Sleep failing

Every single day rock/feed to sleep at night transfer to crib asleep. Wakes up 45 mins later crying, Repeat until I finally succumb to hit the bed early and just co sleep. All I want is to have one nice stretch after bedtime without all the false starts so i can actually get something done. I'm following wake windows 2 nap schedule and last ww approx 4 hours. I'm tired of this going on for months now

Omg sameeee, I literally have her in my arms right now - it’s a delicate science to put her in the crib and within 1-3h (MAX and only if we’re lucky that day), she wakes up and then co sleep. Been doing it for weeks, it’s the only option now. For my munchkin, cribs = naps only. Even at night. I thought I was the only one with this very specific cute but annoying sleep situation.

My baby started doing 3 naps again of 30mins-1hr and its just so much and if she only do 2 naps she’ll wake up at 1-4am

I thought I was the only one with a baby who only napped for 20mins. I swear he can nap for 10 minutes sometimes. He power naps roughly every 1.5-2hrs. He also goes to sleep super late and still isn’t sleeping through the night. We cosleep as well.

My baby does 2 naps a day each of 1-1.5 hrs every 3.5 - 4 hrs and 3 hrs stretch before bed time. I put her to sleep while feeding or rocking and put her in the crib. She sleeps for 2-3 hrs and I wind up for bed meanwhile. She comes to bed and co sleeps after that.

She still wake up 3-4 times for a feed though. I just want her to sleep through the night or just wake up once a night. My friends daughter who is 1 month younger to my daughter wakes up only once in the night and she cosleeps too

You're not doing either of yourselves favors by putting yourself through this night after night. It's time to sleep train for everyone's health! There are lots of methods...find the right one for you and your family but don't put it off. You'll never regret it.

Did you know this was a thing?

Didn’t know this existed! I’m actually not breastfeeding 2nd time round (though wish I did) after a bad experience with my 1st baby. But this is something I 100% needed 1st time round.

Screeching baby

I have twin boys, 5months.

One is very quiet

The other... is like a pterodactyl who screeches when bored, tired, hungry, as soon as he wake up to be held etc...
This habit has only just started!

Has anyone else experienced this and how long did it last?
So far it has been about 5 days 😭😭😭😭

Circumcision, please help

I know it can be a really sensitive topic, but I feel really underinformed about whether I should choose to circumcise or not if we end up having a boy.
For context: we are very non-religious, but I worry about the stigma of being non-circumcised when he would start to get interested in dating, navigating cleaning it and the risk of infection especially as he gets older and navigating potty training at daycare and stuff. I also worry about the increased risk of penile cancer. But then I also hate the thought of making my baby go through a major surgery unnecessarily and would prefer for them to make the choice when they are older if they choose to get circumcised.

How did you make your choice? Does anyone regret their choice?

What would you do?

Our house is up for sale for 5 months, but hasn’t sold yet and we’re due our second baby in June. We have just reduced the price, can’t reduce down any lower without loosing money.

We live in a beautiful 2 bed house that we’re very comfortable in but just want the kids to have their own room.

Option A) leave it on the market with the hope it sells. Potentially could mean moving with a newborn and a toddler but then the kids shouldn’t have to share a room and once we’ve moved we’ll be settled for 10+ years

Option B) take it off the market, gives us time to nest/get ready for our daughters arrival and adapt as a family of 4. Kids can share a room once she is 6 months old (oldest will be 2 years) as the second bedroom is a large double. Get a conservatory which will create more space downstairs as we can move the dining room table. Relist the property approx January 2027 then hopefully find our next long term home afterwards
