Swaddle alternatives??

My 8 week old has started to absolutely hate being swaddled!! We use the halo sleep swaddle and he always starts grunting and squirming when we put it on. He likes to have his arms by his face for comfort, but he always scratches himself (despite jammies that cover his hands or not). He also startles himself when he isn’t swaddled which wakes him up. But he’s starting to wake up during the night to try to break out of his swaddle. Anyone have any ideas on what we can try instead??

Pram

Hi, when did you change the pram from the carry cot to the seat? My little boy is nearly 4 months and just wants to look around everywhere

Boyfriend wants to put baby for adoption.

My one month old has always been on the fussier side since birth, lots of crying and just wants to be held. Recently, he was “diagnosed” with colic so the crying at night has been intense for long periods. I try my best to console him but there’s not much I can do other than to hold him and give him gas drops to help. My boyfriend (his dad) doesn’t have as much as patience as I do and he made a comment while our baby was intensely crying and said “this is what makes me want to put him up for adoption”. I immediately started crying because instead of him trying to help me to console our baby he makes comments like that. What would y’all have responded or done about that
comment if it was said to you?

6 week old won’t sleep in crib!!

Is this normal? I’m not expecting a full night of uninterrupted sleep but she won’t even settle for 20 minutes without crying and I’ve seen previous posts from you all where some are sleeping through or are at least getting 2-3 hour stretches with your LOs. Am I doing something wrong? She’s still yet to spend a night in her crib before I give up after the 10th transfer (using all the special methods) and hold her for the rest of the night which is becoming v unmanageable!
She’s gone through phases of settling up to an hour but these days as soon as her bum hits the warmed scented mattress she’s awake! Someone help and tell me this is normal and it will change (soon I hope!!)

Scratches

Hi ladies,

Is it normal that at this age (eight months) babies are a bit “abusive” 😂? Obviously I mean that as a joke, but he just doesn’t stop hitting, scratching, and pulling my hair really hard. It now seems like he’s starting to do it on purpose.
I even woke up this morning with quite a bit of blood on my face, I assume he scratched me really hard during the night.

Also any suggestions?

Thank you x

Nappy bin - worth it? Angel care vs tommee tippee ?

Hello
I was wondering if getting a nappy bin is worth it or not ? Or do you just use a scented bin bag ?
We also have a dog and where we live there is no bin outside so we have to put the poop bags in our house , so I was thinking maybe it’s worth getting one for the scent as it could double for the baby and our dog ?
If so, do you recommend the angel care bin or the Tommy tippee ? I’ve heard that some people say even the Amazon recharge are expensive and they just use a scented bin bag (with we do, from Costco).
I’m a bit lost of the topic
Thank you ☺️
