GHIC card for baby

Has anyone successfully applied for this for their baby? The NHS page says you need a NI number which obviously I don’t have for my baby. Otherwise it says I can add family members to my
own application, but I already have a card. Hope someone can help!

If you have a GHIC for yourself already, just use this form to say you need one for your baby too - give them your name, dob, address and the same details for your baby! https://faq-ohs.nhsbsa.nhs.uk/contact-us/

Waking up at 4am, fully awake

I cannot get my LO back to sleep 💤
We put her to bed later than usual (half 8 rather than half 6/7), we make sure her last wake window is long and active for better sleep, she goes down really well, but she keeps waking at half 4 and then she's treating it as her first wake window.
Because she's going to bed at 8ish rather than her usual half 6 we're not getting our dinner until much later and not heading to bed until much later too so I'm exhausted 😭 she was doing really well until this heat...is it just a heat thing? How do I help her get back to sleep??

Shein clothes

Im starting to look at getting some clothes. My partner doesn't like the idea of clothes from Shien because of the possible chemicals. Has anyone ever had any issues with baby clothes from them?

My babys sleep im worried

Does anyone else's baby sleep through the night? I'm worried because the last to nights my baby has slept from 10/11pm till 7am but this is a new thing that started about 3 days ago normally hed wake up around 4/5 for a bottle, hes having enough ounces during the day so I dont know whether he is cluster feeding then just sleeping through the night. But if I search it it says its unusual and could be something going on hes 3 months old xx

Toddler discipline...is it only spanking that works!?

My son is 2 in August and of course being very difficult now. I follow parenting clips online with Deborah tilman and she is great. No kid beating involved. But the comments are then full of people saying the kid needs spanking...
I have to admit gentle parenting won't really work on my son he doesn't want negotiations and explanations, he needs natural consequences as he just doesn't listen or understand. But I don't want to hit him...
For example bath time has become a fight so last night I just dumped him in still crying and washed him anyway, no messing.
Is there somewhere between spanking (illegal in the UK where I am) and gentle parenting?

Burping a newborn

Does anyone have any tips for burping a newborn. My baby is 2 weeks old and breastfed, and I've been really struggling to get any good burps out of him.

I know that breastfed babies generally have less gas, but sometimes he does the little gassy smile or scrunches his knees up & no matter what I try I can't get a burp out of him. He's also very fussy and wriggly when I get him into any burping position.
