Naps
My baby is 8 weeks old, I struggle with wake windows, there are no obvious signs that she’s tired until she gets fussy and apparently that means I’ve missed the window? How am I supposed to know when her windows are? In the morning she falls asleep at about 45 minutes in the morning but I have no idea after that.
Also I get really upset when she misses it because I don’t know how to fix it, I’ve been told move up bed time if she’s overtired but when I move up her bedtime she just wakes up earlier in the mornings.
Is there another way to go about this? I’m pretty stressed over her sleep.

Hey, my baby is 8 weeks as well but I am not stressing over her sleep schedule just yet because she is still adjusting to being here. Usually my baby will get fussy bc of overstimulation or she when she does her first yawn that’s when I start to put her down to sleep. I say give yourself grace because you both are still learning each other 🥰
Great question, I’m trying to figure it out too with my little one but I usually try to put him down for a nap whenever I see him yawn or his eyes seem droopy
Does she make a sort of motion like she's trying to scratch her ear? It was a bit of a game changer for me once I really started noticing that sleep sign - it meant I could swoop right in to start rocking and singing to my LO before he started to properly cry.

Washing liquid
Hi! I can’t stand the weird smell of any of the blue non bio washing stuff. Is there anything else that can be used for washing newborn? Something that smells a bit better 😬

Dream feeding
Hi
I need to stop dream feeding my baby at night when he wakes up. How do you do this or transition? He is mainly breastfed but I’ve started to give a bottle on the night on the last feed before he sleeps

Car seat
Anyone have a car seat where your toddlers head doesn’t fall forward when they fall asleep??

Anyone else?
Anyone else a c section, co sleeping, breastfeeding mama and your body is just in bits? I don’t know if my bed is just uncomfortable postpartum or if it’s my body and cosleeping/breastfeeding positions. I feel like stretching helps a little but my hips and lower back especially are awful, but generally I just feel so achy and uncomfortable most of the time. Is it just me?

What wakes your baby up?
I'm curious...when your baby wakes overnight, what is it waking them up? Is it hunger or something else? My little boy (breastfed) only wakes for two nights feeds (which is great!) but wakes himself up after wriggling/flapping about in his sleep every 1.5/2 hours too 😬
