My 7 week 2 day old baby has been getting bogeys for about 2 weeks however in the last few days has been quite snotty,
then last night he has been breathing heavy and we can hear how congested he is.
We have tried using a sucker which works for a couple of minutes but then comes back. He is quite chesty, and we can feel the raspyness on his chest and back.
Will be hopefully getting a GP appointment today but just wanted to see if it’s happening to any else’s baby at the moment and how you helped them 🥹 He is currently sleeping on my chest because he has been struggling on his back and was so tired from last night.

Tummy time always helps with my baby. She also tends to sound really congested a lot of the time and basically sounds very phlegmy! You can basically hear the phlegm in her chest when she breathes. Every time we put her in tummy time, the phlegm always comes out/she spits it up x
Have you tried saline spray?
Saline spray, a warm bath and snot sucking is definitely the winning combination at that age! Good luck 🥰
I’ve been doing the snot sucking during tummy time and got so much more out 😍

Nursery consumables
We pay £20 a day extra on a funded day (10 hours a day) it’s £10 for consumables and £10 enhanced provision. It’s all itemised on the invoice and 25p an hour is nappies and 75p and hour food, my son hasn’t worn nappies for months and nursery have also stopped the morning snack without making it common knowledge but the price hasn’t changed. The enhanced provision they have said covers things such as using bikes, hi viz jackets, drinks such as cows milk, sensory play, painting aprons etc they have literally covered everything in suprised they haven’t charged for the air they’re breathing in there 😅 all of the above I believe are covered in the core element of EYFS and shouldn’t be charged extra for?!

Winter is coming?
Hey mamas just wanted some advice to prep for winter.
My son is 15 months and is still in his cot. When is the appropriate time to buy him a duvet, he has been using 2.5 tog coverlets.
Can duvets be used in the cot?
Or is it only for single beds?
I did read from 18 months they can move to a single bed but we just do not have the space right now.

Can’t cope
This is gonna sound so fucked up but I honestly can’t cope with my 7 month old. She’s waking up 4/5 times a night and it’s driving me fucking insane. I have to be up at 6:30am as I have a toddler and my partner does night shifts so I can’t ask him for shit all. I’m finding myself shouting af the baby and getting really fucking worked up cos I can’t cope with this bullshit waking up every 2 hours. I’m honestly so fucking frustrated even typing this because it’s 4am and I’ve had no sleep tonight this is her 4th wake up. I feel so guilty shouting at her but I’m honestly losing my fucking marbles

This may come across petty but not letting someone sit and slag us off in posts 🤷🏼♀️🤷🏼♀️
So we have a groupchat absolutely lovely!! There’s this one girl sandy removed herself yesterday as apparently we were mean etc etc but wasn’t the case, she was judgy asf!! She was practically having a go at me cos my baby was in a nappy at 10 months and had a fever bearing in mind which I was trying to control! She said we were nasty cos we said an energy drink goes under your daily caffeine intake while pregnant said we were nasty cos one of the girls left her baby downstairs with his grandad crying so she could get a shower in peace, said we were nasty cos watching American horror story while the baba is asleep is the same as arguing infront of your kid, apparently it’s mental abuse! Then she went on saying that she’s hit a parent before on school grounds for there kid pushing there’s so we were just expressing our opinion then all of a sudden we were jealous!! Bearing in mind everytime someone said something she had it 10x worse or better than that person, someone mentioned they had epilepsy, then she said she had a brain thing which caused seizures, like she had to talk about herself 24/7 and not let anyone talk about there feelings or experiences, she was always lecturing us about things bragging about making her house spotless with one hand, she did everything one handed with the baba on her other hip, just wanted to post this out there as she commented on another post and deleted her comments and I just find it very childish to delete them, saying all this nasty shit about us then not letting us defend ourselves :)

Continuous rocking/swaying.. how to phase out?
Hello, I’m a ftm and my baby girl is turning 3 months in 2 days.
My husband and I have unconsciously made a bad habit regarding how we put our baby girl to nap during the days.
She used to be able to contact nap on us and we would be able to lay her down so she could nap. When we would put her down she would fuss and couldn’t settle. So we started rocking her. At first we were able to rock/swag her for a little just until she would fall asleep and we would put her down and she would stay asleep.
After awhile, when we would do that, should wouldn’t stay asleep like she usually would after being rocked a little. So we started just holding her and seemed like the one way she would stay asleep is by rocking her during her whole nap.
Now we are I don’t know 2/3 weeks in of constantly taking turns rocking her for an hour or so constantly for her daytime naps.
And quite honestly we are drained.
I was wondering if there are any mamas out there that may have gone through the same thing. If yes, what did you do to phase out the constant rocking baby to sleep? Because as soon as we stop rocking or swaying while holding her she wakes up.
Any words of advice is appreciated. My husband and I are hopeful we can figure something out and that things will get better but where we are right now.. we are tired.
