New babies are often easy/sleepy for the first few days/week as well and then wake up! The baby bubble starts to wear of and the tiredness kicks in, all very normal and I’m glad she’s sleeping in the day if she needs too. It’s a huge life changing experience and even when you wante it and live it it’s still exhausting.
Snooze fest ...folk need to move on haha.Omg this threadCringing so hard. They must be loving everyone arguing over them.
I saw that while skipping through too and thought the exact same
although Elle's home gym looks so much better 
Sorry I wasn't having a go, I was ranting about them. Sometimes it comes across wrong when read.That’s what I was saying! Lol I was just saying in the beginning about checking if baby is cold or hot etc and that may of been what she meant by saying she knows her baby etc
But yeah went on to say general rule is one more layer than you etc and agreed they haven’t been doing that lately
No need to get all short we are all on the same page here
To be fair to Carys, the recommended awake time for a newborn up to 6 weeks is actually only an hour before they get overtired- my little boy was the same, he needed a nap after being awake for an hour / an hour and a half right up until 3 months old. And it's nonsense that keeping them awake mean they will sleep more later, at that young age sleep breeds sleep! I agree she is overly fixated on how much Amber needs to sleep, after 4 weeks they do tend to wake up more to the world, but really, she would probably settle better for a nap on one of them whilst she's so tiny. I have been quite strict about good sleep for my son, but my he only napped on me or in the pram until he was 4 months, he slept best on me and I loved the cuddles. Around that age he started showing he was tired and wanted to go to bed around 8pm, so that's when we started to 'put him down' for the night. Even so, I kept him in with us till 6 months due to SIDS and actually, I think we were bothering him because he's slept through 90% of the time ever since he went into his own room (now 18 months). The thing is though, 5/6 weeks is still so tiny, there's so much time to shape gentle routines as they grow and change, I just slept when I could around him at that age.
Yesss I was like oh my god all she has to do is lift her head up like she already did and lean back and she’d be on that solid kitchen floor
last thing she needs is to be his image that’s all we will ever hear about, poor carysNope, I quite like it. I feel like it describes a reaction to certain online content that previously couldn’t be articulated as conciselyAnyone else fed up of hearing the word TRIGGERED
This isn’t aimed at anyone btw I’m just saying in general, it just seems that no one can say right for doing wrong in life these days for it affecting someone or another in some kind of way but unfortunately I feel that’s just life, always has been and always will be
Where did this leaps thing come about?
honestly I can just picture them trying to make amber do everything quicker. probably trying to get her to start rolling over or sitting up now so she does it "early"Advanced
Who even says that? And who even cares whether their child is doing ‘insert skill here’ at ‘x months’ it doesn’t matter!
. your child will do it when they are ready
I don’t even enjoy working out or exercise.....and I had an exercise bike, still have a set of weights, kettlebells and resistance bands in the hope it will motivate me to do something! Lol!
Ever since I came here and had a little read, I can’t unsee the humble brags lmaoWhy does she keep posting stuff like a humble brag “omg Amber is basically standing you guyssssss” - all babies do thatCan’t she just google things.
I was always told never wake a sleeping babyFair enough if there are weight gain issues but i would have to be delusional to wake my baby up to feed him
but I know some are advised to if they’re not gaining. They haven’t suggested Amber isn’t gaining as she should so why wake - unless their sleep course has told them to? 
Absolutely, they should follow baby’s lead, get to know her firstI personally think routines for babies is way too stressful, especially with your first. You don’t need a routine even more so that they are both at home all day, they would find it so much easier just being baby led. I go with the flow and don’t find it stressful like omg im 5 minutes past the nap session!!
It's definitely a thing. I remember ringing my husband in tears once as she wouldn't stop screaming for hoursYeah it is a thing my little boy was super fussy and nothing what so ever would settle him, this along side colic was bloody painful!
Sorry yes of course it was also down to the type of workouts she did and the work she put in, she would never look that way without working out. However, she is still absolutely blessed as I believe she actually used to restrict calories quite a lot so to build that much muscle whilst doing that was extremely fortunate. I've been lifting heavy weights consistently for 6 years and let me tell you my ass looks nothing like that but i look at my mum and my sister's bodies and genetics are definitely not on my side
