Help

My newborn won’t settle unless she’s in my arms and I need sleep. I’m on the verge of passing out constantly and have started hallucinating. Any advice is helpful

I’ve put a shirt I was wearing all day next to my son when he was like this he did outgrow it luckily but sometimes it’s just your smell that’ll help

idk if you believe in it but cosleeping saved me!!! put blankets up to your waist, pillows above your hands and use your body to form a C…. my baby is 7 months now and we cosleep

Look up happycosleeper on instagram and learn about the safe sleep 7 and the C-curl etc - lifesaver!

This was me, and we ended up co-sleeping and at 4month pp we still are. I originally was against the whole thing, safe sleep really gets drilled into you but I’d now argue the safest thing for you and baby is to get some sleep. You’re so hyper aware of any movement it’s ridiculous. My boy literally sleeps in my arms or across my chest.

I’m not a mover in my sleep, but if I need to turn over I just take the baby with me!

Look at the lullabies trust website for help with co-sleeping.

Getting jiggy with child about

My partner will try to get jiggy when our 4 year old is around. Ive told him multiple times it is a huge turn off knowing they could run in and catch us but it seems to fall of deaf ears!!!!
What others feelings on this?

Comments from people about your child

Today i went to a cafe and a woman working in the cafe made a comment about my baby - said something like “shes a cheeky one, cries when i look at her”. My baby was crying so much as she looked at my baby so i was trying to console her and couldnt say anything back to her. But i said yes shes uncomfortable and she said “ill keep looking if she cries”. I was so angry that i just couldnt respond and took my baby away and later the woman disappeared.

I feel really guilty and sad about not being able to say anything back to her and not showing my anger in the moment. I also feel like i was not able to protect my baby from that woman although i took her away.

Has anyone had anything like that happen before and how did you manage comments like this?

11 week with poor core strength

Hi all. I have a delightful 11 week old who is just so easy going and lovely ♥️ he is meeting all his milestones in terms of smiling and interacting. He has stated to bat toys and is now becoming very interested in us all which is so lovely.

My concern is that I've noticed that he is still very slouched when picked up. He struggles to hold his head up ( which he does a little when sitting him up and talking to him) but not like my other children did at this stage. He also HATES tummy time. When I say hate I mean he full on face plants and becomes extremely distressed the moment he realises he is on his tummy ! I have tried putting toys around him, only trying when he is in a happy mood. He will quite happily lie on my chest elevated but doesn't make much attempt to lift his head (he just snuggles)

I'm getting worried. I attempt some form of tummy time during each wake window but it makes him so unhappy and upset 😢 which breaks my heart.

Has anyone experienced this ? Any tips or suggestions would be really helpful

Thank you x

behavior

does anyone struggle with terrible behavior from their baby boys? my oldest toddler will be 3 in july and the way he acts with me vs. dad is terrible. he doesn’t listen to me most of the time, he has the worst breakdowns and tantrums with me, etc & now his younger brothers are starting to pick up on that and being at home with them has started to become a lot the past few days 🫩 if any mamas had this problem, what did you do? how did it get better? (if it has)

Weightloss

Does anyone know if it’s safe to take mounjaro whilst breastfeeding?

Comments about my 5 week PP belly are making me more uncomfortable. Prior to pregnancy I lost 7kgs☹️

Nappies

Anyone found a good night nappy? She is leaking with both size 1 and 2 overnight with the Tesco ones 😞
