What is going on?!…

So my newly turned 6 month old is giving us such a hard time going down to sleep for the night. Ever since her 4 month sleep regression was over she had been sleeping through the night. But the past 3 nights have been a nightmare. I am tired and so is my bf. We have tried so many things, she will fall asleep at the breast but when we change her into her crib she gives us such a hard time. And just to preface she’s been sleeping in her crib (in our room) since she was about 2-3 months old. Idk what to do at this point. We literally spend 1-1 1/2 hrs to put her down to sleep and then she’s up again at midnight and then again at 2. Two nights in a row she was up like every 20-30 mins in between and the hour. Help! Because this is honestly driving me crazy!

How many naps does she take during the day?

We found that we had to change her bedtime routine at this stage. We used to do bath, lotion/massage, pajamas, sleep sack, bottle and then bed, but we found that from when she got out of the bath until she went to bed she was just crying non stop. She then started waking constantly throughout the night so we've changed it so the bath is like 2 hours before bed and then we play until about 20 minutes before bed and then we do lotion/massage, pajamas, sleep sack, bottle, book and songs and then bed. She's gone back to sleeping through the night since we changed. Something about having the bath as the start of her routine was making her overtired until bedtime. We also brought her bedtime forward to 7pm 😊

This same thing happening with my 6 month old!

I’ve been dealing with the exact same thing for the past two months now, I feel like a dead woman walking, I don’t know what else to do other than let her cry and reassure but also trying not to pick her up. Last night after thirty mins of crying I managed to soothe her by patting her and rubbing her back, but I think my soul was destroyed by the end of it, I’m exhausted 😩

My 6 mo old doesn’t have trouble falling asleep, but staying asleep. And I’ve been dead for weeks!! Waking up 2-3x a night.. my other kids were sleeping through the night at 3-4 months.

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! 🤣🤡

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 :(

Struggling in the 4 month regression

How are people getting out of the 4 month regression? I’ve been looking it up and it says I need to be trying to put him down drowsy but awake but this does not work for my LO. Every time we do this he ends up being wide awake and after almost an hour of trying we have to contact nap/rock to sleep. I want to avoid rocking to sleep because now when he wakes up in the night he needs to be rocked back to sleep which he never used to need.

Nights are constantly broken because we are up 2-3 times to rock him back to sleep. Please give me your tips on how to survive this and how to get out of this!! Constantly feel like I’m failing and doing something wrong
