Baby Spitups

Has anyone tried those newborn pillows/supports that are supposed to help keep baby upright?

I have a 2-week-old who sleeps so well when she’s lying on my chest or being held upright by me or my partner. But as soon as we put her down in her bassinet, flat on her back, she becomes really unsettled and will often spit up and struggle to sleep.

She seems much more comfortable when she’s upright or at an angle, but obviously I can’t have her sleeping on my chest all day 😅

We have been to the doctor and she’s advised us to change her formula to NAN Sensitive, which we’ve done. I’m just looking for other things that might help her settle and be more comfortable when she’s put down.

Has anyone experienced something similar with their newborn? What helped you? And has anyone tried one of those pillows/supports for keeping baby upright?

Colief drops

My 5 week old has been struggling with colic and reflux. I had just started him on colief drops and it’s telling me to wait 30 minutes before giving him a bottle 😭 it’s fine during the day but I most definitely cannot wait 30 minutes for his night feeds… can anyone help with this? Do you had to wait 30 minutes?

Not having a next to me crib??

just wanting peoples opinions on not having a next to me crib i have a mama and papas crib would this be okay to put my newborn (when she’s here) straight away obviously following safe sleep guidelines. the reason im feeling this way is due to me my partner and all my baby stuff are all sharing a room so just wanting to save space and save money on another thing they will only be in for a couple months. i’m also thinking it’s a good idea as i know a few family members who are now struggling to have their babies sleep in their cot. ( the mamas and papas cot is next to my bed anyways so it’s not as if i have walk to the crib in the middle of the night ) all opinions appreciated thank you!!

Would you call triage?

I've been having braxton hicks for about 1.5 hours, they're not painful but I have had a very slight period like pain. Moving and changing position doesn't stop them. I'm 34+4, would you call triage? I don't want to be a time waster.

Feeding baby

How does your husband give baby his bottle? Does he do so by extending his arm into babies crib or does he pick up baby?
My husband won't pick up the baby and feeds him while he's in his bassinet and seems to think its totally normal but it really bothers me! like just pick him up!!!!
