FTM and any advice would be amazing. Can my baby go through a sleep regression at 11/12 weeks, 1 week adjusted.
He just will not be put down to bed, as soon as he is laid down he is wide awake and crying. He is absolutely fine when held, fast asleep, calm and goes back to sleep quite quickly.
I’m also wondering when to start a routine with him as at the moment we are on demand feeding and just going with flow of when he is awake and sleep, me and my partner are taking it in shift on a night but he is due to go back to work soon and the last thing I want is to be awake all night because he won’t settle and then struggle during the day with him sleeping most of the day. This is what is happening at the moment, literally asleep most of the day, if we wake him he screams the place down or as soon as he wakes wants feeding even if only feed 1hour ago and sometimes not even that.
I know things are different with him being 11 weeks prem but just want some help/ advice, thank you!

My baby was preterm too. 2months early. Essentially you’re counting from corrected age. So his sleep pattern is still pretty much like that of a newborn as opposed to a full term baby. My baby was same when he came home. He would absolutely not be put down and wanted to be held. But then I found out reflux was contributing to him not wanting to be put down. Maybe check he doesn’t have that first. It does get better. Now he seems to prefer sleeping on his stomach and started sleeping longer stretches at night. You can’t really start a routine with him yet as he’s essentially a week old. Maybe when he’s about 4-6weeks. You got this ❤️
I have an almost 2 year old daughter
She’s my whole life I adore her
I had a bit of a meltdown yesterday
We found out we’re having another daughter & I absolutely weeped like I mourned a son that was never meant for me
I dreamed up an entire world with my daughter & this second child being a son & it’s hit me so hard knowing now that won’t be my reality
I’m finding it really difficult to accept
Has anyone felt this way
I see all kinds of families around me with & without children with boys with girls with a mix etc
I am so grateful for everything I have
I just can’t help this feeling
My heart aches

My baby boy is 14 weeks and recently has been getting up earlier and earlier in the morning, he goes to bed 7-7.30pm and wakes once or twice in the night and wakes up at 7.. but now it’s 6am, 5.30, 5.15am. Any advice please, is he going to bed too early?

Hi all, this is very much a first world problem but thought it doesn’t hurt to ask. Our house is very small and so my PC/desk is in the nursery and the room is kind of split in half, I use it to game and create crafts on the side which I sell. Usually, I do this when baby goes to bed around 7pm as he’s not sleeping in that room yet and I get a good few hours every night and honestly I love this time it just makes me feel human again. Soon, our son is going to have to move into that room and I’m worried this means I won’t be able to use the room anymore in the evening as I literally have no where else in the house my desk can go. I just wondered if anyone was in a similar situation and either tried to use the room quietly and if that worked?

Hey there I’m a ftm and been home with my baby for 6 months. I enjoy it but I’m also wanting to provide more for her by getting an education or mentorship. What age do you think is gonna be the best to start setting those goals? Right now I feel like I’m too busy with her and keeping up with our house.

Is my son the only one who watches Ms. Racheal and responds no when she asks if he can say or do something? It’s adorable and hilarious but should I be concerned? lol
