Newborn won’t lay down
My baby is just over 2 weeks old. He will not let us lay him down, not in his next to me or pram bassinet, meaning I can’t leave the house with the pram and can only having him in my arms. Any advice?

Could be a possibility of reflux? Sometimes it aggravates when they are set down.a baby carrier is good option though so you can chest carry, should be easy to get hands on a second hand one
Yeah I don't think my daughter ever standed being on her back. We tried everything and she would just scream. It's pretty normal as I understand it. They also just don't like being alone. I baby wore a majority of the time bc of it. Wasted an entire stroller.
maybe try setting him on his side that’s what my baby loved eispecally new born because he could move too much it help his tummy settle too! my son was so uncomfy before his pyloric stenosis surgery his tummy constantly hurt the only thing that seemed to help was the side laying!
Wear him in a wrap sling

Contact naps only?
Hello! My baby is 6 weeks old and she only gets sleep when she contact naps on either of our chest so my partner and I take turns sleeping at night. Everyone keeps telling me to be careful of her getting used to it but I don’t know how. There came a period when she slept in her cot but now as soon as I put her down, the Moro reflex kicks in a few times and she wakes up and we’re back to square one…any advice?

Nappy bin
Are nappy bins actually worth it? Baby girl is due next month and I’m buying the last bits and bobs but I’ve heard mixed things about nappy bins! Would only be used in the bedroom to save me going up and down the stairs during the night but I’ve been told to save my money as I won’t actually use it that much?

Breastfed bottle refusal
I haven’t used a bottle of breastmilk in months for my baby because I haven’t needed too. I wanted to see if he would still take it as I am away with him and my friends next month and fancied a drink. He has just completely rejected the bottle, the Philips Avent and also Mam bottle. I am trying him with an open cup for water but I know that takes a long time. I don’t go back to work until a few weeks before he turns 1 so he is going to need to take pumped breast milk from my husband before he can have cows milk drink at 1. I am thinking if he can use a cup he could have his milk from that. Has anyone got any advice or recommendations please?
