6 week milestones

my little one is 6 weeks 3 days and isn’t smiling yet. whenever he is not asleep he is crying and never seems to be happy. my eldest is now 5 years old so I can’t remember if that’s still normal at this age! anyone else?

help :(

hi 🤍 ftm to my almost 2 month old. i choose to breastfeed and bottle feed but i don’t have a consistent schedule. i’ve been doing either or, based upon the time
of day, how much milk i have stored, or how fussy my baby is. i also co-sleep at times but other times he will sleep in his bassinet. but now im realizing the only way he is soothed is by being on my chest or immediately getting breastfed or by the bottle (eating.) i cant really sit him down anywhere anymore for more than 5-10 minutes before he starts crying again. he also doesn’t really rely on pacifiers or like being in his swing that long anymore (he used to love it without crying). i love that he’s attached to me, but i also want to know how to have him be soothed in other ways for when i choose to stop breastfeeding, put him in his crib in his room, travel and need family to watch him, need to run an errand, do anything around the house, etc. any tips or ideas ?

New pushchair/ stroller

I’m fed up of lugging round the travel system so am looking at using the bugaboo butterfly 2 as my only pushchair.

Would you recommend?

Baby HATES getting changed

I'm tired of wrestling a baby crocodile!!! I actually dread the moments where I need to change his clothes or change his nappy because he scream cries and wrestles me off - to the point where I lose my cool and get super stressed. And he has an absolute meltdown when it comes to putting on clothes.
Ive tried giving him household items and toys, I've tried singing, I've tried playing games to make it fun..... What else is there to try??

No sleep

Anybody else's nights look like this? She was doing the odd 3 hour stint but the last 2 weeks we have been on an hour and 15 minutes being the longest spell. She then wakes up at 4am for an hour or more and just cries or babbles loudly.
Is anyone else experiencing this? Looking for light at the end of the tunnel 😭She's turned 6 months today and isn't teething so I imagine this is another regression.

Sleep Trapped

Anyone else having the problem where their little one falls asleep no problem on you then wakes up IMMEDIATELY when you put them down even after their out cold?
