Naps during the day

Hi!
My 8 week old only really likes contact naps during the day at the minute. When I can put her down she won’t go in her moses basket so is sleeping in a pregnancy pillow. Where does everyone else’s little ones sleep during the day please? I know they are meant to be flat but she will no longer go down in her moses!

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!)

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?

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?

How are we holding up mama?

Baby girl is 4 weeks old now, partner has gone back to work and the fact that dad's only have 2 weeks is borderline cruelty. 2 days in and I hate that I have to choose between feeding myself, doing chores and hyping myself up to go get food. I have a fomo baby so we have to deal with 3h wake windows combined with the witching hour and overtireness screaming. I almost had a breakdown yesterday. I know it will get better but don't help cope now 🙃 it's one day at a time.

6 week baby struggle help!

Hit 6 weeks with my little boy, he’s really irritable crying if not feeding, has all of a sudden started to get reflux symptoms, will fall asleep during feeds of a day the second you move he wakes up, nothing is working. He cry’s during burping and I don’t get burps out of him🙃 is it normal? Night feeding is a lot sleeps in his bed and hour if that

UK Travel System Recommendations

Hi everyone, I’m needing some help with pram/travel system recommendations. We won’t be able to get a new car before baby arrives and it’s quite small! We have a Mini Cooper, so boot space is limited at the best of times. I’m after a pram where the bassinet is foldable too to take up as little space as possible because we ALSO have a dog that will sometimes be out with us and baby.

I’ve been looking at the dragonfly, cove 2 and upline 3 but I just wondered if anyone else has any recommendations.

Thank you ☺️
