I've always had excellent advice in the past on here and am wondering if anyone can give me some pointers with a few things and wondering if they all might be linked?


My 4 month old son has always been a great sleeper (terrible feeder though, you can never win) but has started rolling in his sleep and waking up on his front wailing. He has yet mastered how to roll back over and he is obviously not comfortable sleeping on his front. I was thinking of bolstering up the sides of his cot to stop him rolling but worried about him shoving his face into whatever I use. Do you think I should just put up with this as a 'phase' and hope he either stops or learns to flip forward?


He has also been teething the past few weeks, producing huge amounts of drool, really flushed cheeks and biting on everything. Am trying all the usual suggestions, such as teetha, cooled teether toys, sophie the giraffe etc and that seems to help his pain but he is also puking like crazy which started around the time of teething (just after his 16 week jabs). It seems to happen about 2 hours after a feed and he is not in any discomfort but there is a lot of it but quite mucousy which makes me think its all the saliva he is swallowing. And to top it off he is back to doing new born type nappies - about 6 a day and weirdly (apologies for too much detail) it much more like breastmilk poop even though he is now fully on formula. GP and health visitor have put it all down to teething and say it's definately not reflux as no pain or back arching. I just wondered if anyone else had this experience and knew of a way to ease the puking. Oh and that gets worse every time he rolls and if I turn my back for a moment he is face down in it! Or again is it just a phase and hopefully the poor little man will soon stop requiring 6 changes a day!


Edited to add: have just started him on some baby rice on the advice to wean early as he is big and showing all the signs. Also took him to see a cranial osteopath but have yet to see an improvement.


Sorry for the rather random topics and graphic details but EDF always seems to have good answers! Thanks in advance

Hi, I also had the throwing up with mine, exactly the same thing 2 hours after giving him solids (and quite mucosy sometimes too). This started when I weaned him at 6 months so I started a food diary and realised that he was throwing up 2 hours after eating potato (!!!!), so I stopped giving him potato and so far no more vomiting. He also started going through 10 nappies a day but that didn't last long about 2 weeks. The GP at the time said it was a bugs. he is nearly 10 months old now and one day soon I will give him some potato see how he gets on. Looking back he was also starting teething at the time so who knows if it is related. I used to worry too but now I know it is just 'one of those things'!

My baby also rolls and at the moment he likes to sleep facing down with his bottom in the air. Sometimes he wriggles into impossible positions against the cot bars and wakes up with bar marks all over his face, but if I try to change his position he wriggles back, so it must be comfy for him!

Have you tried giving smaller feeds more often? Some people believe teething coincides with development changes to the gastrointestinal tract... which seems odd until you realise that teeth are part of the digestive system ... it may also go some way to explaining why many babies have diarrhea with teething.

    • I had not realised your photographs were of the road I live in - which I must admit I do not recognize. I had though they were not Underhill Road  but elsewhere. Apologies. I had thought I was writing of my own experiences in Underhill Road but obviously I don't know my own streets. When the men I watch tip rubbish into their lorries they do not seem to spill out into the road, but obviously my eyes aren't good enough to see this.
    • It was around New Year 2023; I had walked my dog past the exact spot late that evening before it happened. There were a lot of cars in Straker's Road that night playing loud music. "Roadmen" Alice. We all know who they are but you are daring, through the use of public shaming and ostracism, people to declare something you already know. Tut tut Alice, white boys also affect a Roadman persona. There was a statistic I read on a council advert at a bus stop in Lambeth, it said "99% of young people in Lambeth have never been in trouble with the police". We all know 99% of the 1% are Roadmen so lets not pretend any further.
    • “Peckham rye is a very safe place to be” was someone not murdered for a phone a few years back, also daily muggings happening at the park if you look outside of you bubble 
    • Is that your comment; people shouldn't overfill their bins? Nobody does. All those bins had lids closed. The problem is when they open them and the bin tips into the lorry and half a dozen pieces of litter fall to the floor. Are you actually denying photographic evidence?
