Husband snoring with newborn in the room

My baby is 5 weeks old. My husband has been snoring recently, not loud and not all the time, but just randomly he'll start snoring and it's just loud enough to startle baby and fully wakes her sometimes. I keep gently rolling him back over to his side but even on his side he'll snore sometimes. It also keeps me awake as I'm a light sleeper and have major anxiety atm so struggling to sleep as it is..
Is there anything he can do to help the snoring?
There isn't anywhere else for him to sleep, we don't have a spare room and the couch isn't comfortable for sleeping either

maybe he needs a CPAP? can he contact a doctor or medical professional to help him? everyone needs sleep, especially you!

Maybe those snoring strips. My hubs did right after baby born too we were both tired with the newborn.

I wouldn’t care how comfortable or uncomfortable the sofa is, he’d be out there. If he’s disturbing both yours and babies sleep… sorry but boy bye. Couch it is 😅 or buy a blow up bed and he can sleep in another room?

My husband has a massively deviated septum. The magnetic little strip with stickers is all that worked if he’s willing to wear them and it’s an airway issue

I would definitely recommend a sleep study. My husband intermittently snores, but he doesn't have obstructive sleep apnea so its not constant. He does however have low oxygen and that eventually caused the intermittent snoring when his body was trying to force more air.
It's always worth taking snoring seriously.

Try having him sleep propped up on an extra pillow or two! I’d also recommend ear plugs for you. I used them because my husband snores too but I could still hear my baby when she woke up.

Do you already sleep with white noise going? If not that could help drown it out and not wake the baby

Does this nappy look to big?

He’s just in the size bracket for the pampers and I haven’t really used them before and bit of poop came out of the top of the back.

Cot bumpers/rolling in cot

Hey all,

My six month old daughter can roll from back to front, but she cannot yet roll front to back. She is currently rolling in her cot and not able to roll back onto her back.

She is in her own room now, and I’m getting worried that I won’t hear her in the middle of the night if she’s on her front.

I was wondering if there is anything out there that can help prevent her rolling in the cot.

I also need recommendations for cot bumpers due to her getting her legs stuck through the panels on the cot when rolling (picture of cot below).

Thank you x

I got the ick, am I terrible?

I’ve been getting the ick from mother in law and really wish I wouldn’t!

I’m 7mos postpartum and it’s still just as strong as when I was freshly postpartum but I’d been shoving it down hoping it’d disappear. It’s to the point where I wash everything after she holds baby and want to bathe her right after but worried I’d offend my husband. She kisses her so much, like keeps her lips on her when she’s holding her, and I’ve never told her not to but it drives me crazy and now she’s given her a nickname that’s after her own name (she’s named after the women in my family so it feels weirdly personal).

Am I just hormonal af???

I’m So Proud

I got my baby hair to grow finally she’s now 7 months you got to maintain girls hair twice a day

Are you happy?

If you’re not, please reach out to someone (professional and personal)

Thanks to seeing my doctor when I was struggling and choosing a fairly low dose of medication I can now click ‘mostly’ on this poll.

Before; it would have been ‘no’.
Not because I am unhappy in my relationship or with my 3 young children but because I wasn’t feeling myself and wasn’t being the best I could be for them (I looked after them all and even played with them but I personally felt like shit)

Now I feel so much better and almost every day is a happy one since I have sought help so I encourage people in the same position as I was to do the same xx

Waking up baby for feeding - sleeping a lot in heatwave

How do you wake up your baby if they need to be fed?
With the heatwave my baby (5 weeks) is sleeping a lot at the moment but want to wake every 2-3 hours for feeding so he doesn't get dehydrated (and so my b00bs don't get too engorged!), but I am struggling to get him awake enough to feed 🙈
I have tried a nappy change and nappy free time but doesn't seem to have made a difference.
Any tips?
