My little one (almost 4 weeks old) started doing this a few nights ago. She'd be in her moses basket flinging her arms and legs around and making noises but turns out she was still asleep! I found it hard to sleep through it because I was constantly on edge thinking she was going to wake for a feedIs there a 6 week sleep regression? Last few nights baby has been really unsettled, she writhes around grunting like she’s uncomfortable even after bringing up a lot of wind, making loads of noise and when I feed her she wriggles around, kicking her legs and grunting again. She won’t sleep anywhere, not even on me - at a push I can get half an hour if I feed her lying down and she falls asleep while feeding. But she’s not crying at all, so I don’t think she’s in any pain? Also, she only does this at night - no wriggling or grunting during the day.. I’m just really confused and have tried every burping position possible. Honestly could cry - except my eyes are too tired and dry
she didn't do it last night though and was a lot more settled, so I'm hoping it was just a little blip!
I can 100% relate to this, my baby is now 6 months old and the pain was unbearable at times, I bought myself a coccyx cushion to sit on to just help keep some pressure off which kid of helped but not much, I would say it was really uncomfortable for a good 3 1/2 months, now if I catch myself awkwardly it still feels tender. My midwife told me it was down to the epi, my gp said back to back.
xxHe does the same. Or he turns the spoons around and knocks the food off the other end and sucks the wrong end of the spoon. We've had some meals where he's eaten bits but so hit and miss! Typically when my parents were over he tucked into a roast dinner using his hands, never done anything of the sort beforeWhat a relief to hear it’s not just us. She basically flings her head back at the sight of the spoon. The only finger food she has accepted is some toast crusts from my toddler! She is 6.5 months and starts nursery in 2 weeks- I’m secretly hoping they sort it out
I’m not sure about the drops I never used them but have you tried gripe water it’s the only thing worked for mine
Dentinox worked great for us for wind, made her burp everytime, much better than colief or other ones
We've always used them and they have massively helped for us.
how would they like being tickled the second they wake up? If I mention it to my husband he gets really defensive and I don’t get anywhere hope this makes senseThat’s annoyingHad the in-laws over this afternoon asking annoying questions.
Why are they so bothered about when baby is moving into his own room? We’ll do it when we’re ready. stupid comments like “you’ll sleep better” yet I genuinely don’t complain about sleep at all lol
Also they’ve got this thing where they feel like they need to tickle him or touch him. Like earlier I was feeding him and my FIL kept touching his head which kept stressing baby out, how do I say back the duck off without sounding like a total witch?
when he’s in his pram they jump out of nowhere thinking it’s funny/cute but he just cries
my in laws have little annoying habits with my babies too. Like any time any of them ever grumble when a baby it’s always “they’ve got wind” from FIL, and if they grumble when MIL is holding them she throws them back like a grenade with the pin out saying “oh you want mummy now” (I don’t mind that second one actually, I do prefer to have them if they are starting to fuss, but it’s something about the way she does it I find insanely annoying 
). Yeah I think that might be it! I just try to say it in a way that doesn’t sound attacking like “ oh no, I wouldn’t like being tickled when I’m woken up. It’s ok we won’t do that again” and YES any grumble it’s “the baby is pooing” trusssssssst me, he’s not pooing! Or “oh the baby is dribbling” yep, he’s a babyThat’s annoying
Some people (old people) forget what babies are like, and that they aren’t older kids who play.
Baby would turn her face away and MIL would just go to the other side and keep on no matter how many hints at overstimulation I made.
It’s just hard to feel like someone is telling you what your baby needs like they know better. Tula free to growDoes anybody have any recommendations on baby carriers? We had the ergo baby embrace which I loved but baby is too heavy for it now (11kg) so looking to upgrade. We thought we’d managed without one but we love walking in the Peak District and there’s only so many pram friendly walks I can repeat
I’ve been looking at the ergo baby omni 360 carrier, but if anyone has any other suggestions that would be great so I can compare
I’m using it with my almost 4mo and it will last until at least 2 (i then have a toddler Tula). Don’t get a standard Tula yet, as they say they do from 15lbs but realistically they are so wide in the base they don’t properly fit til around 9 months. Whereas the free to grow is adjustable.We've got the baby bjorn move, I think it goes up till 15kg. We really like it and find it comfortable. I really like the look of their new harmony one but is very pricey! They both don't go up to a weight as heavy as the ergo baby one though! Everyone i know with an ergo one absolutely loves it.Does anybody have any recommendations on baby carriers?

Second vote for a Tula free to grow. I upgraded to an explore for this baby but actually end up using my free to grow all the time as it’s much comfier. I love my Tula!Does anybody have any recommendations on baby carriers? We had the ergo baby embrace which I loved but baby is too heavy for it now (11kg) so looking to upgrade.

In-laws are sent to test your patience. They always seem to think they know best when it comes to YOUR baby. Waking them up when they were sleeping for a cuddle was always one that my in-laws didHad the in-laws over this afternoon asking annoying questions.
