New club

When is the meeting for the no sleep club? Cause I want to scold the president of it. My little girl is 2 months and doesn’t want to sleep. Even at bed time I’ll put her down after her last feeding at 9 and she will sleep for an hour then she is up crying. I feel guilty cause I want to hold her and calm her but I am exhausted mentally and physically.

Baby 4 days old

All my baby does is sleep the last 2 days, he wakes for breast milk every 2-3 hours and may stay awake for 5-10 minutes after. He has slight jaundice but the midwife wasn’t concerned. Nothing keeps him awake, is this normal?

Sleep training

Any recos on sleep training? Baby only does contact naps, doesn’t like sleeping on her own and isn’t soothing herself back to sleep everytime I try to get her to nap on her own. I’ve tried warm clothes and mattress, keeping my tshirt next to her till she falls asleep, white noise is always on. Baby is 3.5 months rn and I go back to work next week.

Baby wants boobs all the time

I'm 4.5 weeks postpartum and baby just seems to wants to be on my breasts all the time especially in the evening. As such, we tend to give her some pumped breast milk as that would satisfy her for awhile. It also seems someone else would need to hold her otherwise she continues to root and wanting my breasts but would otherwise stop if someone else held her. Is this normal? I'm doubting myself if she is feeding efficiently and so I tend to pump a bit more often so I can see how much she is taking but it is tiring to do combo feeding. She has at least 6 wet nappies in a day but her weight growth is a bit slower.

Drinking whilst breastfeeding

Is it safe to have a glass of wine whilst breast feeding or not? Some people say it’s fine others say differently

Night feeds

How does everyone cope with night feeds? My baby is 4 weeks old, and is formula / bottle fed. Generally wakes every 3 hours for his feed. Thank you!

I cannot lay him down

Any time I try to hand my son to someone or lay him down he screams and cries even when I give him to his father. It's usually okay if he can see me but the second I try to go out of the room to get something done he just screams inconsolably. Nothing is working. I need help
