Cybex Cloud T I-size car seat

Can someone please tell me why all of a sudden my 8 month olds head flops forward when asleep in the car?!???? I get so so worried driving, as sometimes there no where safe to stop and reposition his head. Does this mean he’s too big for the seat? Are my back seats to slanted? Am I putting him in wrong?

Sleeping through the night

Hi! FTM here. My lo will be 4 weeks on Tuesday, and she has slept through the night the past 2 nights. She slept 9 hours one night and 8 hours last night. And she’s slept 7 hours one night last week. She was 2 weeks past her due date, so all the milestone apps consider her 6 weeks. According to Dr. Google, she’s wa...

Co sleeping not at home

Unwell

So my husband and I drove up with our baby to visit his parents as we won’t be spending time with them at Christmas. We get there and found out that my MIL forced my FIL to come to the Christmas meal but he didn’t want to as he is sick with a cold. We only found out once we were seated at the table which made me so ...

Advice?

Hi, I am 9 months pp and still feel like I’m constantly overwhelmed, overstimulated, and ragey. I feel like I’m always in a bad mood and my husband has noticed and brought up his concerns about it.

Naps😵‍💫😵‍💫

I've been seeing a few discussions here about naps and dropping a nap. I thought oh yes I could really do with a 2 hour break when LO naps, so I can get loads done.

Contact naps

My 10 month old loves a contact nap and I love them too! Everyone around me seems to have such an opinion on me “needing to get him to nap in his cot” and I just don’t want to! He goes down fine at night and I figure he’s soon going to be too big to sleep on me so I’m making the most of it. Is anyone else just going...

Night terrors

Hi guys. My little boy is 8 months now and last night I think he had a night terror but it was so freaky I wasn't sure if I needed to ring 111. He started screaming in his sleep, like a blood curdling scream. We tried everything to wake him up gently and nothing worked. So I picked him up in the hope it would sooth ...

Drying sterilised bottles

The problem I’m having at the moment is once I’ve sterilised my daughters bottles the condensation on them stays there for what seems like forever and I’ve been told I can’t dry them off with a cloth/tea towel literally anything. I have no idea if it’s fine to leave the condensation in the bottle and feed her or if ...

Car seat

Recently, my lo has been hating the car seat. As soon as we put him in, he'll start screaming and will only stop when we take him out. Car journeys are starting to become extremely stressful. We've added a toy onto his car seat to keep him entertained. It works for the first couple of minutes and then he will start...
