Help! First time mum -

I have a 4 month old and now all of a sudden when he’s been asleep for 1hr30/2hrs he will wake up screaming (high pitched) I’ve tried winding him sometimes that helps, I’ve tried bicycle legs & bringing his knees up but that doesn’t seem to help but he brings his knees up himself sometimes but nothing happens. I’ve noticed since the 4 month mark he has started to struggle passing wind downwards! Any tips?

Are you winding him during and after every feed? X

Have you tried constipation medicine?

Might be the 4 month sleep regression

I fart my baby as soon as she wakes up and throughout the wake window too. Also when in desperate time I give gas drops. For night time she does struggle with gas so for night time I give her gripe water and it’s been helping her sleep better at night.

Warm bath, baby massages, and a baby warm wash cloth on the tummy is what helped me with my son

Gas drops work too

It passes but they go through alot of sleep regressions

Has anyone used these bottles?

Was wondering if anyone has used these and if they’re worth it? They’re around £25 a bottle but are meant to good?

What age should kids stop using a stroller?

Just came across a tiktok where moms were arguing what age a kid should stop using a stroller. This excludes kids with special needs.
What do you think?

Postpartum bleeding

When did everyone's bleeding stop? I am 3 weeks postpartum and everything bleeding wise settled after 1 week. Since one week I have worn a pad throughout the day as ive been having discharge similar to bloody show. MW wasnt concerned when i told her last week however, today I had some lower abdominal pain and have then had some red blood on wiping. Is anyone similar?

Disposable underwear

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
