This is totally normal baby behaviour Im afraid although it can come as a shock! We are carry mammals and baby is adjusting to the outside world, have a look at the fourth trimester. Contact naps, wearing baby in a wrap will be your best friend, and take shifts with your partner if you can. They tend to sleep better at night in a moses basket instead of a next to me as its more compact. You want them to feel secure so a rolled up towel squished up around their feet can help, as can putting a tshirt you have worn under their sheet. It gets better I promise

Pram Help
My baby has just turned three months and has started to get more aware of what around them, and sometimes when I take them out in the pram they are wide awake and looking around, I use the flat basket at the moment but I started on really quick trips that last no longer than 10 minutes use the cat seat so they can look around, well with the pram I got the seat section but as my baby can't sit up and can only hold their head a tiny bit during tummy time, what do I do?
Photo shows the pram I have.

Nappy Deals
Just to let people know who don't know, Morrisons has a deal on Pampers nappies, I got the 50 pack of size 1 for £3 from £8. Also Tesco does a deal on Pampers if you get click and collect or delivery, I think, photo below. I also got the Pampers app which is worthwhile. I just thought I let people know to help save money because it does get expensive.

I want to stop co-sleeping 😭
I literally don't know what to do. I want to stop co-sleeping but it is a nightmare. As soon as I place my baby in his bassinet he'll start screaming bloody murder, or roll onto him belly and wake himself up, or sleep 30 minutes then wake up. It's a battle every night and eventually I'm exhausted and give up. He wins and gets to sleep next to mommy. I don't know what to do. 😭 He sleeps perfectly fine on his own for naps, just not at bedtime. Any advice?

Post partum sex
Hey, I’m just wondering how long it was until people felt ready to have sex again after giving birth? Preferably would like to hear from people who gave birth vaginally and possibly people who tore as well. I feel like I’m ready but I’m scared it’ll hurt because of my scar… (in no way is my man pressuring me at all, this is all me😂)
