I’m a FTM so sorry if I’m being daft. Baby is 7 days old - atm we are responding to his cries so we are leaving him to sleep and settle in his cot until he tells us otherwise.

I gave birth to a 9lb 6oz baby, and at 3.5 weeks, he weighed 10lb 10oz, so he’s feeding well. He’s mostly breastfed but also had expressed breast milk recently due to a breast injury. Now at pretty much four weeks old, both breasts are back in action, but he gets stressed at bedtime. It could be cluster feeding - I’...

I have stopped night feedings and refrained from picking him up every time he cries so he could learn to self soothe but he sleeps for 4 hours in his crib and then wake up every hour for the rest of the night. Any tips to get him to sleep through the ni...
Is anyone going through the 4 month sleep regression also experiencing issues with feeding? My daughter is 4.5 months and has started refusing naps and also refusing to eat during the day time, which is leading to more nighttime wake ups. We tried feeding her in a dark quiet room, changing the nipple for a faster fl...
Has anyone one had success with the dreamland weighted sleep sack! I’m interested in trying it for my baby. He will be 2 months and loves to be swaddled but only the love to dream swaddle. He moves so much in his sleep to where he is only staying awake short periods of time
