Rolling in the night

Help! My baby has started rolling on her front during her sleep?? She’s 3 months old and it’s freaking me out? Is this safe? Is there something I can do to stop her? Co sleep? It’s making me so anxious 😬

If you are placing her on her back to sleep and she rolls over independently it is generally safe to leave her. I assume you’re sleeping in the same room too. You could also get reassurance from your health worker if you’re feeling super anxious xx

Usually if they can get themselves in that position it’s safe, make sure the sleeping space is clear and safe.
I wouldn’t cosleep just for this reason
In the day practice as much as possible getting in and out of that position so baby knows what to do at night

As long as baby can roll, it is okay for her to sleep on her tummy x

Arguing with husband during nightly wake ups

Hi guys,
We have a 22 month old who still wakes once or twice a night. She's always been a poor sleeper, so this is actually a big improvement. My husband and I take turns with night wake-ups, but lately he's started taking ages to respond when it's his turn, and it's driving me mad.
I'll hear our daughter crying and getting more upset while he just lies there watching the monitor, then goes downstairs for a drink or faffs about before finally going to her. By then, what could have been a quick cuddle and dummy often turns into a much longer ordeal because she's fully awake and distressed.
His reasoning is that she's older now and he wants to give her a chance to resettle herself. I understand that when she's calm and just stirring and she has been known to do this on occasion put herself back to sleep. But he's also doing it when she's actively crying and calling for us. To me, that's very different and a sign she needs comfort.
The other issue is that once I'm awake, I struggle to get back to sleep, whereas he can fall asleep instantly. The whole point of taking turns is that the other parent gets a chance to rest, but I'm often lying there awake listening to her cry while he waits. I’m then up for hours.

A few times I've ended up going in to sort her myself because I can't bear listening to it any longer. Plus I want to get it done so I can try get back to sleep. I’m so tired and it’s adding real negative vibes in the night because I wanna scream at him. I’m so resentful towards him by the morning i practically don’t even wanna talk to him.

I’ve tried to talk to him but it’s falling on deaf ears. I need advice or opinions.

I feel isolated and defeated

On May 25th a baby in family passed away.. she was only 5 months old

Her parents are lying about the cause of death and I knew because the mother told someone I know
I reported this to the hospital she passed away at… My family thinks I did the wrong thing by reporting this before the baby was buried and that I should’ve waited because “god was going to handle it” or some other bullshit excuses… I reported it on Friday, 4 days after she passed away.. My family is ignoring me and calling me mean names and telling me it’s not my business to do what I did but I don’t see how I’m wrong because this is a baby that lost her life due to unsafe cosleeping. She was suffocated by her dad in both of their sleep from what I’m being told and they told the hospital she was suffocated in her crib by a blanket. My thing is why lie? I wouldn’t lie about this if I was innocent.. I guess I’m ranting because I’m hurt my family isn’t on my side in reporting this… I loved my family so much and now it’s just me, my man, and our child..

Post C section period

Hello ladies ! I’m a bit worried… 7weeks post partum today started bleeding two days ago ..not soaking any pad yet just at wiping there’s bleeding but I have lower back pain /period like pain/ scar pain feeling inside and boobs are super sore … im exclusively breastfeeding. Now since I’m breastfeeding no one mention that period can return this early so I’m worried if it’s the beginning of my period or something else happening?

Post c section only bled for a week then fully stopped , bleeding never was heavy almost didn’t required pads. Pls share your thoughts 🙏🏻

Ugh 😫

I have been holding my baby for the last 48 hours, she doesn’t want to be put down, not even to sleep. (Granted I know she doesn’t feel the best right now). So I’m running off no sleep, which is fine, but I haven’t been able to get anything done, and I have 3 assignments due tomorrow at midnight🥲 Even when my husband comes home from work he’s no help because all she does is cry when he holds her 🙃 (he does try, she just doesn’t want any part of it)

Validate me or give me advice pls

Okay okay. I’m 12 days postpartum. My daughter was iugr and was losing too much weight in the hospital. The doctors had me pumping and supplementing with donor milk/formula. Going home, I followed their advice and continued to breastfeed, then pump, and give her formula after to continue weight gain. I’m exhausted and have been crying through most of the past couple days. My girl will stay latched for hours if i let her and she falls asleep every 5 minutes and then still be hungry after. My supply cannot keep up with her hunger either. My mental health has not been the best the past few days and I decided today that we are just going 100% formula. There’s relief knowing I get my body back and i can resume my adhd meds. I know this is best for me and my mental health, but I’m filled with enormous guilt… Like I’m letting her down and i didnt try hard enough. 🥲
