Struggling with sleep
My little one is a year old. He has never slept through the night. He wakes for a comfort feed 3-4 time and cry’s out in pain if he has wind. Has anyone else had this and overcome it?

Hiya , try to reduce the feeds every other night , and give like 5-10 minutes before u give the feed . It might be hard in the beginning but slowly he’ll reduce the waking ups , or wake up when he’s genuinely hungry x hope this helps .
Mine was the same
You have to drop the feeds

Working Mums - Help!
I work 3 days a week, in which my daughter goes to nursery. My partner leaves for work at 5am, so the whole process of getting up, ready and out the house is all on me. I only have a 15 month old but i’m struggling so much to be able to get myself ready and keep her distracted. How are we all managing this?
She’s into everything and in that stage where I can’t take my eyes off her, which makes it even impossible to brush my teeth.
She’s not predictable with her wakes, especially at the min as we’re going through an awful sleep regression, some days she wakes at 4am others 6am so trying to get up and ready before her isn’t really possible.
I don’t allow a lot of screen time and because of this she doesn’t really sit in front of the tv as i’ve tried this also.
Any help appreciated 😅

High chair recommendations
What highchair would you recommend? I don’t want to do ikea as don’t want to buy the extra parts. I want it to be easy wipe clean. My baby is 5 months old

Did anyone who rocked their baby/co slept etc (didn’t sleep train) have a baby/child who ended up sleeping independently all night?
Interested to know if you don’t actually need to sleep train to eventually get a child that sleeps 😂 my 8 month old gets held to sleep and placed in cot but he’s up a lot in the night until eventually he settles in our bed around 4;30am. I’m happy to do this with the hopes that one night he’ll just sleep through or am I wishful thinking 😂

Accepting my new Mum bod post surgery
I'm 10 weeks postpartum and went to the doctor yesterday for our Mother and Baby check. When it got to me, the doctor said "can you lift up your stomach so I can see the scar" 🤣😭
...loool the way a little bit of me died inside. It's barely even an overhang and my stomach has healed really well! There's no flap. I found it funny but also a bit of a gut punch because it's taken me all 10 weeks to adjust to my new body, appreciate it for all it's done, given me, and start to accept/like it again. Any new mums had similar scenarios or finding it a struggle to adapt to liking your new mum body post C section?

Driving alone with baby?
When did you first drive with just your baby in the back? I've got the full safe setup installed but I am still nervous to drive anywhere alone yet. My baby is 5 weeks old on Friday and there's a bf support group I want to attend but it's too far to walk there :(
When my husband drives I am in the back with my son, holding his head when there are sharp turns and potholes because he is still a bit too small for the car seat to be holding his head in place (apparently this is normal and still fine but it worries me!)

Gradually increasing wake windows throughout the day
I know it’s typically advised that the first wake window of the day is the shortest and the last one before bedtime be the longest but it seems it’s the opposite for my LO?
Shes 4 months and no matter when I start trying to wind her down for her naps she always falls asleep at the 2 hour mark (almost always on the dot). Her last ww before bedtime is then 1.5 hours most of the time. But then she’s waking up every 2 hours so could she be overtired?
Is this normal? Is there anything I should be doing differently?
