Teeth? My little girl started wanting her dummy in the day as she was teething and chewing it. Teethers only workers for so long and she wanted it back. I give it to her whenever she wanted during that time. Seems to have settled again and only using really for naps and bedtime. But if I know she's teething and it helps I give when needed.
Also found she'd hardly take bottles when she was teething aswell, I think the sucking was hurting her gums, after a dose of calpol she took bottle then

I just tried the glass trick and honestly couldn't see much cause she kept licking the glass lol any Ideas on how to check

I know a lot of 6 months old that go through a clingy and fussy phase when about to turn 6 months my baby had a phase of not wanting to eat and some days are clingier than others but they pass I think they go through grow spurts and phases as their turning older

Sometimes he wants me to cuddle him sometimes he doesn’t want me to carry him 😂 it’s so confusing each day is different todsy he kept eating 7 ounces yesterday he would only wanna eat 4-5

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 :(

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

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
