Dream feeding
Hi
I need to stop dream feeding my baby at night when he wakes up. How do you do this or transition? He is mainly breastfed but I’ve started to give a bottle on the night on the last feed before he sleeps

How old is baby?
If baby is waking then baby is hungry. Dream feeding would feeding them while they are sleeping gently moving them so they stay in that in between. If you were dream feeding baby would skip that wake up if you time it right b4 they would normally wake.

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

Washing liquid
Hi! I can’t stand the weird smell of any of the blue non bio washing stuff. Is there anything else that can be used for washing newborn? Something that smells a bit better 😬

Deflated to say the least / baby acts totally different with my partner ???
My baby wakes every 1-2hrs of the nights to be fed and always has done since birth. She sometimes has tummy troubles too where she’s struggling to poop for hours so she’ll be screaming all night. (I’ve tried infacol & gripe water, it’s never seemed to help)
She also doesn’t let me put her down (day or night) I’ve bought 3 different rockers/bouncers and she won’t take to any of them. She has 2 moses baskets & a next to me cot, again she won’t use either.
She wakes & cries the second I put her down and this turns to angry screaming, bright red in the face and tears rolling down her face🤣😩
So I’m forced to only have contact naps, co sleep, and I struggle to shower/get dressed etc. Everything else, I can only get done if she’s in the sling.
However she’s an angel with my fiance ??????
Don’t get me wrong, he can’t settle her. She screams in his arms until she’s passed back to me, she’s really clingy and knows who her mumma is😆He can’t GET her to sleep.
But if I pass her to him whilst she’s asleep, he is able to do ANYTHING. So if he has her to give me a break, it makes it look like I’m lying !!!
Whether thats her moses basket, a rocker, or just our bed. He’s able to put her down, go shower, go toilet, get dressed etc without her waking.
I even asked him to have her overnight last night because I’m really ill and so so sleep deprived. (The first time we’ve ever done this because she is breastfed so I’ve always put this off & i don’t have a stash)
Because he can never stop her crying I really expected him to wake me up in the night to help get her back to sleep. But she didn’t cry once for him !!
He gave her formula, 1 feed at 1am. And that was it she slept ALL night, not a peep. Not even any rocking to sleep. He said he put her in the Moses basket wide awake and she fell asleep slept herself (she has NEVER done this with me).
(I pumped at 3am and brought this in to him and saw with my own eyes how calm & undisturbed his night was so it’s not even lies)
She didn’t even wake up to have that pumped milk she slept through….until he brought her in to me before he left for work and suddenly she was WIDE awake.
She had nappy changed & milk, I put her in her rocker so that I can get dressed. What does she do? Kicks off. The second he leaves for work she switches up😆
I DONT UNDERSTAND. I’m starting to feel so down about this. My days + nights are super hard work then the times that he has her, she’s easy and he wonders why I complain.
