Side & stomach sleepers. HELP

Baby girl is officially a side & occasionally stomach sleeper. She can crawl & roll just fine but in her cot she struggle to get comfortable in her sleep because her sleeping bag restricts her movement. Like if she is trying to get on her side or stomach it wakes her up.

We're using the Snuz sleeping bags.

Any tips? Do your side/stomach sleepers have this issue?

What size sleep sack are they in. We are in a 6-12 month sleep sack and my son goes straight on side when I put him down and the on front fine x

Can you not get a larger size? Or they even do one with legs (just not a togged sleepsuit). X

We have the Next sleep sacks and they are really good as they allow for movement but aren’t too long. My daughter also insists on sleeping on her tummy 🩷

Our little one has a 3.5 tog bag still and now always sleeps on her face. Ive given up turning her, she can turn her head fine and sleeps better when she is on her front

We had the snuz sleeping bags and she managed to get to her side ok now and sleeps but it took awhile for her to not roll back and wake herself up. Even though she rolls in the day. Now she is fine.

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.

1 week postpartum

Hi, I’m 1 week postpartum and exclusively breastfeeding. My baby last had a poo on 20th March (when she was 3 days old) and hasn’t had one since… just wet nappies. She seems very okay too. Is this normal? I’m seeing the health visitor on Monday but just wanted some reassurance thanks x

Last nap of the day

When does everyones babies last nap of the day roughly end and then when is bedtime ?

My son naps 3/4 times a day but only 30/40 mins at a time and that's contact napping or in cot . In his awake windows you can tell he's tired but I cannot get him to extend the naps at all . Going off chat gpt because of this they recommend bedtime as early as 5.45 up until 6.30 most evenings . Which is fine for him he will go to sleep but it's not for me as he co sleeps so I'm then stuck up stairs all evening , don't have time to shower , eat , clean anything and it's just taking over as I do not get a minute. Any advice welcome

Dummy dilemma

My LO is 4.5 months old and pre birth i was quite adamant that I didn't want her to have a dummy. About 4 days in we caved and it gave some well needed relief in those first few months! She used to only have it during the day and didn't need it at night. Since the delightful sleep regression has hit we have found ourselves just using it to settle her during the night. As such, we are now finding ourselves having to put it back in about 5-6 times a night, maybe more and I'm cursing the day i ever bloody bought one because now I think she is so reliant on it! Considering going cold turkey but don't feel mentally prepared for it. Has anyone tried just getting rid of them and riding it out? I wish I'd never bought one but I have no idea what I would do now in the early hours to settle her! Hoping to sleep train at 6 months and the general advice is to not do that with the dummy. I'm driving myself mad with how much I feel like I've made her be so comforted by it 😒 x
