Cot transfer

My 2.5 week old baby can sleep in 2/3 hour stretches on me but everytime I move her into the bassinet she will wake up within minutes and want feeding again. I actually don’t mind her sleeping on me but as the night progresses and I get sleepy it obviously gets significantly more dangerous. Some nights I literally don’t sleep at all because it’s just constant feed, place in bassinet, resettle. I guess I’m looking for reassurance this isn’t forever? Is anyone in the same boat?

Have you tried a moses basket? I had a next to me and had the health visitor said its probably too big, to try a moses basket and it's been absolutely fine. She sleeps 2 hours+

Look up safe cosleeping. Sleep safe 7. Highly recommend happy cosleeper on Instagram too x

We literally have the exact same issue I could have written this. We have a next to me and put the moses basket in it at night time but it's still hit and miss whether she will settle or not, mostly not 😩 so no advice but just know you're not alone!

Mine is similar, if he is in a deep sleep and had a big feed he might sleep for 45-60 mins but sometimes its only 10-30 mins its soul destroying! He is 4 weeks now, at 2 weeks he was doing the occasional 2 hour stretch. Even with cosleeping he only lasts 1 hour. Im trying all different timings and combos etc and nothing is working. But I know it will get better in time!!

Baby doll

Anyone get their son a baby doll? Did they love it?
Thinking of getting mine one for christmas as he's gravitated towards one a couple of times at a toddler group. For context my son will be 18 months, nearly 19 months at Christmas.

Refusing nap at age2 help!

My little one is 2y 2m old. She has just all of a sudden stopped napping. Nursery told me they spend half hour with her and she won't sleep and same at home. I'm really worried nursery will stop trying. But she just will not settle down at all all of a sudden. Help please. It's way too early for her to drop the nap!

CMPA? (Photo)

My baby is really congested overnight. She’s always congested - but particularly more snorty after a bottle of Kendamil. She’s primarily breast fed with one bottle of formula a day in the afternoon. Her poops are also explosive and look like this. Does this look like CMPA, so sorry for the photo! Two first poops from two different mornings. Will add the second to the comments.

Travelling with a 1 year old

Can I put a car seat in the front passenger seat for travelling with my baby?! He hates the car and just cries if he’s in the back by himself. I have family 4 hours drive away and I have to do the travel alone most of the time. It’s so stressful and exhausting trying to entertain him and I can’t just let him cry. How do you travel with a baby who hates the car? 😩

Car seats

Can anyone recommend a car seat, looking at an isofix base and a seat that grows with baby as gets older.
Currently ordered the Jole 180 the downside is it doesnt remove from base and thinking a 2nd car seat with a handle?

Any help is appreciated!

Sleepless nights due baby nonstop crying on and off for over 2/3 hours

I’m literally at breaking point, with my baby, his 3 week old and there’s some nights where he will do a screaming party in the early hours of the morning and it’s nonstop crying and I feel like a awful mum for it, I try everything to settle him and he not having none of it, and when I got my son checked at hospital because I was so worried they said he was healthy which is good news that he healthy just feel deflated and hopeless mum, and it’s destroying my mental health, at the minute.
I don’t remember my oldest boy being anything like this, I remember doing feeds and he’d stay up but not the screaming constantly.
