My 15 week old has started waking up about 5.30am and is really hard to settle back down - it’s like he thinks it’s time to wake up for the day. He used to go to bed at 9pm and was up at 8am but now he goes to bed between 7.30-8pm as he’s knackered by then but waking up at 5.30am😴. Any advice to get him to sleep a little longer in the morning?! Even an extra hour would be lovely 🤣

Mines the same, but generally will get to 6am. I'm just hoping the clock change sorts it out 😂

I have similar, when the clocks change I'm going to take advantage!! If I have it the right way round they should sleep for an extra hour with bedtime delayed an hour!

This is a developmental wake up because of new skills, etc. Don't treat it as the morning. Keep things dark/dim and quiet (even if he isn't!). You can try feeding and helping him back to sleep or letting him be quietly awake. If he is happy being quietly awake you can try leaving him to do that on his own (without you in the room if he's in a separate room). If you wait long enough in that state he might put himself back to sleep but it could take him an hour. If he fusses or cries obviously respond and soothe him! But loud or happy play noises like he might make when awake in the daytime are normal for this type of wake up. If you don't treat it like the start of the day, then eventually (could be days, could be a few weeks) he'll go back to sleeping to your preferred wake up time.
Was wondering if anyone has used these and if they’re worth it? They’re around £25 a bottle but are meant to good?

Hi everyone!
I had baby #1 in Nov 2024 and now due again next month. I had a random question on disposable underwear.
With baby #1 I remember I wore disposable underwear for a week or 2 while I was very heavily bleeding! I used to put a maternity pad on it too for extra cautiousness.
Now I remember my maternity pads were lilets but I cannot for the life of me remember what disposable underwear I had. All I remember is it was black
Anyone able to recommend there’s or perhaps know what I may have used??
Thanks
