Hi Trisha,

This is just an old wives tale therefore there is no evidence that is actually works. I’d advise waking your baby at certain times during the day to ensure he is tired enough to sleep at night time. The maximum naptime allowance at this age is 3.5 hours.

Good luck
Best Regards
Edel

My husband flipped him but it doesn’t seem to have done anything as he is still sleeping all day and staying up all night. Is flipping supposed to help the same night you flip them or does it take time before you notice a change?

Hi Sherry,
If she was sleeping well maybe it did do the opposite! If you have any concerns about her I would talk to her gp, especially if you feel she goes into a trance. I don’t recommend this method and see it as an old wives tale!
I hope all settles down soon.
Best Regards
Edel

Any ideas why?

Putting rice cereal in the baby’s formula / breast milk before bed. I had 5 children, none of them over weight, healthy and exercised ate properly and it was never an issue. The key is common sense and balance 2 teaspoons or 2 tablespoons will not harm, increase the amount and it’s not good.

I believe when we have babies we are gifted with insight if we listen, it will guide us. don’t panic, slow down, take a deep breathe and look at’s what there. Common sense goes a long way, if you have an au oh feeling, the more urgent it is, get your butt and the child to the hospital. If in doubt see your doctor. Trust yourself, trust your medical support staff. And breathe, rest with the new born when the new born does. eat and drink lots of water or the milk dries up. Enjoy your baby, they don’t stay that way long. Good luck, love and blessings always.
