4 month sleep regression!

I have 3 children, my oldest 2 must have breezed through the 4 month sleep regression as I never had an issue! However my 4 month old is well and truly going through the four month regression! She was sleeping in her next to me crib would have a feed once a night and go straight back to sleep. Now she is only sleeping if she’s in my bed next to me and I just don’t want to get her in the habit of being in my bed all the time, but it’s the only way I’m able to sleep myself! Any tips? Shall I just go with it for now?

In the exact same boat over here!! It’s sooo exhausting, I feel you!! I’ve decided I have to go with the flow knowing it’s a phase to save some sanity or I’ll try and overhaul everything and try and plan to fix something that is actually very common. We got this ❤️💪

Same here, will only sleep if he’s next to me in bed, and even then from about 1am he’s fussing in his sleep so I have to pat his bum and shush him until he properly falls back asleep - only to then do it all again 30-60 minutes later 🤦‍♀️
I was thinking about these sleep training people but it’s just so expensive!!xx

Food shop, no car?

Hiya, I'm a FTM to a 9 week old baby and I do not drive.
I cannot for the life of me figure out how to do a food shop with the buggy (basinet or carseat).
Please can someone explain it like I'm a 2 year old 😂.
I am more than happy to babywear if thats part of the solution.
Asda have the carseat trolleys which I thought was a good idea (carseat clips onto buggy) but then I'd have nowhere for the bottom of the buggy to go, is there somewhere they'll let me leave it? 😂🤦🏻‍♀️
Wedging a basket on the pram while babys in the carrier is not cutting it anymore 😂

Sleeping

Hi, last night me and my newborn (2 weeks today) fell asleep last night and I forgot to set my alarm for 3hrs and we both slept for about 6hrs without her waking up to feed, usually she’d start getting fussy and start crying so I’d wake up anyways but she didn’t last night only woke up and started being fussy 6hrs later

I fed her and changed her nappy immediately she drank about 3oz and I feel so bad and am so worried , she seems absolutely fine but went straight back to sleep after feeding

Is she going to be okay? I genuinely feel so so bad and don’t know what to do, she’s gained 6oz since birth (weighed 4 days ago) and never lost any of her weight shed gained an oz by day 5

Putting baby down

My baby girl is only a week old, so I understand this post may seem silly!
However, during the nights, I’m finding it difficult to transfer her back to her crib after getting her back to sleep following a nappy change and bottle. She stays on me for a good 20-30mins (if not, sometimes longer) after her feed so I know she’s in a deep sleep. As soon as I move her to her crib, she wakes up immediately and cries. My heart absolutely aches for her because I love the contact naps, but last night I could feel myself nodding off with her on my chest so I know I can’t safely allow her to do it during the night. During the day she’s absolutely fine. Does anyone have any advice on what may help, please?
She hates the swaddle haha, my scent is on her sheet, I soothe her when I put her down…I’ve done pretty much all the tricks that I’ve read upon!
I know it may seem silly considering her age, but I’m thinking from a safety perspective and would appreciate any advice!
Thank you in advance :) x

Men have woman on a pedestal. They look at us like princesses. You should never pass gas in front of your husband nor should he know when you go number two

Nappy sizes

My hubby is 6’5, I’m only 5 ft. We have a him size baby girl. Looking at her you wouldn’t think she’s over weight, she looks healthy but she’s a little chonk. She’s 10 months this week but I’ve had to put her in size 7 nappies. What do I do after this? What size nappies is everyone using? She’s half the size of my 6 year old boy, although he is a little short.

Very stressed and overwhelmed newborn mama

I'm really struggling. Baby is 4 days old and She wont really settle after a bottle anymore. She gets hiccups and seems to have lots of gass, despite doing slow feeds with breaks for burping. She will settle if shes being held only but We are both exhausted with no sleep and im meant to be recovering and resting from csection. But dont understand how I can do that as my husband needs sleep too and I'mworried for him. Im worried we mightbe so tired that we make a mistake and harm her like falling asleep while holding. And you cant fall asleep holding her as its dangerous. Ive also had a bad intrusive thought and that's really scared me 😭
