Pushchair vs carrycot

Has anybody put their bay in the seat attachment yet or are they still in the carry cot. My baby is really nosey and I feel like she’d benefit from being in the pushchair attachment so that she can see but I still feel like she’s small and should be in the carrycot. I know people with older babies who are still in the carrycot so I’m just not sure.

She cries when she’s in the carry cot but is really happy when I pick her up and she can look around. Think part of it is I’m not ready for her to be in the pushchair as it makes her seem like a bigger baby than she is.

Any advice would be appreciated

I’ve swapped my boy to the big seat purely because he’s nosey! Maybe takw her for a walk in the seat attachment part and see how you feel about it? See if she appears to like it better. My boy loves being able to look around and see me properly x

I’ve recently moved my little boy into the pushchair attachment for the same reasons - he can still lay slightly flat but with an incline, he’s so much calmer now as would just scream constantly in the carrycot as he wanted to see all the time!

Still in carry cot for my baby (14 weeks) but most prams the seat attachment can lay flat for this age. I think it’s more because of their spine they need to be laid flat. But I know people who have already got their babies in the seat attainment at this age xx

I moved mine into the seat attachment at 3 months because he just loves being able to look around as long as it lies back and it’s okay in your pram manual for your babies weight there’s no problem 🥰

I gave up with the carrycot after the first month, I didn’t get along with it as it’s so bulky! Little one is find in the seat attachment (our Joie is suitable from birth). Plus that way we can attach the buggy board for our eldest ☺️

Baby breathes fast and slow during sleep?

I’m freaking out a bit! does anyone else notice this with their baby?

Putting themselves to sleep

Ok I know this might seem daft but has anybody else's baby started going to sleep themselves

I put Freya down to make her a bottle today and I came back and she was fast asleep

Apparently according to her dad she does this during the night

AND she slept 9:30pm until 5:50am today all the way through I'm grateful but just wondering if it's normal

Clinginess

I have a 9 week old and when he was first born the minute I put him down he’d cry it got to point where I was barely getting an hour sleep every night cause he wouldn’t even settle on my partner, he’s now 9 weeks and exactly the same once my partner went back to work it left me with the only option of co sleeping with him otherwise it’d be more dangerous me being so tired around him I feel as tho it’s only made it worst he can’t stand being put down it leaves me in a situation where I can’t do anything for myself cause he’s in my arms constantly I try with morning feed like once he’s don’t feeding I wait 20 mins then they transfer him I’ve tried every method swaddling, feet them bum then head then hand gently on chest we do car rides but he wakes up as soon as car stops pram walks he’s familiar with feeling of the stones under pram on our drive so wakes up I’ve tried carrier but once put down wakes up again, I love him to pieces but it gets overwhelming especially with the dog as the dog follows me around and wants attention to not to mention the house is a mess and my partner tried his best but he work long hours it’s driving me insane especially the crying it’s not like a slight cry it’s like cry until can’t catch breath kind of cry until I pick him up again

Nursery help!

11 m baby boy did great in his settling in sessions. Only cried when I picked him up. But since starting properly this week it's been a nightmare. He's waking up earlier so a long wake before first nap , having 30 mins naps there so he's exhausted when we pick him up. They said he's crying and upset most the day, they cant put him down. I picked him up early today because he's so exhausted he's struggling.
I feel so so awful that he's struggling.
Does anyone have any tips or just reassurance that it will get better?

Annoyed

I am so sick of my family telling me “there’s something wrong with your baby” all the time. She’s my second born my first is a boy he was a calm baby. She cries a lot. It’s just really getting to me now. I tell them it’s because she’s tired or overstimulated and they are like “why is she overstimulated?” Like hello she’s a baby!!!!!!

Baby mostly sleeps during the day

Is that normal for my 5weeks old to sleep most of the day? He basically stays up maybe for 30’ then he wants to sleep again. He fusses and wants to feed to sleep. We do very little , no tummy time.
What’s your baby doing?
