January 2026 Babies 🇬🇧

For around a week now, my little girl has been extremely fussy. Constant moaning, whining and crying. Im not sure whats wrong but Im seriously starting to struggle.

She has two teeth and we have been using gels etc, so I dont think its that. We are offering 2 meals a day but its a hit or a miss and depends on what mood she is.

Her sleep has dropped from around 12 hours at night to around 10.5 with extra wakes up. Twice this week she has been inconsolable and really hard to settle.

As for milestones, she is rolling both ways and has good head control. She can't sit unaided and doesn't want to. She prefers to push herself up to stand. She wont lie down, and only likes tummy time for a short while. Im rarely getting 5 minutes to myself.

Anyone else have a fussy baby? Any advice 🫠

Anyone elses little one have days where they seen constantly tired?

Anyone else struggling to sleep even though baby is asleep all night?

Is anyone else in a situation where you and your partner just aren’t getting on? We have just bought a house and my other half has done everything for the house buy I said if he wanted to move when baby was so small then it was all on him as bubba was only a month old when the process started, he accepted this but it’s now being thrown in my face. I have done every night feed for 8 months baby doesn’t sleep longest stretch I get is 4hrs and that’s rare I’m up 5-7 times a night and im exhausted, he never wakes and says let me do this feed you stay in bed. he’s frustrated we’re not being intimate but I genuinely have nothing left to give him come the evenings, I’m going back to work part time next month and I’ll still be expected to do all the night feeds I have told him to pick one night at the weekend to take on Ive had enough he’s said he will but I doubt it will happen. I’m honestly at a loss I really don’t like being around him at all at the moment and I’m so worried it won’t go back to how it was before or at least a new happy normal we’re so at odds with each other right now. Please tell me it’s normal and it does get better or at least tell me you can’t stand your OH right now too 😂 Sorry for the essay

Nowadays I just reject any invitation to us as a couple if it involves the baby being out later than 7pm.

My husband seems to think it's ok for the baby to sleep in the pram at this time so we can do dinner with friends etc, but it's not sitting right with me that it messes the baby's whole routine.

And who has to deal with the consequences of that? Me of course.

What does everyone else do? My family is far away and a lot of our friends don't have children so they just don't get it and think I'm being over the top
