Have you any suggestions on getting baby to sleep during the night?

Baby is almost 4 weeks and breastfed. Usually I feed him and he either falls asleep or is really Dosey. The issue is that as soon as I lie him down in the Moses basket he starts hiccuping, reflux, noises like moaning, groaning, uncomfortable etc which bu 5-10 minutes later escalates into mad crying. Then nothing will settle him at all, just starting the routine again of more breast milk etc.

The Moses basket is propped up. During the day he sleeps flat in the pram etc with no bother.

We used vegetable oil but the smell once it is turned on is awful and the small lingers in the house for at least a day afterwards. What oil is best to use?

We were bought it for Xmas and have used vegetable oil. I've emptied it into the original container but what do I do with it now?

I'm just wondering as I have a decision to make, did you have a second c-section or a VBAC? I feel I'm being pushed into the VBAC as that's the cheapest way for the NHS!

From your experience what would you recommend?

The engine lights come on so its not the battery which is usually the issue. The starter motor is clicking away so it's not that either. It's like it has flooded but when that happens you can feel the engine "trying" to start which usually gets more each time until it starts. That's why I'm puzzled. It's not trying to start at all. It's a cool day maybe 10 degrees Celsius so not exactly cold and it's damp, constant really fine drizzle.

Any ideas or do I need the RAC man again? Thanks

Hahaha it's all changed since I was a child. Remember You and Me or Cockleshell Bay? What's an alternative to Peppa Pig for an 18 month old, I mean something more babyish than Thomas or Postman

Pat! Thanks

I know rear facing is best and you must do rear facing until 9 months (UK) and the legislation which isn't in yet will be 16 months but I was just wondering what people have done. Thanks.

She's 12 months, I seem to give her yogurt, custard or rice pudding every night, any other suggestions please?

She doesn't like crunchy and eats lots of fruit.

Baby has almost outgrown the rear facing group 0+ car seat so I need to be buying the next one. There's so many I'm just lost on which to buy. Do you advise a group 1 then later on a group 2,3 or would you get a group 1,2,3 to start with.

I know it means I would have to buy 2 if I get a group 1 car seat but I'm not bothered about that.

Do you have a group 1,2,3 car seat, isn't it much too big for a 12-18 month old? I'm concerned as the size difference between a 9 month and 11 years is so massive I can't believe a small child fits them properly. Any advice, tips or ideas would be welcome.

A strange question I know but I was going to buy a buggy and my husband asked if the big expensive pushchair will now be redundant so I said no we'd use both. So he said if we have a pushchair then when would we use the buggy as everything we would use a buggy for we could use the pushchair..... When do you use yours, maybe it's use has changed over time?

I've gone through the help section and done the things it says but it's still not working and I need to email them but it keeps referring me back to the help screens, surely you can contact them somehow.

I need a blackout blind for baby's bedroom, where can I get a cordless one from?

Baby is 13 months and a couple of times now the nappies have leaked I was wondering what brand or type you use at bedtime. Maybe it's to do with her sleeping on her front with her bottom in the air as her vest is wet on the tummy above the nappy. Not a great deal but it's still wet and the nappy is really heavy. I use the boots brand.

Do you just give water or milk or something else? I thought milk gave you nightmares!

I was just wondering as now the breast feeding is coming to an end if I should give follow on milk or just cows milk. She has had a little formula before and will drink it but as it has the added vitamin a,d and iron I was wondering if I should give her that as cows milk doesn't have it. What do you do?

Obviously baby is having water etc with meals and throughout the day but do you give something before bed and if so what? Thanks

Baby is 13 months and isn't bothered by breast feeding any more. I've slowly reduced it down to two feeds a day, before breakfast and before bed. All the info I can find says about reducing feeds one at a time but nothing gives advice on the last hurdle of going from the two feeds to one then to stop. Any ideas? Thanks
