Night time scary's

Every night from about 8pm my Daughter just wont settle. She wont go to sleep despite my best efforts and also isn't very interested in a bottle. She ends up getting so worked up, crying constantly until she eventually falls asleep but this can take hours. She's 7 weeks old. Anyone else been in the same boat or can offer any advice on how to get through this? Thanks

Have you read about purple crying? Apparently quite common at this age

I experienced the same when my baby was about 6/7 weeks. It eventually stopped by itself after about a week and a half but then came back again now at 12 weeks. It’s really difficult but it does pass, unfortunately I haven’t found one thing that works but a mixture of walking and rocking her, taking her out for some fresh air, keeping her nappy open works too for a little while

Oh and baby wearing helped massively if you have a baby carrier!

I have a 9 week old and have gone through this. Have you ruled out reasons why they may not be sleeping well? Could be a number of reasons when I went through it I did everything from changing her pads, bicycle legs to encourage pooping, tried to burp, different holds nothing worked… I finally gave up and accepted she may be growing through a growth spurt. It is tough but once I’ve accepted there’s nothing wrong with baby and I’ve done everything I will myself to just get through it one day at a time and just ensure baby is comfortable

Mounjaro

Can someone please guide me on what I can do. Ive accidentally binned the last box for my Mounjaro prescription. Im currently changing supplier and they want proof but obviously I have binned the box. How can I send proof of prescription? Can I do it from my gp notes? Its on my gp notes I just cant find an actual prescription on medexpress to do it. It just doesn’t have my name on the nhs app though.

Breastfeeding difficulties

I wanted to exclusively breastfeed my baby but i am struggling. Went to lactation consultant multiple times. I am not producing enough milk and because of that my baby is losing weight. Can someone please give me tips to increase milk supply. I am BF the baby 8 times a day and then pumping and giving top-ups and now also top-ups of formula because of his weight issues.

Breastfeeding

I’m 6 days postpartum when does breastfeeding get ‘easier’ not having to keep latching baby and baby can latch themselves and also when does cluster feeding come to an end and they have longer sleep windows? Especially at night!! Thank you 🙏 I need to see if there is a light at the end of this tunnel 😭

Breast feeding after c section

Hi all, I had a c section a week ago and struggling to get my milk to come in, I was hoping to breast feed but I’m wondering whether my body isn’t going to be able due to having a c section, is that a thing? Has anyone else struggled with this after having a c section? Any tips or advice is welcomed!
