Have you tried putting a top you’ve worn round the mattress in his basket ? X

It’s perfectly normal for baby to want to be close to you, you’re still in the fourth trimester, he is still getting used to being out in the world. My son was the same and in the end the only thing that worked for us and meant we both slept was co sleeping because he refused his Moses basket, crib, cot all of it and if I tried to he would wake and stay awake all night.

Reducing formula feeds

I've just been told by my nursery that they wont give bottles of/and formula from 1 year one, my little boys 1 in 3 weeks.
Looking for advice on how to reduce his formula intake?
Hes loves both food and milk 🫣 I think he will drink cows milk so that's not the issue im more concerned about the fact that hes in a routine with his bottles.

1 week postpartum

Hi, I’m 1 week postpartum and exclusively breastfeeding. My baby last had a poo on 20th March (when she was 3 days old) and hasn’t had one since… just wet nappies. She seems very okay too. Is this normal? I’m seeing the health visitor on Monday but just wanted some reassurance thanks x

Dummy dilemma

My LO is 4.5 months old and pre birth i was quite adamant that I didn't want her to have a dummy. About 4 days in we caved and it gave some well needed relief in those first few months! She used to only have it during the day and didn't need it at night. Since the delightful sleep regression has hit we have found ourselves just using it to settle her during the night. As such, we are now finding ourselves having to put it back in about 5-6 times a night, maybe more and I'm cursing the day i ever bloody bought one because now I think she is so reliant on it! Considering going cold turkey but don't feel mentally prepared for it. Has anyone tried just getting rid of them and riding it out? I wish I'd never bought one but I have no idea what I would do now in the early hours to settle her! Hoping to sleep train at 6 months and the general advice is to not do that with the dummy. I'm driving myself mad with how much I feel like I've made her be so comforted by it 😒 x

CPS?

Something’s wrong with me. My LG was wailing & crying & screaming & all I did was watch. Didn’t feel like picking her up to comfort her & still don’t.. should I just turn myself in?
