Baby needs constant stimulation
My baby very rarely can just sit and chill. He needs me to be there and entertain him / talk to him. He’s approaching 3 months. I find it difficult to just leave him in his bouncer or play mat and get on with things. He gets bored really quickly. I always speak to him but he needs to see me otherwise he starts whinging. Is this normal?

My LO is nearly 4 months old and its very normal. They don't know that you will come back when you leave their eyesight they have no object permanence yet. I have found having my son in his rocker in whatever room I'm doing a job in IE the kitchen doorway while I make tea etc helps to keep him entertained. Other than that he often has a teether or is on his mat for 10 mins or so and some days things don't get done, other days they do

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!
