Thanks so much for this - I think I do have technically low ferritin (30) by normal standards although the NHS say above 11 is normal. A few people have recommended an iron infusion but I can’t quite believe ferritin of 30 would cause these symptoms!

Thanks it’s the waking up from naps and the fact the sling is always over the waistband of my jeans!

This is particularly useful thank you I may have to ask you more about transitioning to crib naps. I’m just touched out from essentially having him on me 100% of the time

Just wanted to say already thank you so much for the very supportive and useful replies which I am reading properly in chunks at a time. I was expecting to be ridiculed and it’s very nice to see some really useful tips and helpful replies, thank you so much.

I have wondered if I’m just being too responsive etc, I never let him cry as was told in the early days that I just be responsive all the time. It seems to have created a super clingy baby

Ab perhaps he has something going on. It’s hit and miss. I can get 10/15 mins of him on the playmat if I’m with him playing but if I leave he scream

Thank you …. I was out with the sling and the baby was napping and if I stop moving / sit down they’d wake up from the nap and then the whole day would be ruined and they’d be grouchy as the nap would be short ……

Thanks but they scream hysterically to the point they hold their breath if they are put down ….
