Sleep training

Has anyone purchased the sleep training program from takingcarababies?? Does it involve anything close to the Ferber method or allowing the baby to cry for extended periods? I have a screamer. He screams hardcore when put to bed awake. I have to rock him and put him down asleep. It was working great and he would sleep the whole night until the dreaded 4-5 month sleep regression hit. Now he wakes up every few hours and it’s so hard to put him down without feeding him. I tried the Ferber method and I can’t even get to 10 minutes because I swear it sounds like I’m ab*sing him. He won’t stop screaming until you pick him up and it’s bad. He is also a belly sleeper, it was the only way he would sleep when born. We have the nanit to track his breathing and make sure he is safe. Now he is rolling and will roll over when put down on his belly. So he gets real mad because he hates being on his back. I want to purchase that program because I’ve read nothing but great things about it but don’t want to waste money if it involves ignoring his screams. Thank you in advance mommas! 💕

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!

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! 🤍

No poo

My 6 week old has not pooed for 6 days yet, he has gone for 3-4 days but now it’s 6 days and I’m breastfeeding any advice ?

Sleep

Baby boy has never slept through the night which we accepted early on, contact naps in day. The hourly waking up is driving us crazy. Exclusively breastfeeding and as weeks go on he is adamant to be fed to sleep and uses it as comfort through out the night. Really considering a sleep trainer but heard mixed reviews about this as they don’t always stick to the routine. My husband helps as much as he can which is great. Any tips and honest advice will be so so appreciated please!!! 7 months in and I’m losing hope…

Someone reassure me please

I’ve had such a hectic day, but I washed my son’s cot mattress sheet (we only have 1 atm long story) but I put him to bed and completely forgot to put it back on.

I’m not a bad mum right?? He wakes up around 3.30/4am and I will put it back on then. But he will be fine without it till then won’t he? I’ve never done this and feel so bad for some reason!!
