May 2025 Babies 🇬🇧

Wow 10 months is by far the hardest month so far!! I am honestly at my wits end and not enjoying parenting all of the time😭 My lo has started screaming every single car journey no matter what we do, having disrupted nights where it’s taking ages for him to finally settle back to sleep, last few days we’ve got through so many outfits where he’s had nappy explosions I think because of teething. And teething itself is causing him to be so grumpy, sad and miserable. I actually feel anxious leaving the house not knowing if he’ll be ok in the car or how he’ll be while we are out. He isn’t wanting much of his formula and rarely taking a full bottle but isn’t having much in the way of solids either. I don’t know what more I can do as I’m trying everything!

Anyone else struggling with their LO sleep at night.

My little girl has only ever slept through once or twice in the last 10 months so I’m used to the wakes but we’re now not feeding really at night only feed her to try and get her back to sleep sometimes 😂

I have been making a little rod for my own back as some will say as if she’s waking to frequently and I’m too tired I just bring her into bed with me and hubby.

HOWEVER she is soooo fidgety she wants cuddles but then she’s like mum get away from me this morning I was done with her I topped and tailed and she crashed straight out in between my legs ( we do have bed guards up).

I’m constantly exhausted atm just need more sleep tbh any tips and tricks for getting her to stay in her bed I almost think she’s cold. She hates having a sleeping bag on her now that she can move a little bit and obvs no duvet like when she in our bed ( always watches) just don’t know what to do.

Sincerely a mumma who needs more sleep

My baby is 10 months old and it just feels like I'm doing everything wrong. She seems to need two 1 and half hour naps and any less affects the night time sleep and causes massive overtired screaming for days after if one nap goes wrong. This has led to basically being stuck to the house as only naps in cot or in arms in dark room. But aside from that she's really fussy with weaning not trying anything and starts crying in highchair. Also she isn't rolling, can't get herself in sitting position (is fine once up), doesn't crawl or anything. Is desperate to walk but can't even roll yet. No waving or clapping or anything. Just screams a lot when awake because unhappy about most things/overtired or she's asleep. I feel like I've just made a huge mistake having a baby. She's not happy and I don't know what to do to help her.

My LO is EBF and we have been co-sleeping since the 4 months sleep regression. He's almost 10 months, no improvement whatsoever. I'm feeling fine. I go to bed early.

But since many moms are complaining about their babies not sleeping through, but still waking up 2-3 times... I'm like...I wish I could count the times my baby wakes up. 🤣🤣 And it just makes me wonder if he should be waking up less by now.

Anyone else in the same boat?

My 9 month old has started to fight nappy changes where she’ll try crawl off and scream. It’s like trying to wrestle a wild animal 😂 The usual forbidden distractions (phone, remote, wipes) are no longer working. Any other tips?
