Skincare

38 with a one year old. Anyone else struggling with not being able to use skincare products that help wrinkles and fine lines? I hate looking "older" with my crows feet but I have no idea what products are safe to use while breastfeeding or pregnant (fingers crossed, get pregnant again). Or, should I just embrace the wrinkles? :p

I’m at breaking point..

Any advice will be appreciated pleaseee.
My son has always woke up throughout the night (I know this is normal for newborns and even now at nearly 15 months) BUT.. usually when he wakes up I can re settle him. I put him in our bed and he’ll go back to sleep, although after 11pm he’ll never sleep back in his cot. But the past month he’s been waking up inconsolable for a good hour, arching his back and just in tears. I’ve tried so many different things, I’ve even gone to the GP who didn’t know what else to suggest and has referred us to a paediatrician but it’s a 3 month wait.
Has anyone else had this please?
I did originally think maybe night terrors but im unsure. No teeth are coming through either so im just besides myself.
He’s also not too happy in the day, he isn’t the happiest baby (which makes me feel like a bad mum and like I’ve done something wrong, but I think it’s just his personality).

But please can someone recommend something or tell me they’ve had this happen too and it does get better because I’m at breaking point.
Every night I just pray tonight will be the night he’ll sleep through or even for more than just 3 hour stretches but it never is

Changing/bathing in front of the child

Hello mammas,

I need your advice. I have a boy and he is 1 year and 2 months old. My husband works 12 hours a day and I have no family or friends nearby, since we moved when my boy was 1 month old. Due to this, I am taking showers or changing in front of him. I cannot do this while he is sleeping, as in the second i leave the bed, he wakes up instantly.

Untill what age can I still do this in front of him, without damage? I would hate to have mommy issues or God knows what because I want taking showers with him

Are you stillllll breastfeeding !?!?

Yes Hun. Thanks for asking.

Is it just me or are people very critical of feeding infants /toddlers??!? Not like I need to explain why.

Anyone else get annoyed?

When your baby is unsettled and hysterical crying and everyone tries to take over in settling him, then be hero like when he does. Makes me feel like a failure

Is it normal for my baby to cry everytime i put him to sleep?

No matter how long or short hes been awake, even when I pay attention to sleepy cues and wake windows he will always cry when im rocking him to sleep and fights his sleep. Rocking is the only way he'll fall asleep and it works after 5-20 minutes so I know its an effective method im just not sure why he cries and fights sleep so much.

Putting baby down for a little while

My baby is 5 weeks old and we are unable to put him down at all, not even for 5 minutes, without him screaming. We have tried making sure he is fed, changed, warm and waiting for him to sleep for 30 minutes but nothing seems to work. As you can imagine, we are co-sleeping. Any tips would be really appreciated or even hearing some solidarity. My new strategy is to try and put him in the baby sling for a while to get things done but would like to work towards him being comfortable being put down.
