Leap 8?

Anyone still following the wonder weeks. We are in Leap 8 about 4 days and my child is actually unbearable, scream cries all the time, so unsettled, clingy, cranky and completely ignored me when I got in from work, smiled when I came to the door and then ignored me when I asked him to come over for a cuddle. His dad picked him up and he crashed in the car as he’s not sleeping at nursery and then when he got home he’s just screamed and cried until I got in and then as I said ignored me.

I’m hoping this phase is short lived, I mean he was never an easy baby, but he was certainly more tolerant a week ago 🙄😭

Nope found it useless after leap 4 really. He’s fussy when it says he shouldn’t be and not fussy when it says he should be 🤷🏼‍♀️

I've kept it because my little one has pretty much been like clockwork with it, it's also nice to tick off any developments she makes. My girl apparently has 12 days left of the fussy phase and she has been more fussy in this period but she's teething also, she doesn't really ignore me but when she's that way out, she'll be happy and playing one moment, then out of nowhere will cry and try to crawl up my legs until I pick her up which isn't like her, she's always been independent and not wanting to be picked up, we always say she's too busy to be picked up and call her "business baby"😂 I don't have issues picking her up obviously, love a cuddle but when you know it's not their usual behaviour.

Sleeping bag

8 week old in sleeping bag for first time as big enough! Do you feed your child in the night whilst in the sleeping bag or taken them out, feed then transfer back to sleeping bag before putting down?

Leaky nappy help

What nappies are you using to stop leaks?? We use pampers ultra dry size 5, and for the past few nights he has lashed through and we’ve had to completely change him during the night. Last night he leashed through twice!! He sleeps on his front and stays leaks through at the top of his leg where the tabs connect. Didn’t know whether to size up, he has a bit of a belly on him but he’s smack in middle of weight guidance so shouldn’t need too

My little one is struggling with sleep

Hey! I'm in need of some advice please girls! My little boy is 20 months turns 21 months in 2 half weeks. He use to sleep through the night now he is waking up every single night in the early morning, I've had to transition him to a toodler bed as he kept climbing out his cot. Just need some advice on what I can do to help him get back in to a sleep pattern?

6 month old autistism

My 6 month old makes no eye contact with me and doesn’t respond when I call him. Can this just be a phase or personality trait as apposed to autism

New born

Finally had my baby girl via C-section on the 18th, everything has been so far. But I’ve noticed she’s very fussy and cries a lot. I’ve been trying to exclusively breastfeed. The lactation consultant at the hospital said I did look like I’m making enough milk for her. She was latching on good at the hospital and now here at home, she doesn’t seem to want to latch at all. She’s been crying a lot and very fussy. I’m just wondering is she’s colic or like maybe she just doesn’t want the breast anymore?

5.30am wakeups 😫😴

My 15 week old has started waking up about 5.30am and is really hard to settle back down - it’s like he thinks it’s time to wake up for the day. He used to go to bed at 9pm and was up at 8am but now he goes to bed between 7.30-8pm as he’s knackered by then but waking up at 5.30am😴. Any advice to get him to sleep a little longer in the morning?! Even an extra hour would be lovely 🤣
