Hubby/Birth Partner stay overnight in hospital??

Hi! So with my last baby, birth partners staying overnight in hospital was not a thing but I understand most hospitals let them stay overnight now. Do the majority of people plan to have their partner stay overnight or will they be going home to get some sleep so they are more energised to help when you go home from hospital? Currently undecided what is the best idea

Newborn and sleep

Hey ladies
2 days post partum, I know people say sleep when baby sleeps but did anyone else struggle to relax when baby is sleeping due to concerns around if baby is ok, if they spit up in sleep, etc. etc. I can’t switch off and just looking for some reassurance thank

Changing newborn a second time post feed?

(Formula fed baby) - Our newborn is usually changed and then fed in the middle of the night but recently as they’re drinking more, they tend to then need changing a second time post feed as we can hear them 💩 half way through. We’ve found changing them the second time then stops them going down after the feed. Is there anything we can do to help them go down after? What do others doing in this case? Would you feed more?

Was I wrong?

I yelled at my SD today because she was in my babies face. My baby turns 1 in a few weeks and has been sick every other month because of my SD. Since I met my SD (about 4 yrs now) she’s been sick with a cough for about 85% of the time. At 4 months, she gave my baby Covid and my baby has been sick every other month because she’s constantly sick since her mother allows her to go outside without properly covering up, or without giving her any medicine.

I have told my partner plenty of times to be the person to push boundaries when she is sick since she’ll just be all over my baby. Today I had enough because my baby is sick once again due to my SD coughing and not covering her face and constantly being in my babies face.

So I yelled at her, “get out of her face, you’re sick and you got her sick too!” I rarely ever raise my voice at her and she just stopped stunned. My partner just said “she’s right she keeps telling you” and that was it. Two seconds later, she’s back all over the baby and he’s back to not saying nothing. So I grabbed my baby and locked us in the room. He just sat there like where you going we’re hanging out? But like come on?! He doesn’t even hear her wake up and cry out of discomfort in the middle of the night. So am I wrong for being upset that now my Mother’s Day consists of me taking care of a sick baby because of his negligent parenting and her lack of boundaries no matter how many times I repeat myself?!?!

18 month old co sleeping

My 18 month old boy is still sleeping with me and still breast feeding and night with frequent wakes - I’ve found that when he was younger it worked as he slept better, however I’m really struggling just now as I’m literally getting no sleep or rest. Any recommendations please.

Thanks

Bath products

When did everyone introduce bath products e.g. body wash/shampoo for their babies? I’ve not done it yet as my partner has eczema so I’m nervous I strip babies skin and make it dry

Waking at 5am every day

Anyone else’s 8 month old waking up at 5am every single day? No matter what time he goes to sleep he wakes up at 5am. He usually goes to sleep at 7pm ish after been awake for 2.5-3 hours and then he usually sleeps through until 5.
Last night he went to sleep at 7 after been awake 3 hours, woke up at 10:30pm and then 3:40am and then 5 so even though he was awake in the night he still woke at 5😩
I don’t know how to get him to sleep longer than 5am!
