Bumped baby’s head 😭

Bumped baby’s head quite hard... she’s cried for about 30 seconds, fed and seemed fine. It’s her nap time and she’s gone to sleep.... is this ok? I feel terrible and not sure what to do or if she needs to be looked at?

If I was you when she wakes up go to the a&e and do a check up just to make sure she is ok

My lg bumped her head once and she was fine but I felt bad and worried for ages...phoned the doctor later and said if she's behaving fine she's fine...also got a leaflet emailed to me by midwife ( I phoned everyone lbs)what to look out for do you want me to email it to you? Xx

Call 111 for advice x

As long as she has not lost consciousness then just monitor her. If she starts vomiting, fitting, or doesn’t wake up when you try and rouse her then take her to A&E.

Babies tend to sleep more after a bang to the head, I would call 111 (my lo hit her head on my partners glasses after he fell down the stairs holding her) and they just transferred us through to a walk-in clinic triage phone line and they ask questions over the phone to determine whether they should go in or not. I wouldn’t go to a&e until you’ve spoken to them with everything that’s going on and the staff will be thinly stretched xx

I’m not going to lie my little one (at 9.5 months old) fell and hit his head and a bump and bruise came up right away (which is a good sign) I just monitored him as I knew that’s what we would be told to do. X

Help! First time mum -

I have a 4 month old and now all of a sudden when he’s been asleep for 1hr30/2hrs he will wake up screaming (high pitched) I’ve tried winding him sometimes that helps, I’ve tried bicycle legs & bringing his knees up but that doesn’t seem to help but he brings his knees up himself sometimes but nothing happens. I’ve noticed since the 4 month mark he has started to struggle passing wind downwards! Any tips?

Hour night wakes and 5am get up

Can anyone shed some light as to why on earth my child doesn’t want to sleep??? My eyeballs are bleeding!!

Never been a good sleeper, but the problems always changing. He’s nearly 9 months old.

Beginning of the month he dropped to 2 naps. We could put him to bed at 7pm and he’d get up for the day at 6am, with multiple wake ups every 2/3 hours.

Now we put him down at 7pm, he can do a good 4/5 hour stretch, but come 1/2am he’s up every hour then getting up for the day at 5am. This then completely messes up the day because I can’t keep him awake long enough to even get to 7pm, let alone later.

He has 2 naps, roughly about 1hr10 each but it changed based on when he wakes and trying to get him to a reasonable bed time.

What could be the reason for this? 6am is fine, but 5am is not 😩😩

Don’t want to leave my first born😭😭😭

Anyone else extremely sad and anxious to leave their first born😭

He’s 2 and we have never not put him to bed or be here for when he wakes up😭

I’m so sad and anxious about leaving him

Crying during feeding

Hey mams! My girl is 6 weeks on Monday and is having so much trouble with feeding. It doesn’t happen every feed but more often than not she will start a bottle and just start crying as if she’s in pain and she can’t take the milk. I think it’s trapped wind but I genuinely don’t know what to do it’s so pitiful to see her not be able to feed! She’s formula fed and on HiPP Organic.
Anyone else been in this position? I’m pretty sure it’s just a bit of trapped wind that she needs to fart out but can’t! If anyone has any advice I’d be very grateful as I think I may need to tape my eyelids open soon 😂

Sleeping

Hi all!

No more naps! 10 month old

For a few days now my 10m old has fought her 2 daily naps. Normally her wake windows were 3-4 hours and she is now eventually napping after a 6 hour wake window. Today was only one nap, she skipped the second one. Used to nap like clockwork so I’m wondering if anyone else is experiencing this? Also very unsettled most nights and doesn’t sleep well at all
