My baby is 6 weeks old and every evening she is so fussy and difficult to settle! Is anyone suffering with this and have any pointers? It's so draining 😩

Dealing with this atm too! She’s 5 weeks and every night has a crying spell. We’ve just found tag teaming settling her, walking around our home with her, bouncing on the yoga ball, rocking in the chair, and recently baby sleep sounds on YouTube 😂 we both take turns 5-10 minutes each but even so it’s tough

Yes, mine is 6 weeks and I am ebf so just give him more boob 🤷♀️ or walk around with him.
He has started finding an hour of sleep in the last 2 evenings so I am hoping it will carry on that way.

Ive started to do tummy time right before it starts so 7-7:30 for a little bit and tire him out. Hes ebf so eats more but we sit in our bedroom with nightlight, read a story the let him sleep on me and that has worked wonders for me this past few days x

We had that too, it is just a phase. We done late night baths, songs, white noise, skin to skin.
But just remember its a phase, its hard, I know x
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 😬

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

Anyone else a c section, co sleeping, breastfeeding mama and your body is just in bits? I don’t know if my bed is just uncomfortable postpartum or if it’s my body and cosleeping/breastfeeding positions. I feel like stretching helps a little but my hips and lower back especially are awful, but generally I just feel so achy and uncomfortable most of the time. Is it just me?

I'm curious...when your baby wakes overnight, what is it waking them up? Is it hunger or something else? My little boy (breastfed) only wakes for two nights feeds (which is great!) but wakes himself up after wriggling/flapping about in his sleep every 1.5/2 hours too 😬
