Waking/ partner rant

My lo has not been great for a few weeks now at night I’m currently sat in the front room holding her while she sleeps cause she will not settle and it’s been over an hour she’s not even really settled on me keeps jumping etc..so yeah that’s mum life no sleep tonight for me sitting on the sofa it is..
What’s annoying me the most is my partner telling her to shh cause she was moving in her cot and making noises she wasn’t crying or babbling just making little noises as she does when she’s trying to sleep. Like how is shh helping her it isn’t he’s laying in bed moaning cause he can’t sleep and has work etc but I’m the one up and trying to soothe her on my own I’m not going to have no sleep for the rest of the night just so he can sleep and then I’m looking after her all day on my own exhausted from lack of sleep for weeks!
I’m going back to work in three weeks and I just sit here and think I’m still going to have to do all this on my own even though I’ll be working..long working days with no sleep
He’s just really annoying me right now! It’s not even my lo it’s just his whole perception and lack of help.. he had a day off yesterday and he was the one who still slept in like he does every other week
Anyway rant over
Have a nice Sunday all 😊

Oooh I know the feeling, we had a bad night on Friday and my partner eventually helped at 4.30. Then he got to sleep in until 10am, when I was up at 7. Then last night he said he'd get up with her through the night. And then get up with her in the morning so I can lie in. He slept through all the wake ups and is still asleep while I've had 4 hours sleep. He'll wake up and say why didn't you wake me 🙄 but if I say anything I'm the bad guy 🤷‍♀️

Poop question

Hey mommas I’m a ftm and my babygirl hasn’t pooped in two days she’s formula feed and is 12 weeks old. I can tell she’s uncomfortable and I feel so bad. I’ve been doing belly rubs and bicycle kicks and all the things like that. Also gave her some gas drops and gripe water to relieve the gas but still no poop. Does anyone have any tips or tricks for me. Pic so we don’t get lost💕

Health Visitor Home Visit

Hii, could anyone explain what the health visitor does on their home visit?

Also if anyone had a home birth, what the midwife home risk assessment involves?

I’ve got 3 home visits coming up in the next two weeks (health visitor, midwives and doula) and it’s making me nervous for some reason. I think having 3 just feels like a lot and a bit invasive if that makes sense!

Who else is out there holding a baby thru the night so his noises dont wake up the house?!

I cant believe im still doing this at 15 months old!!!

My 2nd child is not just the noisiest sleeper but they have always been weird with breastfeeding

I think currently he is having some kinda developmental leap and growth spurt, eating and drinking like crazy and in the middle of the night if he wakes up , it takes ages to put back to sleep and he rolls around making sooooo much noise!!!

And i either have a low supply now OR he loves a fast flow and so he just jumps off the boob when it slows and complains loudly or just talks cutely but loudly! and i have to keep swapping boobs OR i have to get up and hold him and feed so gravity helps and the flow is faster and holding him means he eventually sleeps or at-least is feeding properly so is bloody quiet now! So at 1 am or 3am or often 5am onwards im holding n feeding until he wakes up 🥲🥲🥲

Any tips?

How’s everyone’s babies sleeping?

My little one is 19 weeks, she used to sleep through when we would put her to bed at around 10pm, she would sleep through until 6-7 am.
Now she gets so tired around 8 pm so we moved her bedtime here, but coming with this is 1-2 night feeds and she’ll be wide awake at 6 am, which I know is still amazing but I am currently as sick as a dog so hasn’t been the best for my flu 🤣.
I’m unsure whether this is the regression though as her naps are very scattered throughout the day with the max nap being 30 minutes through contact only.
Does this sound like the regression? When did your little one start sleeping through again if they ever did? Thanks in advance 🤗❤️

How are we entertaining our babies

What toys does everyone have for their 7 month old?
Nothing is satisfying my little girl she's got blocks, rattles, playmats loads more. She would much rather hold my hands and walk all day but I cant physically do that and whenever I put her down to play she just wont, is this just a faze?
