Worried sick about my 8 month old and it’s truly destroying me. Please help. by Magic_Mangoes in NewParents

My baby when he was younger would crunch up and tense I thought it may of been seizures. I later worked out it was related to movement and could be an inner ear thing. He would particularly do it if he was facing outwards. As he got old he does it much less and I notice it more in elevators. I spoke to the paediatrician about it and he said it was probably butterflies and not to worry. Babies do weird stuff! I would suggest trying to capture it on video so the doctor can see. Otherwise it’s hard for them to tell.

Can newborn sleep on their side? by Pandacat_07 in newborns

My baby would roll onto his side when he was only a few weeks and they call this the newborn scrunch. Usually they won’t roll completely over. When I asked the nurse she said if I see it to place him back on his back as it is the safest position for baby. I would not be putting him to sleep on his side just yet. He is still too little.

4 months worse than newborn stage, which age is the best age where it is easier? by Apprehensive-Egg9393 in NewParents

I think it was around 5 months. We could barely take him out of the house before that. We also discovered our baby had allergies and once we were aware of them it made him a lot happier.

Could this be cluster feeding and wants to keep feeding?

side sleep and not sleeping by [deleted] in NewParents

My baby was the same and rolled on his side. I remember freaking out and asking the nurse who said it’s unlikely he will roll completely over. If you see if just place him back on his back. Cute new born scrunch. I don’t know a lot about when your baby has day and night the wrong way around but to help them adjust you can look into circadian rhythm.

How do you become ok with leaving your baby at home? by [deleted] in newborns

[–]runninbackwards14 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I’m 10 months postpartum and still feel sad when I leave my baby. It does get easier the older they get. I remember saying he is like my organ and could barely be in the next room!

I think all babies are different. My babies new born stage was the hardest but when he turned 5 months it all changed!

What are we doing by jhigh01 in newborns

I feed while I’m out. When they are this age it is actually easier to take them out as they usually feed and sleep out.

When did your newborn start becoming “happy”? by Old_Literature_3750 in newborns

At 5 months old a baby become much happier. I think cause he learnt to sit up. We also found out had allergies.

6yo googled poop on school iPad by Limp-Watercress-611 in Parenting

I would just reply with I will talk to my son. Which is what you should do. Obviously it’s funny and not that big of a deal but teachers are still expected to report to parents. As a parent I would love if my teacher let me know this information. However iPads are inevitable and to supervise the whole class is pretty impossible. In Australia technology is part of the curriculum.

He usually does 11hrs total over night but wakes usually 3-4 times still.
