Rolling over

My baby is 6 months and just loves to roll over, he can roll in both directions but then can’t roll back! He’s now rolling in his cot which is becoming a nightmare as if he’s uncomfortable he’s crying for us to roll him back over which felt like it was going on all night, he’s started to sleep on his side which then...

Nap Time

Thinking 2-3 long naps in bassinet at a set time would be good to tell our babysitter but wanted to hear what kind of schedu...

16 month regression? AGAIN?

Baby already went through a regression at 14/15 months. He went down to one nap from two. He’s been consistently doing 2-3 hour naps. It’s been great for about a month. Now all of a sudden we’re back to barely 1.5 hour naps?! Nothing has changed 😭 Please help.

Constipation

Any tips on easing constipation. Baby has been struggling for over a week now and when she does go it’s hardly anything. We’ve tried the usual plenty of water, prunes as well as a few other things but nothing is helping 😩 I’m going to call the doctors again if no improvement as they said to wait a little longer to…

How many oz baby drinking ?

I've been pumping 3 5oz bottles to leave for my baby to drink during the day... is that enough? She drinks 7 oz sometimes before bed and I nurse her when she wakes up / when I get home at 4:30 so she nurses twice during the day and has 4 bottles... is that enough ?

We’re trying to get him used to sleeping in his crib again after he’s been poorly he’s been in with us a lot. My baby hates being on his tummy and will just cry and roll back on his back. The past 2 nights he’s been waking up, rolling on his belly and screaming , we then go to put him on his back and he does the sam...

Nappies!

Since my son was a couple of months old we’ve used Pampers. We have recently sized up from 5+ to size 6. Didn’t have any leaks from any of the other sizes but it’s only been a few days and we’ve had about 8 leaks already… Mainly wee but one was a poo 😩 He’s in 12-18months vests and has more than enough room for…

Sleeping 🙃

Our little girl has always been really good at sleeping however, the last month has been HORRENDOUS - to say the least! Up for hours at a time during the night, starting the day at 4am and multiple wake ups. Nothing has changed with her sleep schedules and bedtime routine. She now will fight to go to sleep and takes...

Sleep is killing me

Please tell me I am not alone. My LO can self soothe as he puts himself to sleep for naps but really struggles with bedtime. Takes him about 30 minutes of fussiness to fall asleep and then he is waking soo much crying in the night wanting us! It’s like every 2 hours sometimes even more frequent. Helppp ☹️

What’s everyone’s 12 month old feeding schedule?

My LB turned one on the 7th and we’re transitioning to cows milk. He won’t fully have the cows milk so we’re doing half formula half cows milk at the minute. However, we gave him a bottle yesterday morning but didn’t want any breakfast or dinner so I thought he might’ve been full from the milk. So, this morning I tr...
