Anybody else’s baby wake up around 3am and don’t go back to sleep till like half 5 or half 6?

Been a rough night with little one tonight. She woke up at half 3, she drank over 5oz and starts to fall asleep but as soon as I put her down in next to me she becomes wide awake again, then hiccups kept her up, tried to sooth her to sleep no luck, went on about 2 hours to the point she’s hungry again, she took another 3oz by half 6 when’s she’s finished it she finally sleeps.. I’m so shattered don’t know what to do anymore! I tried giving her more milk at the last feed of the night but she still wakes up at the 3am point 😩

How old is she? My little boy did this initially and would be awake for hours at night feeds but recently he grumbles, quick change and feeds in about 10-12m (bf)
I feel your pain with transferring to next to me! I’ve never mastered it and 9 outta 10 times he’ll wake up 😂

Same here pretty much most nights! My LO does a good stretch of sleep initially (most of the time) normally 4-6 hours then is really hard to settle after a feed. Lots of fidgeting and grumbling and general fussiness. Also have a next to me which I find it difficult to transfer to 😅 you aren’t alone! Xx

If it helps with the hiccups I find feeding baby again for a short time helps get rid of the hiccups. May have been them keeping baby up so just an idea. Xx

Also find my baby gets hiccups when I try put her down too soon after a feed, it’s like the milk hasn’t had time to settle yet in her tummy so try keep baby upright for longer and get good burp out if u can x

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.
