Baby fell off the bed

My 7 month old for the first time rolled out of bed and fell. I had checked on him literally 2 minutes before and he was fast asleep. We cosleep and he’s always placed in the middle of the bed and barely moves. He never rolls over so this was alarming. I heard a “thump “ followed by crying and immediately walked in ...

Is what I’m feeling normal or am I a terrible person

I’m currently just shy of 2 weeks PP, and struggling/in the thick of a lot of emotional feelings. It kicked it around day 5 PP where I would just start crying in the evening for no reason, since then I’ve been weepy most evenings and feeling anxious.

Weaning

Any mammas on here started weaning onto purée yet? My little one is 2 weeks away from 4 months so I won’t be starting yet, but I will be soon.

Dry nappy through the night!

I put a fresh nappy on my little boy at 8pm last night before bed. He’s woken up at 6:30am so I’ve changed his nappy and it’s completely dry? No wees at all in 10 1/2 hours… could this be due to the heat? He still had his usual bottles and water yesterday

Hot weather

Anyone else’s LO really struggling with this heat at night? Baby was sleeping through perfectly up until the last few nights he’s been stirring and wide awake most of the nights, thinking it is due to the heat? Or just one of those lovely sleep regressions 🙃

Fighting naps, won’t sleep in the pram, no longer having long naps in the cot, just half an hour etc. I’ve started to feel a bit overwhelmed and impatient with the new day sleep s...

Sleep

Hey ladies, my baby is 11 days old and she is my first baby. She seems to hate sleeping in her next to me crib at night. She just won’t settle! I thought it might have been that she was too small for the next to me so we brought her Moses basket up but she still won’t settle. The only way we manage to get some sleep...

Multiple wake ups
