Anyone else’s Lo struggling in the heat with sleep?

So since bedtime at 7:30 I think my lo has been awake more than she’s slept! Her room is 31c!

She’s in just a nappy, fan on but our house is so hot.

At one point her temp went up to 37.9c!

She’s fine in herself, drinking ect she’s just to hot to settle!

Any tips??

Same boat! Currently waking every hour or so just screaming and cannot settle again!!!

My little girl has had this problem it’s got to the point one night that I had to take her for a walk as it was so much cooler outside than it was where she was sleeping

Same here. This week our LO wakes every 20-30 mins and we’ve put it down to the heat. Our room is cooler so we’ve started him in his room but he ends up in bed with me and my partner goes in the spare room 🤦‍♀️

Yep my LB is waking and crying and difficult to settle!! It’ll cool down soon hopefully

Yes my LG is the same along with teething too 😩 i went to work the other day running on just 1 hour sleep as she just was up all night before all night 😭 a lot of caffine was had that day

Same!! I've been giving my 13 month old a bottle of milk at 3am to hydrate and settle him then he goes back to sleep... I'm only doing it during the heatwave then I will go back to no night feeds as before... I work full time so need my sleep aswell!!

Get a cool mat from the range or home bargains. My toddler has slept so much better on his the past two nights. 👍🏼

Yes!!! 4 wake ups in a couple of hours. Wishing us all luck for another hot night ahead of us! Xx

Yeah my daughter is same, currently awake has been waking up every 1-1.5h crying and going back to sleep but now I am struggling to put her back for a sleep I really that it will cool down any time soon xxx

Can someone pls help i keep making this post and nobody is responding

My boyfriend booked a trip for us to go to mexico for a week as my push present. I have severe anxiety leaving my 7 month old with my mom. I know she will be in good hands but she’s exclusively breast fed for the most part but accepts bottles just fine. i have all my pumping parts packed and will pump when baby normally eats but i don’t want baby to forget me or have latch issues when i return!! any mommas ever experience this?

Postpartum

I’m only 3 days postpartum (FTM) and already have extremely bad anxiety. I’m crying every night, as I think of another night of no sleep. My baby will not settle in his cot, he cries every moment we put him down unless in his chair rocker. So me and my partner are having to alternate after 3/4 hours of being awake with him downstairs. I’m trying everything to get him to settle. It’s a load of overwhelming stress. I’m 23, I was desperate for a baby and now I have one and feel completely useless. I miss it just being me and my partner.

When does it get better?

I was crying on the phone with the perinatal mental health team today and the lovely lady, bless her, kept assuring me that it gets better. I kept telling her I hope so because people have been saying that since having my LO and it just feels like it keeps getting worse. She assured me it gets better....

Night time routine

Heya, my 3 week old daughter is currently exclusively breastfed and I’m not pumping. Can anyone recommend the best way to share the load with my partner? At the moment I’m doing all the feeds/burbs/settling and my partner is sleeping through which obviously isn’t sustainable, I’m trying to work out the best way to get him involved. Any advice very much appreciated!

Rapid cool/ hot shot method

Sorry if this sound stupid but how are we doing the hot shot method?
Are we boiling the kettle and letting it cool a little before adding to hot flask? Then with the cool water do you boil the kettle and leave it to cool right down before putting into another flask?
My baby brain is fried trying to work out the easiest way!

Rant/WWYD

My sister (youngest, 24) has two kids, 4 & 1, and i (oldest, 30) just have my one who’s 6mo old right now, so i ask her for advice or call her to vent about things sometimes. Well im tired of her turning around and telling my other family members that I’m “losing my sh*t.” Literally have not lost my sh*t nor have i ever freaked out to her about my baby, i just call her to talk and tell her what stage my baby is in or talk through how im feeling, but she chooses to tell people that im like a complete nutcase or something which worries me that my family is going to start being judgmental about me as a mother or looking at me funny like I’m some fragile ticking time bomb.

What would you do in this situation? I’m already pretty much decided that I’ll stop telling her anything about my struggles, but I’m almost at the point where i feel like it should be confronted because she, of all people, should understand what I’m going through.
