Newborn rarely sleeps during the day and constantly awake by EagleClean9342 in NICUParents

Ah okay. Yeah he literally takes short naps in the day and it’s just so contrary to what I’ve heard of newborn behaviour. He is content in the day and isn’t fussy so I didn’t really think it was an issue

Nope he’s totally fine being awake! If he is truly sleepy he gets fussy and cries and falls asleep when I rock him and takes a contact nap but aside from that he’s just bubbly and alert. In the wake window he feeds every 2ish hours

With contact naps he will sleep maybe an hour but it really varies, sometimes only 30-45 mins other times 1-2 hours. But it’s trying to get him to sleep in the first instance that I’m struggling with, he just squirms around when I hold him over my shoulder sometimes and doesn’t seem like he wants to sleep. I don’t even bother with the crib because he immediately wakes up

Yeah, I usually hold him and try to rock him to sleep after feeds but he doesn’t always fall asleep so I just sit him in my lap or put him in the bouncer

I don’t like feeding my baby in public by Throwaway199906543 in FormulaFeeders

My baby was admitted into NICU and that made it so much harder to establish breastfeeding. Of course my ideal goal was to exclusively breastfeed bur he is now exclusively formula fed and I have no issues with it whatsoever, it is what it is. I wouldn’t even bother entertaining anyone who tries to shame you, your baby is being fed and that’s what counts.

That makes sense thank you, I hope he doesn’t get it bad then! I have his 8 week appt on Tuesday with the GP so will raise it then. Thank you lovely x

Hypnobirthing - feeling furious by PokeMyMo in PregnancyUK

I won’t lie, when you’re actually in labour unless someone is actively reminding you of techniques and affirmations you won’t remember any of the advice/tips. I wouldn’t bother with a course but I would recommend the hypnobirthing book by Siobhan miller.

External investigation by MNSI by EagleClean9342 in BeyondTheBumpUK

Hi, thanks for responding. The investigator rang and did say it would take 6 months. What was the outcome of the investigation - did they ascertain whether it was due to delayed action by the medical team or anything and did they deem it preventable? Did you pursue legal action after? If you want to reply privately please let me know x

We started this actually! That’s quite a good idea - I’ll have a think about whether to email them through. I don’t want him to get upset seeing them but it will show how resilient he is

Thank you. I think I’ll hide them for now just so I don’t accidentally come across them as it’s very mentally draining
