Any advice or suggestions welcome to reduce wake ups throughout the night. I stick to a schedule for nap times bedtime and wake up time nothing works. Nothing will soothe baby unless I feed him back to sleep I can get him into the cot drowsy and pat him at the start of the night but throughout the night he will cry till I pick him up.
When did you start using the ergopouches with the legs out as in the zipper dividers. There’s so many choices for sleeping bags I usually used the cocoon ones in all different togs but my baby is now almost 9 months old so just seeing for options as he’s growing and will then be walking soon.
8 month old has issues with doing poos he is EBF and used to go multiple times a day then since starting solids it was around once a day then every second day now sometimes he can go 5/6 days without doing a poo that then I’m having to give him a suppository.
Things I’ve tried
Increasing P foods he eats prunes and pears everyday
He has water daily
I avoid things like baby cereal and bananas are they are binding
He loves cauliflower and sweet potato and will eat chicken and beef too.
He loves yoghurt but that seems to make things worse too
Also the doctor recommended giving him a stool softener daily which I do and it did work for two weeks but then the 5 days without a poo happened again.
Is this normal or should I be concerned and go see a paediatrician?
I appreciate any advice or similar situations
My upper back is agony since having a baby it sounds so ridiculous as I feel like I should be able to cope carrying my own baby but I’m 8 months PP and my shoulder and across my back just ache constantly. I feel like a crap mum as I cannot bend over and pick up my baby as much as I want. Is there any tips or advice on how to help this, I do physio once a fortnight and try and walk regularly. Thank in advance

Little one has so many night wakeups I don’t understand why

First nap 930-10:45
Second nap 2:15-330
Bedtime 8
My baby is 8 months old has always had inconsistent sleep but this has been going now for months he will wake around 6/8 times a night sometimes he literally just wants held for like 5 minutes other times he will cry till I feed him or occasionally I can pat him in the cot. I have no idea how to cut these wake ups down I’ve tried everything with scheduling and wake windows nothing helps.

Any help would be appreciated I haven’t had much sleep since he’s been born it’s been so broken. I am even happy when he does 4 wake ups a night and does a 2/3 hour sleep.
My son has never been a good sleeper but at eight months I didn’t think it would still be this many wakeups, any suggestions welcome.
I’m currently 8 months PP I have always been bothered with back pain and some neck pain but recently the pain im experiencing is something else. My whole body is aching my knees, legs, ankles and elbows in particular along with my whole back and hips it’s like a weak achey feeling it all of a sudden has just hit me. I am still EBF my baby. I see a physio and I’m trying to do regular walking but this pain is unbearable it’s even hard to carry my baby every day has any one experienced this or have any solutions?
I used to take 100mg twice a day before I was pregnant during pregnancy I wasn’t bothered too much with nerve pain and even after having my baby it was manageable now 8 month PP I’m in agony my whole body feels achey and tingly especially my lower back and my right leg, does anyone have experience taking gabapentin while breastfeeding? My doctor said it was safe but I’m so cautious about what I take.
I’ve always had issues with my back during pregnancy it subsided and even afterwards it wasn’t too bad, I’m currently 8 months PP and the pain is shocking my back and legs and my knees are agony I am still EBF my baby, but I’m wondering if anyone had this experience or has any suggestions. I’m thinking of getting a MRI done as I already see a physio once a fortnight and the pain is just getting worse it comes and goes and right now is the worst it’s been.
My baby has never slept well but can do longer stretches than this normally around 4/5 wake ups recently it’s been ridiculous what can I do or where am I going wrong?
I feel like I’m failing as I’m still feeding my 8 month old to sleep and during the night with some wakeups he still wants fed, but a nurse told me from 6 months a baby shouldn’t need nightly feeds. This to me sounded crazy but I don’t know if I’m doing the right thing I just don’t want him being upset and if he seeks comfort and being fed helps does it natter. Some nights he’ll wake 4 times others he’ll wake 8 I can sometimes get him back by cuddling or rocking him but other times I do just feed him. When will he grow out of it I’m planning on stopping breastfeeding around a year as he’s been EBF and once he can have normal milk I think will be a good transition time.
I’m 8 months PP and my knees are so sore it’s unreal I’ve never had this before I mean when I was pregnant I felt it and it went away but it’s back and it’s like such an achey pain, I also suffer lower back pain so I feel in the wars. I do physio fornighlty and try and walk as much as I can. But is there any other suggestions or anyone else in this boat.
Does anyone have any feedback on the nuna paal portacot considering buying it due to it having the zip up side as every portacot is so high and want to be able to settle and pat my baby throughout the night.
Does anyone have any experience with the nuna paal porta cot? Just looking for feedback
Hello, I’m looking for the best and safest porta cot price doesn’t matter just want the best option. Any suggestions would be appreciated.
Thinking the bugaboo as like the fact it’s off the floor just worried about the height for putting baby down into.

My almost 8 month old is wakening 1.1/5hourly at night no matter what I do, he will only really accept being breastfed or being rocked back to sleep occasionally. He’s never been a good sleeper but this is just so exhausting and on him too. Why won’t he do a longer stretch he was doing 3/4 hours a few weeks/days ago.
Wake up 645am
First nap 930-1045am
Second nap 230/3pm
Bedtime 730pm
Some days though we have to do three as he cannot keep awake
So it would look like
Wake up 645am
First nap 930-1045am
Second nap 130-2pm
Third nap 430-5pm
Bedtime 8pm
Hi my baby is almost 8 months old and we’re trying to transition to 2 naps a day. Some days we can make it other days we can’t will this effect him more? He currently wakes between 4-8 times a night.
Our day looks like this
Wake up 645am
First nap 930-1045am
Second nap 230/3pm
Bedtime 730pm

I’ve tried everything to keep him awake longer changing scenery toys activities- can’t take him out in the pram or car close to bedtime or he’ll just fall asleep.
How do I get to two naps consistently or is it okay to sometimes do 3 and sometimes do 2?
Thank you any suggestions appreciated.
