duvet on. Currently she’s at the other end, on top of the duvet.

Will she eventually stay under?

1 YEAR JABS, DO I GIVE THEM TO MY BABY OR NOT?

Hi,
I’m really stressed because my mum is telling me not to get my child vaccinated with the 1 year jabs. My baby has already had the first 3 jabs but she’s really trying to get me to not get him vaccinated. I would like real opinions please. Has anyone here not had their baby jabbed? Please don’t think I’m silly for writing this, first time mum here so everything is so scary and new. Thank you!

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?!

PP things I hate

Everything is stress induced anymore
My daughter has this ongoing diarrhea for 2 weeks now and I’ve gotten no sleep from it, I now have a canker sore from it, my acid reflux has more flare ups than ever. I don’t like having sex anymore (I love my partner and I still find him very attractive). Im way too overly touched (by the baby, by the dog and by him). Im 10m pp and I haven’t been able to wear a dang tampon! I don’t do pads because they are just not for me so I wear a diaper.
Please tell me if you relate to any of this at all? Or if I’m just crazy

Sleep regression solidarity

Anyone else’s little one been hit by sleep regression like a ton of bricks? 🙃.

Baby girl was sleeping so well then this past week has been struggling, last night was WILD. We are currently running on caffeine and vibes 😅✌️.

We can do this mamas.

Mum guilt

My baby has a really awful latch and breastfeeding can be quite uncomfortable. I’ve had help from the infant feeding team and it’s improved but still not great. He doesn’t have a tongue tie.

I think he swallows down a lot of air, he always has trapped wind and an uncomfortable tummy, he fusses and grunts all night long, never burps after feeds. He’s always congested and has hiccups all the time.

I have a fast letdown so I think that also contributes. I’m really really considering switching to formula but the guilt that comes alongside that is killing me.

My eldest was breastfed for 8 months so I feel so shameful considering quitting at just 4 weeks with second baby. I also feel a huge responsibility to keep breastfeeding through winter for the immune system and health benefits.

I’m just really not enjoying breastfeeding this time and it’s making me miserable.

Any tips?
