Baby won't sleep in cot anymore.

My 4 week old baby slept really well in her cot for the first four weeks but in the last two days she kicks off when I try to put her in the cot after she has fallen asleep on me breastfeeding. She sleeps deeply on mine or my husband's chest but it's unsafe I guess as I fall into a deep sleep too with her on me.. any tips? It's really exhausting her not sleeping in the cot as it limits me being able to do anything in the day and at night it's not safe.

I saw another post how someone's been using a (rockit) on their cot I took mine off the pram and put it on the cot and it's helped massively

Do you kiss your kids on the lips?

I was at playgroup today with my 1 and 2 year old chatting with another mum whilst they were running around and my eldest came up to me mid chat and put her hand on my shoulder and leaned in for a kiss then hugged me and ran off I obviously kissed her back. My youngest copies everything her big sister does and did the same.

The mum I was talking to asked me don’t I feel strange them kissing me on the lips that she won’t let her little boy. I never thought about it but now I’m thinking is this weird I do it? Should I stop them kissing me on the lips and stick to kissing on their forehead 🥴

Freaking out- flat spot on baby’s head.

So I took my little one to the doctor he’s 4 months old and the pediatrician sent a referral to a social worker for in house PT I’m concerned. I’m doing my best to reshape his head. I’m just upset do they think I’m neglecting my baby? This is only the 1st time my doctor told me they were concerned about his flat spot I have always asked in the past

Help

My Baby is nine months old and he doesn’t say mama or dada or bye-bye yet and my pediatrician expects him to learn that in three weeks when we go back what do I do he knows his name but won’t say mama or dada. Does anybody have any advice?

Feeds

My baby is 6 weeks and has been taking 5 ounce bottles every 3-4 hours since she was 2 weeks old but is starting to look for more. Is anyone else’s baby this age taking 5+ ounces? I’m scared to put her up incase it’s too much but she’s constantly hungry

Grunting baby

For the last 5 weeks, my baby has been generally easy to put down at night but the past 3 nights have been absolute hell. From 2/3 am he will grunt and squirm like he wants to poo and wants to be held but even then he still squirms like crazy. Anyone experiencing the same? This is my second and I co-slept with my first but even co-sleeping won't settle this baby.
