Yup. Going through this. At 4am my LO decided it's wake up time and because I didn't give in he screamed and cried till I went downstairs with him. It's exhausting!

I think it's this leap. It's really really hard.. I could write a list of things that are rather challenging 🙄🙄

Yes exactly the same now. Crying a lot and screaming….waking at night too. And repositioning wanting to crawl on bed . Very exhausting

Yes going through the same.Really hard

Yes. Tantrum after tantrum. And waking up at night too.

my little boy keeps waking up at 5am screaming until I get him up! It’s so tiring x

I had read this was a leap a while ago at around 10 months I’m sure I didn’t know it was to happen again oh my god 🫠

tantrum is not the word it’s so bad! It’s constant all day and night at the moment I don’t know why it’s so hard or bad.

I hope it ends for us all soon x

my little girls the same! she’s also incredibly clingy and it’s making me just cry constantly, it doesn’t help that i’m 37 weeks pregnant and in absolute agony 🙁

So far today it’s because I was doing my makeup and wouldn’t give her the brush I was using. I gave her a different one but that was not good enough.

My 12 month old is exactly the same I also have 3 others to function for and honestly it’s exhausting. X

I was literally about to post asking because l am just drained

I am going through this at the moment!!! It’s horrible! Xx

oh no!! Hope it blows over for you. It’s so tough, isn’t it. I’m coming up to 28 weeks, hormones everywhere it doesn’t help at all x

it’s literally At every little thing I started to become concerned
The screaming just goes straight through me 😢

oh no, did you experience this with all of them, seems to be an age thing from all the responses xx

my eldest who is 15 now was the same from what I remember.
The difference being I actually Co slept with the other 3 because I believe they started doing the same thing at this age 🙈 however I’m not giving in this time . He sleeps in his own cot but he’s in my room as don’t have enough bedrooms for him to be in own room unfortunately!
I have heard putting them in their own room can help as I think we can also disturb their sleep. He however screams in day too and through night
My others grew out of it so theirs light at end of tunnel.
I hope it eases for you soon I honestly feel for u it’s so draining but your not alone xx

oh no really! Yes I found when I put my little boy in his own room he was much better . But i do think the screaming is an age thing right now by the seems of it 😫 xx

fingers crossed they come out if this faze soon it really is torturous listening to it 🥴🩷

Omgg I could of wrote this! My little boy has been a nightmare recently! He’s constant winging crying all the time and also has started waking in the night I’ve had 2-3-5am wake up calls the past 5 days and last night was 1:40🙃 doesn’t help he has a cold at the moment but he is just savage at the moment🙃😂

Wdy think of this for a toddler to learn word construction?

I'm open to anything else to start teaching him to read and write. He's 3!

Do men really enjoy fellatio?

Been together more than 10 years, but it's been a while since he even seemed remotely interested in me getting on my knees, or vice versa so to speak. I think it was once last year. Must be something I am doing wrong 🤔. Generally everything else in that department is great and we have two young kids with no extra support, so it's quite surprising we can't keep our hands off each other but may need to try new things. It's basically 2 positions each time with some foreplay.

Naps

How is everyone doing for naps?

Little one is 9 months old and will have 2 half hour naps and one solid 1 hour - 2 hour nap a day

Then settles for night around 9pm. Wakes for a feed around 3:30 then sleeps until 6-7

Vanilla extract

Has anyone used alcohol free vanilla in their babies formal to help them drink?
I’m 100% sure my baby refuses her bottles as she doesn’t like the taste of it!

Just anxious to try it, don’t want her to get used to it and then refuse bottles again after two weeks of using (correct me if I’m wrong but I’ve read you use it for 2 weeks max)

TIA 🙂

Pumping advise

FTM to a 2 week old! I’m breastfeeding and then giving one formula bottle last in the evening before bed. I want to start expressing milk to give me some breathing room and also allow my partner to be more involved in feeding. I’m finding the idea of introducing pumping into my day quite overwhelming though. I don’t want to take milk away from my baby by pumping if he needs it during the day when being breastfeed.

Can anyone advise how I start pumping and when to do it? Thank you!

Sex post C section

Hi ladies I’m 4 weeks 5 days postpartum and I had a C section. I’m not bleeding properly anymore just some brownish discharge stuff that starts on and off. I’d like to do the deed with my partner; is it okay to do so or shall I wait the full 6 weeks. I feel up for it but also worried because the advice is 6-8 weeks.
