Sleep

Is anyone’s baby sleeping through the night? My little girl would happily sleep through the night if we allowed her but I’m conscious on her weight so we’re still feeding her every 4-5 hours in the night as I’m not sure if I can leave her to sleep

Transitioning to a toddler bed

Guys ! How do you do it? My 2 year old is currently still in a crib. I put one of the sides down just to test the waters and it was awful! Every second he was coming out 😭 We’re usually in a good routine at nighttime so I was surprised it was so hard. It’s not even a toddler bed yet. Any recommendations?

Bath/nappy change screaming baby

My little boy is going to be 4 weeks old next Tuesday and absolutely hates to bathe or to have his nappy changed. He screams through the whole process until he is fully dressed again and cuddled. Is anyone else in the same situation? Does anyone have some advice on how to make these “activities” easier?

Did your second child take longer to meet milestones?

My daughter was rolling with a bit of assistance a week before she turned 4 months while my son doesn’t seem interested in rolling. Last week he would get in his side and arch his back to stare at what was behind him but now he’s not even doing that. He’s a unicorn sleeper and I don’t think he’s had a true regress...
