Sleeping
My 7 month old baby girl likes to sleep at the top of the cot on her belly with bum in the air which is not an issue. However, she keeps banging her head on the board when she’s moving in her sleep. Has anyone had this issue and knows if there are any bumpers or anything that we can put in the cot to prevent her getting hurt?
We have had a look on Amazon but can’t seem to find anything.
I’ve attached a picture of how she sleeps.
Thank you!

My LG did that and is still a wriggler at 2!
She learnt it hurts when she bangs it so moves more gently now.
Cot bumpers shouldn't be sold in the UK due to numerous safety risks which is probably why you can't find them.
As harsh as it sounds, she will learn that it hurts and be more careful even in her sleep
Bumpers are not safe. She will stop doing it! They can't do any real damage by shuffling against the cot sides anyway

Also if your baby is pulling themselves up or sitting up you will need to lower the cot

Healing advice
Hi everyone!
I had my first baby 8 days ago and unfortunately the birth didn’t quite go to plan, needing suction and an episiotomy.
I’ve been in so much pain and upon getting my stitches checked have found that the wound has opened and cannot be re-stitched due to risk of infection.
Has anyone experienced this? I’m looking for some advice on how long I can expect to be in this pain as something to work towards 🤞🏼

Milk at 1
Hi my baby is 1 tomorrow and I’ve just had my HV appointment who basically said she doesn’t need milk anymore now not even cows milk but obviously if she can’t drop it then swap it for cows milk.
How many bottles are your 12 months having? And also what bottle do you put it in?
We’ve still got about half a tub of formula so I’m going to use that first anyways.

Sex before 6 weeks postpartum
Genuinely.. has anybody had sex before 6 weeks postpartum? I really really wanted to wait but my sex drive has been to the fricken moon and I caved in a few days ago and for some reason I feel really guilty about it 😔 I’m 4 weeks postpartum, had a vaginal delivery with no tears or stitches. And I completely stopped bleeding a few days before I had sex. Is there even a point in waiting an extra 2 weeks since the deed is done or..? 😭

Pressured into breastfeeding?
Just had my 32 week midwife appointment I explained my reasons for not wanting to breastfeed and it almost felt like she wouldn’t take not for an answer. She was trying to scare me telling me all these negatives about formula feeding. Has anyone else had this happen to them? It filled me with so much anxiety!

30 minute daytime naps
My LO is 5 months old next week and she can't nap in the day for longer than 30 minutes. Her wake window is 2 - 2.5 hours, she goes to sleep being rocked and transfers to the cot with no issues but just wont sleep for long. Any tips on how to stretch the nap?
