Does anyone else’s baby not really sleep much during the day? The only way he’ll sleep is on me, which is great, but I also have a 3 year old who needs me too. Every time I put the baby down, he wakes straight up but then becomes really overtired!

When i had my daughter she would NEVER let me put her down to sleep it was so tricky to do anything else this time ive brought a sling to help the situation because im worried about this. Could that be a possibility for you to try?x

My first was the same, and this one is looking similar lol, Ive found that making sure they are well fed, in a deep sleep and swaddled in the moses basket will give us about 1-1.5 hours hands free to engage with the toddler, just have to keep a close eye on them and make sure they dont over heat etc.
If you have any tips for them to sleep at night please swap lol! 🆘

Both of our children prefer sleeping on their tummy! Maybe that will work for you? During the night I try to keep her on her back or at least on her side but during the day when I can regularly check on her i let her sleep on her tummy, it’s what worked for our son as well :)

My boys always refused to sleep in the cot during the day. The only way to get them down for a nap was in the buggy during the walk so maybe try that and let them
Sleep there xx
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!)

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?

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 ☺️

Obviously you’re meant to wait at least 6 weeks after giving birth but is it still safe to do it before the 6 weeks?

Hi all,
I am 8 weeks pp and my breastfeeding journey has been the worst thing ever! But I am still persevering! We were told my baby has a tongue tie and was booked in for a tongue tie division the following week, I have been experiencing the worst excruciating pain, like a burning shooting pain when he latches on, the skin around my nipples are sore and raw! Likes like toothpicks scraping whenever I breast feed, just wanted to ask if anyone has experienced the same thing and does it get better, I feel so defeated 😭

Hey just wanted to check if it’s normal to be leaking a small amount of milk at 27 weeks? This is my second baby and my milk didn’t come in with my first until around 36 weeks🫣
