Im not anti sleep training or anything, id just prefer not to do it. Our LO is 4.5 months old and we currently cosleep. He sleeps really well as long as I'm beside him but will wake up between sleep cycles and not go back to sleep if I'm not next to him.

For right now, I don't mind doing this but I'm curious if anyone else's baby eventually learnt to connect sleep cycles and of so when?

Baby just turned four months and can roll back to side only. He does this at night to get the boob but after nursing and falling back to sleep just stays there. Other times he doesn't even want the boob. He just wants to roll and be face to boob not nurse. His face isn't pressed up against me but his little hand is on my chest. I put him back on his back and he wakes up upset

Can he suffocate like this? What do I do?

Is anyone else's baby this particular? Our 4 month old recently discovered that he can scream and he uses it a lot.

Left boob instead of right boob? Scream. Tried to rock him to sleep when he wanted to be fed to sleep? Scream. Tried to feed him to sleep when he wants to be rocked? Scream. Tried to offer nap before he was ready? Scream. Wants dad instead of mom? Scream. Wants nana instead of dad? Scream. Wants to be in another room? Scream. He'll scream if a song he doesn't like comes up in the car.

He also only sleeps with mom but if I offer a nap to early he'll scream till someone who didn't try to make him sleep takes him and does something fun with him.

Recently he loves a swing that we have (a sofa type swing, where he sits on our lap) and towards the end of a wake window, he'll scream to go on the swing. Which is generally fine but we live in Canada. We're still getting frost up here so it's not always possible.

Hes not crying and the second he gets what he wants hes happy as a clam, smiling and cooing.

Baby is 4 months old. Reacted to milk, eggs, soy and maybe corn as well but we aren't sure.

My parents are staying with us to help with baby and with summer coming, we tend to go out every now and then. Everyone eats but me and it kind of sucks.

Even if there's something that meets dietary requirements. Im too nervous about cross contamination.

Does everyone else do the same thing? Has anyone successfully managed resteraunts?

Baby is 4 months old and i cannot do the contact naps anymore.

1. Hes over 20 pounds and longer than my torso so the only way to support him is to hold him in my arms and my back and shoulders are killing me. He also wants to be carried around for part of his wake windows. He sleeps almost 4 hours a day - so its a minimum of 4 hours a day, holding him.

2. My husband works 3 12 hour days in a row. And his naps are the only time I'll have to shower, cook and do whatever else needs doing.

We already cosleep and he generally is okay to lay down at night but for naps during the day he wants to be held ONLY. This morning he woke up at 7 and picked him up to feed him and he got mad when it was time for him to lay down.

He did have reflux but hes on Omeprazole now and its well managed. He doesn't even want to be held upright, he wants to be cradled. Baby wearing is not an option because he hates it.

I love him and I love his snuggles but my body cannot handle it anymore.
