Resisting sleep
My 5mo has started to resist sleep again. Yes i’ve tried putting him sleep earlier, also later and exactly when i see his first tired signs.
He will blow raspberries, talk, whine, yell and then shout if i put his head down onto my shoulder to make him sleep.
If i put him down he shouts.
The only way i can put him to sleep recently is physically forcing his head down onto my shoulder/chest and bouncing regardless if he resists and yells. Because after a 2-5minutes he falls asleep. Why does he resists putting his head down???
Please don’t tell me about putting him down awake but drowsy and all of that, he will not sleep like that.
Is this just a phase or wtf is happening? I’m losing my marbles and i’m physically and mentally so fucking tired doing this every nap and bed time.
He has already gone through his 4month sleep regression.

There is another sleep regression at 6 months 🫠 it's a phase, hang in there. Babies get severe FOMO around now lol. You're doing exactly right, you know he's tired he just doesn't want to miss out lol xxx

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?

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 ☺️

Dummy to thumb 👍
Any hints and tips for getting my baby off their dummy? They do have interest in their thumb, but it’s not consistent.
