Baby needing a bottle for comfort

My daught for the last month has started waking up between 1-3 again. I know she’s not hungry because she’ll drink an ounce just to fall asleep but then is up at 5. No amount of rocking will put her back to sleep. I should also note she’s still in my room because she is going to have to share a room with her older sister but I can’t move her to her room until she’s sleeping through the night consistently again. I’m at my wits ends. I feel like we’ve tried everything

Could be sleep regression with lo learning something new? So many possibilities. My poor girl woke up because she is a side sleeper and rolled too far onto her belly. She forgets she can roll back over.

o thought it was a sleep regression at first too but it’s been 3 months

Maybe time to adjust naps? Or her bedtime?

we’ve tried going down to two naps. And going to bed an hour later. Nothing. It’s hard because I have two school aged kids I need to pick up at 1:30 so right now morning nap is 45 minutes if I’m lucky. She sleeps better with contact naps but is also clingy so I can do anything durning the day. She’s been up so early she’s ready for a nap at 8 but I can usually push it until 9. She’ll sleep for 45 minutes on me on a good day then we’re up for three but by that point I have to get kids and do afternoon running around with sports. And she hates the car so she screams the whole time then too. So by 7 she’s ready for bed. I feel like I just can’t win and I’m exhausted.

My husband is law enforcement working nights so as much as he tries he can’t help much because he sleeps durning the day.

There are literally soooo many possibilities on what could be going on just try to adjust one or 2 things a night and see what happens like temperature of room. How much she eats. If she’s still in a sleep sac or not the humidity in the room noise. Light. Literally everything I’m sure something will help

8 week immunisations

My 8 week old has his first set of injections tomorrow and I’m abit nervous. Does anyone have any advice for after the jabs? I know they get a temp after so have got some calpol to give just before hand. Should I put him to bed in less clothing to make sure he doesn’t get too hot? Any tips from your experience with first set of immunisations? Am I worrying more than I need to? 😅

11 month old constantly standing in cot

Please tell me someone has some advice for this cause wow it’s trying. My almost 11 month old is fully on the move now and his new favourite thing is repeatedly pulling to stand in his cot. The problem is that he wears a sleep sack (mainly so his legs don’t get stuck between the bars tbh lol) so he’s not stable enough to lower himself down. So earlier he fell backwards and hit is head and now we feel like we can’t just leave him to it. Typically it’s his first full day at nursery tomorrow and my first day back at work IT’S LIKE HE KNOWS!!
Please tell me someone has some tips. Currently we are quietly placing him back on his back every time but he just keeps doing it! 🤣🤡

My seven year old

Is out of control. Her dad and I share 50/50 and when she comes to my house she is so mean. And idk what to do

Took 9 week old to a family party where there was loud music and she was next to the speaker for most of the time (about 3 hours). She slept through most of it. Do you think she has hearing loss from this?

Freaking out right now :(

Struggling in the 4 month regression

How are people getting out of the 4 month regression? I’ve been looking it up and it says I need to be trying to put him down drowsy but awake but this does not work for my LO. Every time we do this he ends up being wide awake and after almost an hour of trying we have to contact nap/rock to sleep. I want to avoid rocking to sleep because now when he wakes up in the night he needs to be rocked back to sleep which he never used to need.

Nights are constantly broken because we are up 2-3 times to rock him back to sleep. Please give me your tips on how to survive this and how to get out of this!! Constantly feel like I’m failing and doing something wrong
