Bedtime

My 3 month old recently only falls a sleep in my arms and when I try putting him down in the next to me he cries. I then tried putting him in my bed and then transferring him into the next to me but this is also not working. He cries erratically. Any suggestions please.

My baby is the same he is 10 weeks and the longest sleep he will have is on me. When i put him down he wakes before 1hr

The problem with my child was that he wasnt comfy. laying him flat on his back would not help him and would wake him thats y any difference in position would cause him to cry.

People also say that if u kind of put ur scent on some material (i would say a muslin) and put it next to them that helps. Some people say to swaddle (if i did that to my child he would throw a hissy fit).
Some say put white noise on but all babies are different u just have to try and see what works.

Honestly the amount of times ive just been like screw this imma get myself comfy and make sure hes safe and fall asleep with him is unreal but its the only way u can get sleep sometimes

Thats all very normal

Baby breathes fast and slow during sleep?

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

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

First night in cot

Ladies I need advice and support, tonight is the first night my little boy is going to sleep in his big cot in his own room for the last 7 months he has always been in his next to me crib in my room I need advice and support of how tonight will go I'm currently sat at the top of my stairs crying my eyes out due to knowing my little boy isn't going to be in my room on a night anymore. What can I do to help him fall asleep in his own room. Please help a mamma out x

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?
