9 week old suddenly unsettled

My 9 week old has suddenly started non stop crying and is so unsettled. He’s constantly rooting or wanting to feed which I guess is for comfort and if he’s not on me feeding then he’s crying the majority of the time. He does fall asleep on me after feeding but doesn’t stay asleep long at all. He had his first jabs last Thursday and this started yesterday so I don’t think it’s linked but I’m at a loss as to why he’s just started being like this. Could it be a growth spurt at 9 weeks?

This is exactly what my little girl is doing. She had her jabs last wed, I think she's got an upset stomach post Jab as calpol is the only thing that's made her sleep better( recommended by doctor). I hoping she goes back to normal soon. Shes not even having it by having my husband hold her! Let me know if you find a way round this !

My 10 week old has been exactly the same the last 2 days (not had jabs yet as was in hospital poorly and told to postpone them so I know it's not that for us)
He'll fall asleep feeding and when I try and transfer into the cot no matter how smooth I do it he startles awake!

My 9 week old boy is the same!!! I cant do it tho my nipples are in so much pain 😫 I've got cuts and soreness from incorrect latching (working on fixing it) but I dread feeding all day but he is fussy and also never seems to be settled

My LO every feed. Drs don’t seem to think it’s a problem the whole Muslim cloth gets soaked so much I’m using towels now. I’ve tried size O teats he gets really frustrated and still spills it out :(

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 :(

Bedtime

What time are you getting your LOs down for the night now and how are you finding bedtime? We’ve had the sane routine since my daughter was a few weeks old - bath with her older sister and 6.45, followed by a bottle and ideally in bed by 7.30. This worked at first but over the last few weeks she’s been fighting it a lot and, with the exception of a few days last week which were a lot easier, it’s a bit of a battle to get her down and features a lot of screaming and resettling. Not sure if we are putting her down too early or late? Her last nap is usually a cat nap (30-45 mins) and finishes by 6. She’s pretty good at settling herself from a night feed, but seems to be unable to do it at bedtime, even with her dummy.
