So close to losing it over sleep

Little one doesn’t sleep 😫 he’s currently teething and has a slight cold which isn’t helping but I’ve been awake now since 10pm I don’t think I’ve had a solid hour sleep since. Everytime I am just about asleep he’s awake again and fussing. I honestly thought his sleep would improve being in his own room where we cannot disturb him but nope. It’s taking everything I’ve got not to start screaming at him to sleep I’ve already raised my voice for him to shut the fuck up 🤦🏼‍♀️ I’m so exhausted as I’ve got a terrible cough/sorethroat also, having to look after his older brother and also trying to run my business. What are we doing to get them to sleep? At this point I’m going to just let him cry because I can’t take this any longer (something I really hate)

My son has a cold and cut two teeth, the only way I’ve got sleep is bringing him in my bed

Can you LO roll yet ? May be unhelpful advice but try putting baby to sleep on his belly if you're comfortable. My mom and MIL both told me to do this for better sleep and it did the trick for us. I used to only put her on her belly for supervised naps but now that she rolls quite well we put her to sleep at night like this and she sleeps through

Peace of mind please

I shot up at 4am last night and had the urge to check my little boy who sleeps in a cot next to our bed.
For the first time he has rolled over and was sleeping on his stomach, my heart dropped.
I was so scared that I picked him up to make sure he was okay and he was just sound asleep…

What are we supposed to do if they roll over in their sleep?! He’s almost 6 months old and I’m prettified of him rolling and it being a different outcome if I don’t wake up..

Just need some peace of mind that this is
okay?

Baby slept all night

Sorry, I just need to post this... my little boy is 12w5d and he slept through from 9:30-6am, woke for a feed and went back to sleep until 8:30!!! I can't believe it. I was obviously up every few hours checking on him and making sure he was ok, so I didn't get a full nights sleep 🤣 but I'm so pleased for him! 🎉🥳 (not a brag btw, I'm just so pleased and wanted to share)

Colic Baby

Anyone else have a colic baby? If so how do you cope with it and get your sleep in? I’ve tried everything under the sun, on top of this he’s cluster feeding like hell.

🥲

Do any mums who breastfeed and co-sleep — especially once baby doesn’t really need night feeds — ever let their baby cry for a bit in the pram to fall asleep, just so you can have a few minutes to yourself?
A friend suggested this to me, but honestly it breaks my heart. I tried it once and it did work, but I’m not sure I could do it all the time. She’s a childcare teacher and said with sleep training you sometimes let them cry for up to 30 minutes… but I don’t know how people do it.
She also mentioned that a lot of mums here on the Gold Coast, Australia do it during the day when their baby’s tired — letting them fall asleep in the pram so they can have a coffee or catch up with friends without having to rush home for a nap.
I just feel like it might not be good for their nervous system and it doesn’t sit right with me… but then again, I’m also a first-time mum.

Car seat

This car seat says 0-14 months. We bought it when my baby was around 5/6 months when he grew out of the old one and the lady who sold it to us in smyths toy shop said it can be used up until 4 I believe but why does the sticker on it say 0-14 months then? Does anyone e else have this seat the joie 360 spin?

How often and how much do your 5 week olds feed? (Formula)

I suspect he’s taking in much less than others’ babies in this group. I understand every baby is different but mine wakes every 1.5 hours at night..
