Waking through the night
My baby will be 1 next week, he went through a brief phase of sleeping right through the night but is back to waking on average once a night. The only way to get him back to sleep is feed him a bottle. How do I wean him off this?
Are many other September babies still feeding through the night?

Many babies still feed, might weaning often dos not help with night waking. But you use an easy tool to get them back to sleep ;$
My April 2025 baby only weaned naturally of his last night feed about 2 months ago.
It’s completely normal for a 1 year old to still wake in the night for comfort. In this case it’s having a feed.
I would allow them to naturally wean themselves of this night feed when they are ready. You could try and wean them. It might work and they go back to sleeping through or it might cause them to have more disturbed sleep.
You would need to find a suitable replacement of comfort/ way for them to fall back to sleep. They may still wake for resetting in the night, even if this isn’t in the form of a bottle.

My baby keeps bursting out crying. What could be the reason?
My baby girl is 13 days old today and i am worried about the cries she has been showing me since Sunday. She would burst out crying for a short period and scrunch her self up showing what looks like pain in her stomach. Shes also crying when she passes wind and at the end of her feeds. I am doing a combination of formula and breastmilk, i am using infacol as it could be colic, massaging her daily and she cries when i do that, i just dont know what to do. I took her A&E yesterday and they said she is fine but im not convinced as she’s really upset and she’s not normally like this. Any advice please.

Reassurance?
My LO is 13 months old. He understands EVERYTHING. I say get the ball bring it to me he does. I ask him to show me the planes he points. He waves he claps. Everytime I speak to him he responds with ‘ooohh’
He babbles dadada wawawawa bababa and constantly makes noises. Like oooohh ahhhh uhhhh but no proper real word yet. Should I be worried?

Bulky travel systems? Buy or skip?
We went to explore pushchairs at mamas and papas and they really seem to encourage you to buy the ocarro package which is 12kg + and bulky once folded. Are these realistic to use post 6 months or is it better to go with something like Joolz/Nuna which are most compact but less sturdy I guess.

Advice on Sundown Scaries
Hello
Just looking for some advice on sundown scaries.
Our little girl is 11 days old today and I’m struggling with anxiety in the evenings.
She starts stirring and getting a bit grizzly in the evenings, on and off crying, wont be put down, just restless and cluster feeding. I find it quite overwhelming.
I feel pretty good in the day, but from 4pm I just feel riddled with anxiety.
I try to go to bed around 9pm if she’s settled & get a couple hours in before my partner brings her up around 11pm. Then my night shift starts.
I try to let my partner sleep through as we’re trying to establish a bit of a routine before he goes back to work next week.
Any advice on sundown scaries? How long did it last for you?
TIA

What age did you leave your breastfed baby away from you? My baby won’t take a bottle. I’m scared to go to the shop without him just incase.

Clinginess after starting Nursery
My little boy started nursery last week for 2 days.
Ever since he has been so clingy, he was never like this before.
He rejects his Dad and only wants to be held by me. He just arches his back and screams if it’s anyone else.
I have to be within touching distance at all times or it’s the end of the world.
He used to be so independent & didn’t mind me not being there?
Is he just adjusting? Is he scared? I just feel so bad but also so touched out!!
Has anyone had this happen to them?
