Going to go crazy‼️‼️‼️‼️

I always said I would never co-sleep because I like my space in bed. Nyla has always loved her crib and never had any issues. The last week Nyla has been more clingy with me and will not sleep in her crib at night. I give up. You win Nyla Marie. I am losing my sanity and sleep trying to repeatedly put her back in the crib each time. I just spent the last 45 minutes going back and forth from the crib. I gave up and put her in the bed next to me and she falls immediately to sleep. If anyone has any tips, tricks, coffee recipes, alcohol recipes let me know.

Ok vent over! But for real send me any tips, tricks or recipes

Same. My girl is literally sleeping on me as I type this cuz shes been resisting her bassinet. Just make sure youre cosleeping as safely as possible! Theres an increased suffocation risk if you dont do it safely, so make sure to try your best to not fall asleep accidentally. Hopefully our baby girls get through this phase quickly!

oh girl i have no advice because i gave up on the bedside sleeper/crib life in the first month with both my babies 😂🥲😩. Thankfully we have a King size bed. But good news is since u were able to get her to sleep in her crib before she probably will go back to it eventually. May be going through a growth spurt phase where she needs extra closeness to feel comforted! Keep doing what you’re doing with trying to settle her in the crib first until she gets comfortable there again

Is she breast fed or formula fed? My daughter is formula fed and I noticed if I warm her bottle for her night time bottle she seems to sleep better at night.

I’m so sorry you’re going crazy
:( just know that you are not alone. My little one is 15 weeks old and since week 3, he only contact naps and stay asleep at night when he’s on my chest 😳 I am terrified of SIDS and tried so many things before I gave in to chest sleeping. I was so sleep deprived for days. I don’t think people realise how destructive lack of sleep is.

Although, co-sleeping is not recommend, it is so much more important to learn how to co-sleep safely than to be stuck falling asleep in a random spot that’s unsafe for mom and baby. I am planning on sleep training once he’s 5-6 months old (as that’s when babies learn how to self soothe) most likely trying the Ferber method 🤞🏽

I recommend checking out cosleepy on Instagram. Great resource on co-sleeping as well as safesleep7.

My LO is 15 months old (since week 3 - he only contact naps during the day and stay asleep at night on me chest) I tried so many tricks that I can possibly find and try for days, from swaddling, rubbing his chest, putting him tired and still awake, rocking, swing, wait until he’s asleep and slowly putting him into the crib/bassinet feet butt and head etc. I was so sleep deprived & gave in to chest sleeping & do it safely. Now we both sleep longer.

I highly recommend checking out @ cosleepy on Instagram. Awesome resource on co-sleeping as well as safesleep7.

Am I in the wrong?

So my MIL has been weird with me from day 1. My partner and I fell pregnant within months of seeing each other so we understood her reaction to me being pregnant was never going to be positive.

She then started going through a divorce when I hit the 12 week mark and we moved out, she didn’t reach out for a couple of weeks but we assumed she was just busy with lawyer stuff so didn’t pester. However weeks then turned into months etc. my partner would text his mum and she’d ignore the texts.

I was 8.5 months pregnant when she decided she wanted to come back. She apologised to us both directly for being absent my entire pregnancy and explained she was depressed, struggling etc. we decided to forgive her and let it go.

Our son was born August 2023 and the first year of his life she was present and a great grandmother to him, don’t get me wrong she was still “off” with me like whenever I would speak about my son she wouldn’t respond to me, she would come over and not really engage much with me, make snidely comments about me going back to work at 5 months PP despite the fact I’m providing for her son to be a stay at home dad etc but I just thought I’d be civil for my son. We got engaged in October 2023, she didn’t congratulate us.

January 2025 she started being VERY OFF. She deleted me off all social media’s for no reason, blocked my number. My partner asked why and she said she didn’t like me as a person. So I decided from then on if she wanted to see our son my partner would take him to her.

The rest of 2025, she was very inconsistent. We would ask her to take our son as she usually would and she’d say “can’t I’m dying my hair today” and silly excuses. We then had 4 miscarriages that year and not once did she send condolences or offer to support. It got to August, our sons bday and she got him 2 of the same gifts we did - she came to our house and I said aw it’s okay these things happen no big deal. Her mood changed and when my parents arrived my son got really excited and she left. She then text my partner that night saying my parents were rude to her and turning our son against her? 😂 he’s 2!!!!!

My partner had enough and had a go at her, saying no wonder my son was excited to see my parents when he sees them every 2 weeks. Since then she went in a mood and stopped speaking to us and visiting or allowing my partner to visit.

We fell pregnant in August 2025 and this baby has stuck. We shared our pregnancy with family and she hasn’t contacted us. From August to Feb 2026 she was radio silent, hasn’t asked for our sons at all. Ignoring texts.

Today, she has contacted my partner to try apologise and worm her way back in, I told my partner I’m having none of it and she won’t be seeing our son or new baby as she yet again has disappeared for over 6 months for no reason which isn’t fair on us or our son as he’s getting older and more aware!

Am I being reasonable? The way I see it is if this was a parent acting this inconsistent and being deadbeat they wouldn’t be allowed to run back in.

Marriage fizzled out

I never thought my marriage would fizzle out so soon. Could it be because we’re just recently married and it could be a small temporary bump in the road? I just feel like my husband changed and it’s getting worse. It feels like he doesn’t want me anymore. He’s leaving for 5 days and I thought we’d get to spend some time together at night but he rejected me. Thinking of going another week with feeling unwanted kills me now. Remembering the days he was crazy about me hurts. How could it have stopped so abruptly… Anyone with advice on what I can do? I already brought it up straight to him and he said he hasn’t noticed him being distant and I’m just left speechless because is he being for real or is just trying to shut the conversation down???

Alone

Welp. I expressed negative feelings to my husband and he responded with “I don’t feel comfortable talking when you’re angry”. Now we’re sleeping separately and I’m along for the night with the baby.
Trying not cry too loud- baby’s asleep (thank goodness). But I feel so unheard, so alone, so frustrated. My baby doesn’t like riding in the car, so I can’t even get out for a drive.
I’m a recovering stoner (over a year) and don’t want to turn to alcohol, so I’m alone with my thoughts and anxieties.
Feeling raw/vulnerable. May delete this later

Bi curious

I’ve been with my partner 3 years, when we have sec i always orgasm, he makes the effort to make sure I do, but it’s probably cause I’m always thinking about a woman 🤦🏻‍♀️ since having a our baby 8mo I feel it’s become less maybe once a week and more of a chore to him, I just don’t feel desired or wanted enough, feels laboured and boring, I buy sexy outfits, toys to spice things up, and never say no to his advances but they very few and far between, it’s mainly me making the moves, I do love him but I can’t get the thought of having sec with another woman out of my mind 😫 helppppp, UK W.Yorkshire
