Burning candles?

I know we shouldn’t because it’s not good for adults but especially babies but I miss burning a candle in the evening and we have a rented house that smells musty no matter how much we deep clean everything and air out the house for hours everyday. Does anyone burn a soy candle downstairs in the evening with windows being open whilst baby is upstairs asleep or do you think it’s too much of a risk? Any advice /opinions would be greatly appreciated (my baby is 9 months btw)

Recently posted this but nothings changing and we need help! Almost 3 weeks now my 13 month old has not been sleeping at night. 2/2:30 wakes up crying and will not settle no matter what we try. It’s taking hours for him to give in. When we go in he settles but as soon as we leave he cries. One occasion I swapped him into a warmer tog sleeping bag and we got a one off night of sleep. We’ve tried offering a bottle which he’s downed but that’s made no help. We literally do not know what to do😫 He’s resisting daytime sleep and I do think he is on the cusp of dropping a second nap. Currently 5am and we’ve been awake since 2:30😭 it’s having a big toll on my husband and I especially given we are up early for work in the week. He’s always been a good sleeper and slept through from newborn. Has anyone got any suggestions, tips etc please? I honestly can’t carry on like this much longer

Dummy

Hi. My 4 week old hasn’t took to a dummy at all since birth. She will suck it for a few seconds then spit it out. She suffers with reflux and is on medication for it and I’ve been told offering a dummy can help with the reflux but I can’t get her to take it! Any tips?

9 week, sleep pattern

My baby had his last bottle at 10:45 and slept till 6:30am. Is this too long?

I understand they naturally wake up to reduce SIDS. All research is conflicting, one post will say babies this age sleep between 6-8 hours and others state they should be waking up for feeds and going no longer than 4 hours?

He has regained his birth weight and continuously gaining weight and having enough nappies.

He does have enough calories in the day also.

Breastfeeding and coughing and gaggin

My little one is 11 days old.

Im breastfeeding and in the day he will be latched for about 10 minutes, and he does the same at night time but it varies from 10 minutes to about 30 minutes. Im leaking a lot from both breasts as well.

Occasionally he will cough and follow up with a gag after about 5 minutes on the breast, Ive googled what this could be and it says I could be producing to much milk and baby could be getting full quick and that's why he is coughing and following it up with a gag.

Has anyone else experienced this? If so what did you have to do?

He also coughs and gags randomly, but not all of the time its just occasional.

Can you please share current routines? (I know they will be loose)

I am just wanting to understand what an evening looks like and amount of time little one sleeps.

Do they have a large wake window before their final night feed? Or just same as the day waking every couple hours for a feed?

FTM help with sleep changes

Hi all,

FTM here, my girl turned 4 months on Thursday - for the last 2-3 weeks her sleep has changed.

Since she was just over 2 months she has been a great sleeper at night with no concerns at all.

The last 2-3 weeks she is still going to bed at same time and wake up at same time but during the night she keeps starting to wake and makes like, starting to cry noises - sometimes she settles herself after a few seconds and sometimes I have to go get up and give her, her dummy ( she has a dummy to go sleep)
Then she settles again till the next time she does this again.

Normally she is still asleep while doing this
She has also become a very lite sleeper - my partner ended up sleeping in the living room last night as he kept coughing and it was waking her.

During the day she is fine, no concerns at all.

I was told sleep cycles can change at this age and this is normal

But I just wondered if anyone else has had similar experiences?
