5 month old will not sleep 😖

Please help!! I am literally at my wits end, my 5 month old has always been a bad night sleeper, I’ve not had more than 2 hours in one stint since she was born (completely different to my first). Initially she was being swaddled and she would sleep for 1-1.5 hours before waking to be fed (EBF), then it got hot so we stopped swaddling, and she was up every 45 minutes. We have tried putting her in the Purflo, the Rockit Zed, white noise, putting her down on her side and rolling her to her back, breastmilk on a muslin next to her, she will not sleep in her cot and it’s killing me. I always end up co sleeping but I don’t want to because I can’t sleep then, I’m so worried about my husband somehow rolling onto her (she’s on my side) and a previous shoulder injury just gives me such pain when she’s in the bed. Her cot is an extension to our bed so there’s no bridge between the mattresses. PLEASE someone help! What on earth can I do? I have chronic dry eyes because of the lack of sleep and have also been struck with a bad case of tonsillitis too. I just need to get some sleep and need her to sleep at night. During the day she sleeps quite well, either in the pushchair or in the car or the carrier, but the nights are horrendous and I’m literally at breaking point. She’d probably sleep on a pillow but I know that’s not safe sleep, it’s almost like she’s not cosy enough in the cot because it’s so bare 😖 please please any and all suggestions welcomed!

Supplements whilst breastfeeding

Right, I need some help here, completely new to taking any form of supplement/vitamin but I’m a mama in need! My baby is 5 months, exclusively breastfed and doesn’t sleep longer than an hour at a time at night - I am TIRED, drained, run down, running on less than fumes and need something to perk me up. I’m also extremely prone to getting over stressed which doesn’t help. So I’m looking for a combination of vitamins/gummies, no powders please, that can tackle the new mum drain, sleep deprivation, lack of libido, maybe also cravings tackling, maybe just an overhaul!!! I was having a look at the lemme gummies but there’s so many, I feel like I’d need them all! PS I also have a 2 year old so it’s ROUGH out here!! Thanks a million!

Karoq Sportline 2019 EPC error

Hi all, I have a 2019 Karoq Sportline 1.5 DSG Petrol, it is just over 60,000 and for the last week has been coming up with EPC, auto start stop failure and start engine manually error messages. The error messages went when I’d turned it on and off. Initially I put it down to low petrol but this evening it came up with an error saying maximum 4000 RPM and then felt really weak and no power, this error was also teamed with EPC error and auto start stop failure. I was only 5 mins from home and I’m now waiting for the breakdown lorry.

Does anyone have any idea of what these could be and ideas of cost/your experience etc? I have the All In service plan, so perhaps the repair may be warranty covered but I’m not sure! Any reports/reviews welcomed!

Replacement for Amazon Mama Bear Sensitive Wipes?

Has anyone found a like for like replacement of these baby wipes?! The new version is more of a toilet paper kind of feel and we’ve also tried the blue packet of mama bear wipes that are supposed to be like water wipes! The new ones and blue packet seem to all come out in a clump, they’re more dry than the original and mega thin! Looking for like for like recommendations please! I’ve just ordered 2 boxes of the old version but I’m not convinced that it’s the legitimate old version! Thanks all!

Messages from beyond the grave

Hi all, I’m not sure if I’m looking too deeply into this and hoping for a sign but my grandmother died in march and 4 days later I had my second daughter. Since then, I’ve experienced the following:

  1. I had deleted my grandmother’s phone number from my contacts and removed her from her favourites and then got into my car a few days ago and her name was listed on my favourites twice and the number no longer deleted.
  2. My two year-old was sat at our table last week and pointed at the empty chair and said that (grandmother’s name) was sitting there, she had never been to our house due to ill health.
  3. We were clearing out her house and opened a suitcase we had not seen before. The first thing I opened within the suitcase was a box containing a pearl necklace, my newborn daughter is called Pearlie. She did not know what her name was when she died as we hadn’t told any family.
  4. We were then also going through photos at her house yesterday and I found a small album with six photos. All of these photos are of a baby that we don’t know but it is a spitting image of my newborn daughter. None of our living family know who the baby is.

Do we think these are all coincidences or is this possibly her ending a message from beyond and should I be maybe seeing someone?

Thanks!
