4 month sleep regression?

I’m just wondering if anyone else’s LO is going through the same thing at the moment and if it could be the start of a 4 month sleep regression or if she could be slightly poorly.
My LG has just turn 13 weeks, always been a good sleeper, going down 7.30/8 - 8am with 1 or 2 feeds in the night. Last night she wouldn’t sleep until 10pm, but also kept on bringing up her milk, so much I had to change her bed sheets and vest as they were soaked. When she woke about 6ish for a feed she was wide awake for 2 hours, and still bringing up loads of milk again but then slept until midday… could this be the sleep regression? I’m just confused 😂

With my first the 4m regression was the absolute worst. But it was coupled with leap 4, teething and change from breast to formula. I’m hoping it goes easier this time around!

Things that helped the first time:
- breaks (absolutely necessary for you!)
- if you have a swing/rocker use it. Used to be the only thing that would get me more than 30mins break
- your body/arms will get tired and sore as you pace/rock/shush/cuddle and hold bubs.
- try to give yourself some acceptance that you won’t be able to get everything you want done, when you want it done (not so much help with baby but is still important!)
- I also invested in a red night light that is sound activated so he cried it would come on and soothe him
- lots and lots of distractions and white/pink/brown noise.

As hard as it is and as long as it seems it won’t last forever! You’re amazing Mamas and you can get through this ❤️

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 🙂

Car seat crying

My 6 month old PANICS the second I put him in a car seat and screams, cries, chokes and recently even projectile vomited on a 14 minute drive. It’s gotten to the point I don’t even bring him out unless it’s to a doctors appointment. I’m a stay at home mom with no family in my state and it has been very isolating. We’ve tried 3 different car seats with no improvement. Has anyone had a baby who hated the car seat? Any advice? This started at 3 months. I will add it does seem worse when he’s tired. He does cry on every trip though. He only contact naps and co sleeps so he reaches for me and will not sleep in the car seat.

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?

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.

When did you circumcise your baby?
If you DID NOT or DO NOT have a circumcised son DO NOT comment this post is not for you!

Did you wait a certain amount of time or have it done immediately?
Again respectfully, this is only for the parents who choose to do so.
opinions about how not necessary it is will not be appropriate for this post. Thank you in advance. 🩵
