Possible reflux or something else?
Hi everyone
My baby girl is 4 weeks old today. She is BF and bottles of pumped milk. She has about 90ml per feed every 3ish hours.
She has started being a bit sick during or after feeds (can be up to an hour or more after feeds). I pace feed, wind and burp during the feed, keep her upright for 30 mins after etc.
When she lies flat on her back (and mainly at night), she constantly clears her throat which is quite wet sounding, sounds congested in her nose, grunts, groans and strains.
Could it be a bit of reflux? Heartburn? Something else? Normal baby behaviour haha?
She is otherwise a very chilled and happy baby, and the sick/spit up doesn’t seem to necessarily bother her.
Thanks!

My boy used to make a lot of noise sleeping on his back and his breathing was really loud too, he has laryngomalacia (floppy larynx)
A little bit of spit up is normal, especially if it doesnt bother her

Has anyone got either of these? Which would you recommend and why? And how old was your child when you got one?

Sleep sack or love to dream swaddle for NEWBORN
Not sure which one to get. I know the love to dream swaddle is good for the startle reflex, but maybe the sleep sack baby will grow out of the reflex quicker?

When babies stop contact napping?
6 weeks of cosleeping and contact napping. I love the snuggles but FOR THE LOVE OF GOD how do I manage to do anything else? I use a sling and carrier to be able to cook, clean, even go to the bathroom.. my baby is getting heavier and it’s not feasible to continue like this.. but I cannot put him down for more than 5 min without hearing the screamssss
When does it get better? when do they sleep and nap on their cot? I know everyone is different but there could be some general pattern for velcro babies

8 week very sleepy
My little girl was 8 weeks yesterday normally very alert in the day does nap still but today she’s been extra sleepy, had a 2 hour nap I woke her changed nappy and within 30 mins back to sleep again. She sleeps well at night so nothing to do with the nights. Is this normal to go through very sleep stages still

Feeling so stuck need some advice please :(
My husband has been emotionally abusive towards me since we had our baby. Things have escalated to the point where he has threatened to come and take our baby away while I’ve been staying with my parents, and even threatened to put my parents in a headlock if they tried to stop him. I feel like his empathy towards me has completely disappeared. He constantly pushes for his mother and sisters to be heavily involved in our lives, to the point where he’s seemingly willing to destroy his relationship with me over it. I feel like he’s constantly trying to tear me down. I’m finding it really difficult because, although part of me feels that I need to leave, I’m absolutely terrified of what that could mean for me and my baby. I’m scared of ending up having to co-parent with someone who has behaved this way and of potentially losing precious time with my baby if we separate. I’m just looking for some reassurance from anyone who has been through something similar that leaving doesn’t necessarily mean things will turn out this way, and that there is hope of protecting both myself and my relationship with my baby. 🥺
