Mine is the same, but 8 think h8s is tension. I manti9ned it to the health visitor and she made a referral to physio. They are coming next week to have a look at it.

If youre worried might be worth doing the same x

Our LO has a slight flat head on the left side - I turn it the other way when I notice during sleep and try to do more and more tummy time! He looks both ways, but I think must look a bit more to the left than the right!

My baby sleeps with her head facing her left, and resists so much when I turn it. But when she's upright being carried or lying on me, she turns the other way 😂 No idea why/if it's a bad thing?

How much sex a month?

How many times a month in the first year postpartum do you and your husband have sex? (Trying to figure out what the normal range is for partners with a baby!)

Nighttime nappies

Hi all, does anyone have recommendations for a good nappy for nights? 3 month old is sleeping in good stretches but nappies can’t keep up. Tried Aldi and pampers and now on Sainsbury’s and they are great in day but not at night?! Thanks so much

Crying before every nap

My three month old cries before every nap. He’s fine in the night when fed to sleep, but before every single day nap there is 5-25 minutes of crying. We follow wake windows as best we can but it doesn’t seem to matter whether he’s awake one hour or three hours!

Did anyone else have this, and has come out the other side?

Controlling behaviour?

If your partner didn’t force you to go to bed at a certain time, but got annoyed if you went to bed before he was ready or wanted to stay down for longer when he wants to go to bed, would that be considered controlling? Seeing as there’s no forcing involved just getting annoyed by it?

Swaddle

Hey! I’m really interested to hear people’s thoughts/experiences with swaddling for newborns? I’ve heard it’s supposed to be great to keep them relaxed etc but also was told yesterday it’s not a method that they use anymore which is completely new to me!! Any thoughts?

Wind at night

My 6 week old has always slept generally well until about 4am when he starts grunting and crying etc in his sleep struggling with wind. It’s getting so bad he’s screaming in his sleep. We soothe him and then he’ll start again 10 mins later. The only thing that seems to help is laying him on us which obviously isn’t ideal for sleeping.

Any suggestions on anything to help? We’re using gripe water atm but not seeing a significant difference!
