Sleep training tips
Can anyone share how you sleep trained your babies without letting them cry it out? My LO is currently almost 5 months but absolutely refuses to fall asleep on his crib on his own.

Do they have a comforter ? Both mine became attached to a comforter. Made bedtime nice and smooth xx
I introduced a comforter by making it smell like me and rocked them to sleep with it and then gradually reduced the rocking and then gradually reduced the holding. It was long and they would have crying nights but I would stay in the room and reassure them.
It was a much longer process than the supposed '3 nights of crying' method but I preferred it. I didn't start until my LO was about 9m though x
Very normal at that age to be honest. We didn’t have independent bedtimes until about 16 months and even now we sit in the room with him.
Very normal to need to be supported to sleep. My son is nearly 2 and doesn't drift off on his own unless in the car or pushchair. We sit next to him in bed whilst he falls asleep at night.

Car seats
What the fuck is that.
Looks like no seat belt, just some bar thing, and a kid that’s small enough to be rear facing in a forward only car seat?? Someone tell me there’s more to this and it’s not as crazy as it looks

Plane seat purchase
Why are we having to pay extra for seats?! I really can't afford to add any more on to the expense. So I'm going to check in, and hope we are next to each other. We are a family of 5, 2 adults and 3 children.
How likely is it that we will be split - and staff care enough to give seats together? Please let me know if this has happened to anyone. I really can't be adding £300 more just for tickets.

Breastfeeding or screaming - no in between
When it comes to our late afternoon and evening feeds, we seem to hit the same problem; he just won’t unlatch! Baby boy is 5 weeks and will just chew on my nipple, I assume to soothe, and if I ever try to take him off he screams. He’ll even be falling asleep and still hates it, and then won’t sleep at all!
Any one experienced something similar and know how to work around this? I’m sore and need a small bit of my evenings back!

Help!
My little boy has just turned 2 and for a few weeks now he’s keeps playing / getting his private parts out. We keep telling him no and he seems to think it’s funny.
I wondered if anyone else is experiencing this and how I can get him to stop doing it.

Period has come back!
To my surprise my period came back today!😭 Little bit concerned as I’m only 8 weeks post c-section and my baby is breastfed other than 2 feeds at 8pm and 12pm. Has anyone else got their period back yet? I was expecting another good few months!
