front sleeper

hi my LO is 14 weeks and just mastered the roll from back to front! but cannot roll front to back. Since this he rolls to his front during sleep and has been sleeping on his front tonight, his head is turned where his nose is free and 3/4 of his mouth. He cries when he wants flipped back over. NHS safe sleeping says if he cannot roll back himself then to keep putting him back on his back but the second i do he rolls again and we’re playing a game of rotisserie chicken 🤣

what’s peoples experience of a front sleeper and are you ok just leaving them as long as face clear nothing in cot etc til they learn the roll themselves back, i don’t wanna keep having him sleep on me when neither of us want too just to avoid front sleeping x

My little girl does this too. She still cant roll from tummy to back. But i let her sleep on her front. She has good head and neck control so she can mover her head. I did start off by keep rolling her back iver but she would immediately wake and roll back. My health visitor said you cant keep rolling them back every 5 minutes as i wouldnt get any sleep. So when I wake up in the night I check on her and go back to sleep x

The heat.. what do I do

My baby has a fan in his room & the window open but the Tommee tippee egg still says it’s 27 degrees🥴
He’s only in a nappy but is there anything I can do to make the room cool down more before I go to bed?

It’s reached 25/26 before and he’s been fine but walking into his room is like a sauna it’s ridiculous - ours isn’t much better.

Poor daddy!

Anyone else having/had this issue ??

I'm a first time mum and exclusively breastfeeding our daughter
She's only just under 2 weeks old, but almost every time she's held by dad she screams the place down and won't settle.

Unfortunately due to being on deployment during the pregnancy he was unable to do the whole talking to the bump thing and now I feel so bad for him.

He's acting fine but I know deep down it's absolutely killing him that she won't settle with him


Anyone had this issue or have any suggestions?

Nearly 3yo saying they don’t love mummy

My little boy is nearly 3, he constantly says I don’t love you mummy, usually after I’ve said good night love you, or something similar. I totally know he doesn’t understand love at this age at all and it’s just a phrase to him atm, but it’s really beginning to upset me which i know sounds silly, but he only ever does it to me he says love you to his daddy and brother

Feeding during heatwave

Wanting other mums opinions…
I have a 3 month old baby which I formula feed.
Between feeds would you offer your baby a few sips of water inbetween as we’re in a heatwave, or do you just offer more feeds?
At the moment as it’s so hot I don’t want him to get dehydrated so I fed every 3 hours. Is that enough or not?

Nursery

So I have a 2 year old - non verbal & potentially autistic.

Me & my partner have said from day one we would not send them to nursery as we don't trust anyone & have heard such negative feedback from friends. I have worries of her being neglected/abused and thoughts of her crying and no-one helping her. Yes I'm having counselling for my anxiety.

However, recently I think I've started to change my mind. I am still extremely anxious but I believe it will help her. Shes such a happy kid and will entertain herself but I'm worried she's being under stimulated. However, my husband is still 100% on her not going. I feel like I'm failing her. She doesnt go to groups as I also have a newborn so cannot do both.

I don't know what to do.
