Day-Time Naps
When did your little one start sleeping during the day? My 10 week old struggles with it a lot. He will only sleep for a while if he’s on me. I’ve tried multiple times in putting him down but he will wake up a few minutes later still so tired and then he fights going back to sleep. I’ve tried a darkened room, white noise, shushing and laying him next to me I’ve literally tried it all and he hasn’t improved. I’m thinking maybe it’s less of what I’m doing and more to do with the fact he is still very young?

My little one was the sameeee ! Was sleeping just on me ! Was very overwhelming!
He start to do naps in his cot around 6 months old !
Always done contact naps with my boy and he’s 2.5 now 🤷♀️ great time for me to sleep too (we snuggle in bed together)
My little girl was the same and would only nap on me until about 3-4 months old, then one day she was just fine napping in her crib and has been ever since. Now I miss the contact naps 🤣
It's because he wants to be on you
What really helped me with transferring my baby from my arms to the bassinet/crib is that I’d warm up the area first with a hot water bottle, then just when I’m about to put him down I’ll remove it first. Just like yourself I struggled a lot with getting baby to sleep in the bassinet but since I started using the hot water bottle, putting him down has been so very easy and stress free x
It doesn’t get better . Them babies hate sleep especially boys . It’s the reason I swear ong I had postpartum depression. Mine cried a ton as a baby. Almost never slept . I believe it drove me crazy . My daughter was not like that
My baby is almost 6 months and we still only contact nap and co-sleep on a night. She struggles to sleep on her own and that is absolutely fine, it’s not forever and I’ll happily take all the snuggles until she doesn’t want to anymore

Cold nursery
Any tips on keeping the nursery / baby warm now it's cold at night?! The nursery is around 20 degrees when she goes to bed and the heating is on but then by 4am it has dropped to 16 degrees and I think it's making her wake up loads (she woke up every 10 mins between 4 and 5am last night which she has never done before). I've got her in a 2.5 tog sleeveless sleeping bag, long sleeved vest and sleepsuit. Obviously we can't afford to keep the heating on all night! LO is 6 months old. Any ideas?!

12 hours no feed?!
Hello has your little one ever gone 12 hours or more without a feed? My boy is 4 months tomorrow and last night he woke up every 10 mins from midnight, crying like he’s in pain. He did this for about 2 hours so we decided to give him calpol where he eventually settled and didn’t wake up until 8am this morning and refused his bottle still!! (His last bottle was at 8:30pm) He eventually drank his normal amount about half 9 ish with great difficulty from my end😭 Anyone have similar experiences?

RSV vaccine - how necessary is it?
Not a question for hardcore anti vaxxers please! I am pro vaccines but avoid some less necessary ones like the seasonal flu vaccine. I had it once and it get me the worst flu I've ever i wonder if RSV is similar? Thoughts?? Thank you

4 month old regression
Is anyone else’s 4 month old refusing to do anything other than be held.
The whole of her 3 month she was completely fine loved playing on her mat, wanting toys more than wanting to be carried etc and now all she wants is to be carried around the house.
She also started making these grunting noises and loud shouts, like she’s crying or taking a poo, but then stops and smiles. Honestly scared me the other day coz I thought she was having a fit, her squeals went on for hours.
Is any of this normal? Feel like I’m losing my mind 😭
