Crying is one of the few ways babies communicate their needs to the world. Whether they are hungry, uncomfortable, or in need of comfort, a baby crying in sleep is a natural signal to let us know something is wrong. “Hey Mama/Papa! Come help me!”
During the day, it’s relatively easy to distinguish the cause of their crying, but at night, when we can also be tired and confused, it can often be more challenging. Babies wake frequently at night, especially in the early months, because they require a feed, a nappy change, or simply want reassurance and comfort. However, some babies also cry during sleep itself, which can be confusing and concerning for parents.
It’s important to understand that in the early months, waking and crying at night is perfectly normal. Babies have many needs during the night, and waking up to meet those needs is a healthy, normal part of their development.

Humans are a carrying species. This means we have carried our babies since the beginning of time, across the most diverse cultures. And this also applies to children with disabilities too, including those with Down syndrome (also known as trisomy 21). A baby with Down syndrome has the same basic needs for love, security and cuddles as every child. Carrying them in a baby carrier or sling is a wonderful way to fulfil these needs and it is particularly beneficial to carry a baby with Down syndrome in a baby carrier. We would like to explain why this is the case in today's blog post.
What is Down Syndrome?
Why do we differentiate between carrying a non-disabled child and carrying a child with Down syndrome? Simply because a baby with Down syndrome has different needs. Down syndrome, also known as trisomy 21, is a genetic disorder in which the 21st chromosome is not
Sitting, crawling, looking upwards - your baby's curiosity is their driving force. Day by day, month by month, they're inching closer to standing upright and the big milestone of "walking". As your little one nears the end of their tenth month, there are new baby milestones to observe. We'd like to share these with you, alongside insights from our expert Katrin Ritter. This month's focus: the half-kneeling position.

Obviously we’re big fans of babywearing and keeping baby close, especially in the fourth trimester. But we also know there are times when you need to put your baby down for a moment. To go to the loo. Shower. Do some postnatal exercise. Just take five minutes where you’re not being touched. Whatever it is, you might be asking “where can I put my baby (without them immediately protesting because they can't be close to me)”? A baby swing seat or rocker, a car seat, baby bouncer, playpen, bassinet? There are a lot of options but we might be able to help. Together with our expert and midwife Katrin Ritter, we'll explore different options today.
