Opinion when baby is sleeping with light noise

My baby is 4 days old and my mom has been staying with us. My husband works in an office upstairs and works late through the night. you can hear him talking but both doors are shut so it’s light noise.

She said the noise is going to affect his brain development and needs to be really quiet through the night.

What are people’s opinions? I personally disagree but interested to see what other moms think ☺️x

Also when changing and feeding him through the night, is it best to do it with no light and no talking?

Nonsense. Has she not heard of white noise?

I used to use a very low light for night feeds, but avoiding talking to help with sleep. Might a very quiet humming of a lullaby but tried to keep anything engaging to a minimum

Nope, babies who sleep in louder areas when little typically sleep better through noises when older. I wouldn't want a baby who can only sleep in silence, makes things much harder further down the line!

I was hoovering around my girl when she was a newborn, she now sleeps through everything at 4 months 🤣 - during the night I keep a red light on to see but won’t talk or turn the lamp on etc so it doesn’t stimulate her

I actually had a health visitor tell me off for sitting in silence and said to turn the TV on 😂

Please do not listen to your mum a baby who can sleep through noise is the best thing you could do for yourself I bought a white noise machine and put it next to my daughter’s ear max volume while she was asleep as a newborn. I would play loud music Hoover speak at normal volume so she got used to sound because there’s nothing worse than having to tip toe around a baby who could wake up at a pin drop and it will be so much better for yourself in the future 🫶🏻

Nooo, you need noise! As much noise as possible when they are sleeping in the day is best for good sleep in the evening! We hoovered, talked, tv etc when he was born and in the cot we have white noise!
He sleeps through everything!

Help Me!

Hi, my daughter is about to turn 5 months old. And I am struggling with postpartum depression. I always feel sad and feel like crying. My mind never feels fresh, and I am not able to sleep for more than 4-5 hours because of the baby. I always stay sad. I forget to brush my teeth, I don't feel like changing my clothes, I don't get time to bathe, I am busy with the baby 24x7. I keep overthinking all the time. I have forgotten how it feels to feel normal.My husband stays out for 12+ hours for his job. When he comes home and sees me, he gets angry about how I am living. He thinks all of this is in my mind. But doing the same thing 24x7 is enough to drive anyone mad. I don't know how people enjoy motherhood, for me it is not easy. I love my daughter a lot, I can take care of her 24x7, but I need 7-8 hours of sleep which I am not getting, and because of that I feel like I am going mad. I don't know what I should do. I don't feel like doing anything. Can anyone suggest what I should do?

Breast engorgement

My baby is 5 days old, my milk came in on Friday and my boobs are huge, solid rocks ever since. My baby isn’t breastfeeding from me so I’ve been using formula and occasionally pumping and feeding her my milk, I’m trying to either dry up my supply or combi feed moving forward. Has anyone experienced boobs being unbearably big and hard and been stuck between drying up and carrying on.. any suggestions to make the milk supply less/manage the enforcement pain is welcome please! 🙏🏼 x

Anyone declined the heel prick/newborn screening/pku?

Has anyone declined the heel prick test? How did that go over with the medical team at delivery? If anyone has more than 5 kids, does just one have one of those disorders it tests for? Is it really 1 in 500 kids that have a one of those disorders, that seems like a lot of kids.

Contact nap help 😭😭

My little one is almost 4 months old and we are still and always have been in contact nap territory. He is rocked to sleep every nap and then will sleep on me for a good hour or so every time his wake window finishes but I need him to start napping in his next to me during the day so I can start doing bits for myself again. He transfers perfect when it’s night time and will sleep through from 9pm until 5:30-6am but during the day he will wake 10-15 minutes later and will not settle back in his next to me. Please tell me I’m not alone in this? & has anyone came out the other side😣😣

Best nappies

We are currently really struggling to find a nappy that doesnt leak over night. My little boy wears size 6+ nappies but they are always leaking at night time. We have tried Tesco, Morrisons and aldi ones. Just wondering which ones people find best, we have tried putting him in a size 7 but there to big on him then.
