Interrupted sleep!

After how long of interrupted sleep started to affect you? I can’t say I don’t sleep, but I haven’t slept well since she was born. My baby is 8 months old and she has never slept through the night.
I’m starting to feel all the feelings. We never took shifts with my partner, and I’m starting to feel resentful… 😩

I'm starting to feel resentful too, my partner can't do nights because they are on a medication that causes extreme drowsiness :( my baby is about to turn 8 months and I'm seeing a sleep consultant in a few days to advise in gentle sleep training to get him to sleep through the night 😅 I need to get my sleep back at this point

I still feel tired now and my LG is 14 months only recently started sleeping through the night for the last few week.

I get the resentful feeling as my other half never got up with our lg. I just tried my best but the lack of sleep is definitely a killer especially with going to work as well.

I still listen out for her as I keep expecting her to wake up. She moves around a lot.

I hope you get some sleep soon and your little one sleeps through x

My Lgs sleep got worse around 10 months when she was unwell she always woke once but started to be 2/3 times and sometimes up for hours. At 14 months we did sleep training and after 3 nights she has slept all night.
Do what is best and works for you.
You are not alone.
You are a strong mumma x

Help! First time mum -

I have a 4 month old and now all of a sudden when he’s been asleep for 1hr30/2hrs he will wake up screaming (high pitched) I’ve tried winding him sometimes that helps, I’ve tried bicycle legs & bringing his knees up but that doesn’t seem to help but he brings his knees up himself sometimes but nothing happens. I’ve noticed since the 4 month mark he has started to struggle passing wind downwards! Any tips?

Bath Time

Help! My baby is 3 and a half weeks old. Every bath she goes in quite happy but will only stay like this for a very few mins, if I try to clean her or move her we have tears and after a few mins the same. It's like she is scared. Our current baby bath is quite big should I try a different one? Looking for any suggestions as want her to enjoy bath time not be upset and I'm scared I'm going to make her hate it😢💗

Big nursing bras!

I’m looking for recommendations for good nursing bras for bigger breasted ladies!

I’m currently in a 38H which seems to be the biggest size done at M&S (UK based mama here) and it’s snug and not as supportive as I’d like. When I look online, they mainly seem to be sized S, M, L, XL etc rather than bra sizes.

Any recommendations please?

Crying during feeding

Hey mams! My girl is 6 weeks on Monday and is having so much trouble with feeding. It doesn’t happen every feed but more often than not she will start a bottle and just start crying as if she’s in pain and she can’t take the milk. I think it’s trapped wind but I genuinely don’t know what to do it’s so pitiful to see her not be able to feed! She’s formula fed and on HiPP Organic.
Anyone else been in this position? I’m pretty sure it’s just a bit of trapped wind that she needs to fart out but can’t! If anyone has any advice I’d be very grateful as I think I may need to tape my eyelids open soon 😂
