6 weeks old baby smiling
I swear I’m not crazy, my baby is smiling and it’s not because he’s got gas or it’s a reflex. Anyone else? Also, how cute is the cooing?

We have been getting lots of smiles this week, my LO is 6w5d and smiling lots and making the cutest little sounds 🥹
My little one is starting too as well! My first daughter smiled earlier than 6 weeks (but also could have been wind🤣🤣🫣🫣)
My boy is 6 weeks and is smiling alllll the time! Health visitor told me it’s a really good sign of development xx
My boy is 6 weeks on Saturday and has started smiling this week too, definitely not a reflex either 🥰x
My daughter is 6 weeks old tommorow and she has definitely been smiling for probably a week now properly and not reflux! My mum pointed it out and I said it’s just gas or reflux but a day after I realised myself it’s neither and it’s her act smiling to our voices which I didn’t expect so early! The cooing is my favourite xx

Feeding from bottle (my breast milk)
I have a 13 day old and I have been able to make enough Milk to feed my baby. Im a first time mom, so i dont know alot about babies and I have a lack of exposure to them growing up.
I currently have the philips Avant natural bottle with the super slow nipple (size 1). I noticed that my daughter takes very little volume (varies from 10 to 50 ml max per feed). My health care provider told me we should feed her atleast 70 ml per feed now, because she is lagging behind her target weight.
We already adjusted the house temp to 21 to 23 celsius and consistently feed her during her window. Is there something i should try? Help! Photo for easier tracking 😀

Period after birth
Hey mamas. I am 4 weeks postpartum and got my period. Or what I suspect is my period. Heavy bleeding, and stomach cramps. But I’m a google feen and looked it up. It says that it’s not typical to get your period 4 weeks postpartum if I’m combination feeding. I pump, and let her latch. Also supplementing with formula because I can’t keep up with her feedings sometimes.
I had a C-section on September 19th. I’m still healing in one specific spot that occasionally feels like tugging or pulling.
Has anyone else experienced this?

Advice pram sleep
Hi my 4 1/2 month old baby will almost only sleep in the pram during the day. We have to put her in the pram and take her out for walks in order for her to go to sleep. I have tried just pushing the pram back-and-forth in the garden but it rarely works. I’ve also tried doing it in the house that almost never works. I’ve tried rocking her to sleep. I’ve tried putting her in a dark room during the day. Does anyone have any advice on how I can try and get my daughter to take daytime naps where I’m not having to put her in a pram and walk her, obviously with the weather turning colder. I’m very reluctant to have to leave the house 4 to 5 times a day and walk just so I can get her to nap.

Front Sleeping
Does anyone else put baby on front to sleep? I don’t need comments telling me the guidance, I know it but baby is suffering with reflux, much happier on their front, 4 months old and can roll both ways but doesn’t roll in the night, just wakes up screaming.
Has anyone with a baby who rolls ever put them down on their front or been advised to due to similar issues?
