Broken sleep for over two months

My baby boy gets so congested through the night but is absolutely fine in the day, we’ve had multiple doctors visits now but don’t seem to be getting no where. Has anyone else had this issue and if so please could I have advice? We’re both not getting much sleep in the night and it’s exhausting.😢

Poor thing, have you tried saline nose spray to clear him out?

We had this when my son was a baby. We used saline drops every night before bed. He has grown out of it. Sorry I don’t know the age of your baby but has it gotten worse when it’s cold and you’re using heating? I was convinced it was caused by like dust rising from the radiators

We had the exact same issue with my babe. We got a cool mist humidifier from Amazon and she doesn’t struggle at night time anymore!

I have the exact same thing with my little boy! Someone actually mentioned could it be a cows milk allergy! We have been to the drs too! So hard!

We made a small tilt with his cot (literally a book under each leg at one side), Saline spray and the vicks plug in! The plug in did definitely seem to help!!

LIQUID GOLD

first pump session to collect colostrum before my little lady gets here and HOLY MOLY I got just a little over 30ml (bag is flat don’t let the 2oz line fool you) I am so proud of my body, really hoping I can keep this up since breastfeeding my first did not go well and was cut short

Poo in every single nappy!

My 7 month old is pooing extremly frequently. It’s every 30 mins to an hour she poos! Only really small ones but yellow and runny. Not sure if this is a tummy bug or normal? She only was pooing once a day and it was solid!

Sleeping

Is it normal for my 8 month old to have 3 naps a day? He wakes once in the night for a bottle but apart from that sleeps at night usually from 6:30/7pm-6/7am ish. And his wake windows are usually 2-3 hours

I don’t know when to drop a nap and his naps usually only last 30 mins

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?

Feeds during nursery day

My daughter is starting nursery 3 days a week in June (will have turned one 3 days prior). She still breast feeds at least 3 times during the day. I’m not sure what to do when she starts nursery as I find it hard to get any milk when I express so don’t think that’ll be an option. Has anyone found that when their just turned 1 year old has started nursery that they just adapt without being BF during the day?

The closer we’re getting, the more anxious I feel about it😫

For those who have an awful sleeper…

How many goods nights of sleep on average does your toddler or baby give you?

Please only answer if you would class your baby as being an awful sleeper. Including, frequent wake ups, long re-settling times, taking ages to go to sleep/sleep refusal, low sleep needs (sleeps significantly less than recommended for their age).

My baby has always been a bad sleeper and I would say that I only get 1-2 good nights a week (if lucky). I have already had to resettle him twice since he went to bed at 7:30 😭
