My baby is not even 4 days old and loves to roll on his left side to sleep.

No matter how many time I correct him back on his back he still rolls over. Should I be concerned? His bassinet isn’t wide enough for him to fully roll. When he side lays he can’t go farther than that.

My little girl did this too! I was so worried and mentioned to the health visitor when she came and she said not to worry whenever i see to roll her back, but don't keep checking. My little girl was in that exact position in my tummy so it was comfy for her! Eventually she stopped, then she started to roll properly and she went back to side sleeping ☺️

It’s called the newborn curl! Should disappear by 2 weeks

My daughter slept like this her first 3 months until she started rolling on her own.

This is called the newborn scrunch, it's usually due to residual muscle tension from birth. He should outgrow it. I don't think it's a problem as long as you continue putting him on his back when you put him down, and make sure there's nothing in there with him.

Roll up a recieving blanket and put on on this side so he cant roll.

So I’m calling doctors tomorrow but just wanna check in here see if anyone knows what’s wrong. My daughter is 5 months old and in the past 2 weeks she’s started making these noises like she struggling for breath it doesn’t seem to bother her much and I thought it was bc she was getting excited before as it does happen when she’s exited but it’s started to get random she could be just sat there and it happen anyone know what’s could’ve going on !

First birthday party timing

What’s the best timing for a first birthday party? (Garden party at home)
Currently 9.5m old, on 2 naps roughly 9 & 13:00. Thinking 11:00-14:00? Is it likely they will drop to 1 nap by then?

Health visitors

I’m just wondering if any of your health visitors have made you feel like you’re not doing a good job as a mum by asking questions?

At what age did your baby start using pillows and duvet?

Perhaps a silly question, but as a FTM, I'm not sure when I should introduce my baby to sleep with a pillow and duvet. He is going to turn 12 months soon and that thought just came to my mind- I have no idea when it should happen!

What tog number is the recommend one?

Is it normal…

Is it normal for babies to lose their shit whilst they’re asleep?
Last night my baby was sound asleep and then started properly crying - I checked and his eyes were closed so decided to hold on incase he settled himself!
He just kept crying but was still asleep, I ended up waking him up to settle him back down with boob, he went back to sleep and did a bit of a dream feed. Then he had a normal wake up and feed, and back to sleep 3 hours later. Then he did it again, but this time I just picked him up, patted his bum and he stopped.
Is it normal, and if it is can I so anything to stop it as I can’t sleep through his crying at all 🫣
