I think alot are feeling our babies arent sleeping well at mo. Mine will scream as soon as in cot and wont stop. Previously she will cry and fall asleep within 5-10 mins.

Now she is hysterical and i have ended up sharing the bed. She will only nap in car or pram during the day. Im exhausted as she just wants to bf all night! I had weaned her off this...any tips for sleep methods that have actually worked ????? Please share any tips or sleep methods.
Btw she eats loads during day and usually naps well. I just dint know how to get her to sleep in cot without hysterics.

Is this a normal thing?

I gave birth yesterday and had a second degree tear pretty much in a straight line downwards but not too close to my butt hole.
The midwife however had to put her finger up my butt twice when stitching me back together. It was traumatising on top of literally giving birth minutes beforehand 😭 Has anyone else had this happen?? She only explained the second time that she was checking she hadn't stitch into my anus which is OK but I'd rather have been told beforehand, also I don't understand why she'd need to check when she had just explained to me (and the student midwife) that the tear didn't go to the anus. Is this a normal check that they do?

I had a 2nd degree tear with my first baby but I'd had an epidural and was completely out of my face on other medications, mixed with just a terrible birth experience I didn't even take in when the doctor sewed me up, but they never mentioned abing yo put their fingers up there 😬

Tumble drying baby clothes

I have a tonne of new baby clothes I have to wash. I keep seeing everyone using the washing line to dry. Can I tumble dry baby clothes ?

Baby Monitor Recommendations?

Hey Mammas!
Looking into a baby monitor that isn’t easy for someone to hack into (my sister had someone hack into the WiFi on theirs and take a screen shot of their babies sleeping 😳). I would also like to be able to see my baby from work and talk to her.
Any suggestions? TIA!

My 3 month old has officially started cat napping and wakes up every 30 minutes! I feel like a zombie 😩

White noise for babies… I’m curious what everyone else does 🤍😴

A few questions for you all:

– Do you use white noise for naps, nighttime, or both?
– What type do you use (machine, app, YouTube, etc.)?
– Do you leave it on all night or turn it off once baby is asleep?
– What volume do you keep it at?
– Have you noticed it actually helps your baby settle?
– Do you worry about them becoming dependent on it?
– How long did you use it for?
– When (and how) did you stop using it? 👀
– Did stopping it affect your baby’s sleep at all?

Would love to hear different experiences because I’m still figuring out what works best! 🤍
