Hey do you have a Moses basket ? I found in the early days with my daughter it helped keeping her in the Moses and taking that off its stand and putting that in the next to me if that makes sense, instead of transferring to the next to me as she would just wake up and cry

We had this exact issue and our daughter will only stay asleep if she’s swaddled. she’s in a ‘love to dream’ one atm and we transition her with feet first and slowly putting her down x

Have you tried sleeping bags? Both my kids haven't wanted blankets and have been content when in sleeping bags

Honestly getting your bed set up for safe co sleeping is much much safer than accidentally falling asleep from pure exhaustion.

Does anyone know how long this sleep regression lasts? My son has gone from sleeping through to being up every hour for the last two weeks, I'm soooo tired!!🥲

Struggling

My baby just turned 3 weeks and although I was doing so well at the start, I feel like I’m being worn down now. I’m exclusively breastfeeding and my life being constant 2 hour increments of feeding, burping, changing and trying to soothe a fussy baby, then grabbing whatever scraps of sleep I can when he goes down is so exhausting. One of my boobs has now started hurting (not the nipple, the boob itself) and I’m so stressed at night trying to get through without my partner waking as he has work the next day. I’m not sure what I’m asking for, I suppose I’m just venting to feel less alone. I’m so grateful to have my baby, but this is so hard and I’m scared.

Stroller recommendations

Hi everyone

Can I please ask for stroller reviews from anyone who loves their strollers especially if you push it on cobblestones or rough terrain.

I have a mama’s and papas Flip TX3 which I absolutely hate! Everytime I use it I get back pain from steering it. It’s also super bumpy and makes me worry about baby but she seems not to mind. Baby is 4 months and we have only used it 5 times. If you have a Flip TX3 , does it get better when baby is older and can sit up?

I chose it because of the lie flat option as I didn’t get a bassinet and also because its foldable and we live on the first floor.

I really need something which is those two things but with great suspension.

Thank you
