Side sleeping

I woke up this morning and my 11 week old was on his side!
1. I didn’t know he could do this!?
2. I panicked and put him back on his back but he rolled back over!
3. I put his dummy in because I panicked and when I rolled him back he rolled again!
Is this okay? Do I need to keep him on his back?
He seemed very content and I don’t know how to police back sleeping whilst also getting sleep myself, and I’m terrified of sids 😩

Formula feeding moms.

Hi, my baby is 4 weeks old today and he’s drinking 150ml which equals to 5.28 uk oz every 4 hours, he drains the bottle & starts to become unsettled around the 2 and a half / 3 hour mark and nearly chews my hand off for his dummy. I’m going to speak to my health visitor about upping his oz but every time I’ve googled it, they say that it’s far too much for his age. Anyone else had this with their little one?

Exemption Certificate

I am 4 months postpartum and I’ve only just realised that I’ve never got my exemption certificate. Has anyone else been in the same boat before and managed to get one so late on?🤦🏼‍♀️

Epidural

Ngl, I need a little pick me up, I feel very defeated tonight; my mind isnt being kind. I know I shouldnt compare but I cant help but do it but all my friends who have had babies didnt have the epidural, all they had was gas and air and now I wish I never had it, its messed my back up and I feel weak that I had it.

Can I hear some positive stories about the epidural, if there is any. My back hasnt been the same since and its really getting me down.
