Baby won’t sleep

Anyone else having issues with their newborn falling asleep? My baby is 1 week old today and even though he is fed he will not fall asleep! Diaper is changed, he is burped, yet he doesn’t want to rest. I naturally want to bring him to breast again, but I don’t know if I’m over feeding him.

This is happening to me! I couldn’t get him in his bassinet and I don’t want to co sleep my son is 10 days old I finally figured out he has his days and nights backwards - also I went off the hospital feeding time - don’t do that feed on demand they are growing. My son eats 2 oz every 1.5 - 2 hours and sometimes more sometimes less

Swaddling!!

My nb is 2wks old and he sleeps better during the day.. he will sleep at night but he wakes up a lot but its really just to feed

In the same boat with a 2 week old, definitely day night confusion. Just out here trying to survive

Overfeeding newborn?!

Today I found out from my GP that feed on demand relates to breastfeeding. I’ve in fact been overfeeding my precious newborn and I feel both embarrassed and guilty.

I’m neurodiverse so I took that phrase literally and although I shouldn’t I feel so bad. She’s been in pain and her stomach was large!! My husband was like that’s normal and I’m so happy I finally listened to myself to get it checked after being gaslit so many times.

Anyway, this is to say follow your instincts and ignore formula pack feeding guidance 😅

Car seat

What car seats did you move onto once your little one outgrew their first car seat? Any you’d recommended (or avoid)

Need to vent about my family im so upset

I was at my mums house with my sisters. I suddenly became very ill, they called an ambulance but no one wanted to keep my baby while I went hospital. In the end I had to tell the ambulance people I wouldn’t go with them as I have no one to watch my baby. They wer disgusted I could tell. They could hear my family saying no I can’t keep the baby I don’t want too. These are the same people who never visited me when my baby was born. I just feel so alone. In the end her dad watched her. I want to have another baby but I know no one will help keep my older baby. I just feel so shit :(

Naps times

11 month old refusing all naps, would you let them cry it out in their crib or allow them to stay awake or even try rocking them to sleep?

How long do you let your baby sleep for during a nap before you wake them up?

First time mum is this normal please?

My son is almost 3, he’s developing really well but I’ve noticed a few things where I’m like is this normal - he doesn’t like tags in his clothes, he cries if the tags are left on his clothes - he is really picky with his food, no meat - he screams so bad and throws up when he’s got to have a bath or have his hair washed - he doesn’t like getting ready in the morning etc. is this just normal for his age? Thanks x
