Doesn’t sleep in the car

Anyone else have a baby that doesn’t fall asleep in the car or just me? 🤦🏻‍♀️😩
She’s been this way pretty much since she’s been born, bar the first few weeks. She never falls asleep in the car, UNLESS I’m sitting next to her, holding her hand and shushing, it still can still take a while and she still moans this way. It’s so frustrating she won’t just fall asleep in there when she’s tired. This girl fights sleep like there’s no tomorrow and I’m sooo tired of it.

My daughter dont either 😂think she just wants to watch the world go buy,i was thinking about getting a black out blind for the car hoping she might sleep that way.

My little boy is 3 now but up to about a year old (probably slightly longer) he would scream the whole time he was in his car seat. My husbands family live in Scotland and we drove a few times and it was around 4 hours in the car and he’d stay awake the whole time screaming and crying, he’d make himself sick it was so bad. Even 10 minute drives he’d go mental. He never ever slept in the car. Then one day it was literally like it had never happened, not one single tear shed again. Wild. I felt so cheated because everyone talks about the car being great for getting them to sleep but not for him, although disclaimer he was the worst sleeper I’ve ever met in general x

When you had a baby and you decided to breast feed did you feel that nurses were pushing formula?

My baby is not even 2 days old and she's been nursing super well according to the lactation specialist. She was born by c section so weight loss is expected to be higher than by vaginal birth due to the fluids given. I'm booked into see my doctor for the baby and I and lactation consultant at the doctors yet this nurse won't stop asking if I want to give formula so she can pee more and gain back her weight fast.

You just changed your baby’s diaper, but realise you have to use the bathroom. Do you wash your hands..

Should I make a poll series on hand washing because I’ve been here long enough to know it’s not happening as much as it should lol

Are we just staying in bed for 12 hours a night?

Right now I’m going to bed when my baby does at 8pm and staying there until his morning wake usually around 7. Does anyone else do this? He sleeps on top of me and usually wakes up and just crawls back on me when I try to put him down. What are your tips for sneaking away?

Reducing formula feeds

I've just been told by my nursery that they wont give bottles of/and formula from 1 year one, my little boys 1 in 3 weeks.
Looking for advice on how to reduce his formula intake?
Hes loves both food and milk 🫣 I think he will drink cows milk so that's not the issue im more concerned about the fact that hes in a routine with his bottles.

Sleep

7 month old still doesn't sleep through the night 😭 wakes up 2/3 times a night. Normal or nah?

Baby won’t go in pram

Hi my 9 week old hates the pram. She screams the entire time she’s in there. I’m at a loss. She’s never liked it. She will go in the baby carrier happily but is completely against the pram. Any advice
