Baby sleep

Sleep regression

How have you managed to navigate the 4 month sleep regression and can it start as early as 3 and a half months or 15 weeks? My baby used to sleep from 8:30-4 now is up every hour and a half.

Tummy time

How long do we continue to do tummy time ? My baby is 15 weeks but every time I put her on her front she rolls to her back. Do I continue to just keep rolling her back over ? I'm not sure what age you're meant to encourage tummy time until.

Family

Resentment and placing blame on partner

Firstly, please don’t judge me - I’m aware all my thoughts aren’t rational and I do already feel badly about them

I’m finding myself becoming easily frustrated, annoyed, and placing a lot of blame on my partner for many things. Now I’d get it if he was rubbish but he’s not - he has the baby straight away when he gets home from work, he lets me get ready and shower before he goes to work, he pitches in with the chores and gives me any time I ask for off. He doesn’t go out loads either.

I do a lot of the mental labour - realising we need more of and purchasing clothes, milk, groceries, deciding dinner, cooking, cleaning, thinking about what baby needs, etc.

However I just find myself annoyed and blaming him for so many things I find difficult. I know this isn’t fair, but it’s almost like I’m angry that he’s finding it easy and I’m not. Angry if I’ve just got the baby to sleep and he doesn’t think and closes doors to loudly. Angry when he doesn’t dress baby warm enough, or when he puts him in a car seat with a coat on. When he forgets a blanket or doesn’t wash his hands and plays with him. When hes snoring and I’ve just got the baby to drift off.

We have had many conversations and he has tried to take loads off me but it never feels like enough for me to stop being annoyed with him.

Am I experiencing some sort of post partum mental health issues? I find myself upset and crying a lot. any advice would help.

Early pregnancy symptoms

Period TMI

So I’ve just got my period 10 months post postpartum and I am literally going through a pad and tampon nearly every hour. Is it normal for it to be this heavy? There’s not really any clots just a lot of blood. I’ve barely had any sleep because I keep leaking through both things😫

Potty training

Potty training ready?

Hello everyone I was wondering if my son may be potty training ready? My son is 17m almost 18m old. He is not afraid of the toilet and actually curious about it. He is always trying to rip off his diaper even when completely dry and once he gets it off he throws it around like 3 times before he walks away. However, I did hear one sign that makes kids potty ready is dry diapers at night. He still fills up those bad boys. So in all of your experiences do you think hes ready?
