Crying while sleeping.

Hello Everyone!
My 6-month-old son has been crying while sleeping. I am unsure what is happening. He cries and wakes himself up. I pick him up and he stops and basically falls asleep in my arms. It has been going on for over an hour. He is fed, burped and changed. The room temperature is good and he is not hot or cold. I am at a loss. If anyone has any ideas I would really appreciate it!

I'm having this right now with my guy. Suddenly woke screaming and could not calm him down. I know he's been showing strong signs of teething, so perhaps it's the same for your little one?

@Lindsay you're welcome!
My guy sleeps through the night usually, and he was up 3 or 4 times last night. He's all over his teether today. I feel terrible πŸ˜” hopefully those teefies for both the kids break through soon

Omg i thought i was the only one. Glad I’m not the only one. I’m exhausted. My babygirl has also been crying in her sleep. Hard to soothe. I thought it was baby dreams but what they possibly dream about? Lol which toy to put in their mouth tomorrow? Sorry no joking time lol then I automatically assumed teething but she has two since she was 5months and I don’t remember it like this at all. She’s been so tired cause she doesn’t sleep and I’m exhausted cause when it does happen the only way is like mentioned, her sleeping on me. πŸ€―πŸ€·πŸ»β€β™€οΈπŸ€¦πŸ»β€β™€οΈ the struggle for sleep is real over here too!

We got this though mommas. We go this! πŸ™πŸ»

I like to believe that if it's nightmares, it's because the booby milk ran dry πŸ˜…πŸ€¦β€β™€οΈ

nightmares did cross my mind. He did cry in his sleep once a few months ago, but I didn't think much of it because it. But it is slowly becoming a nightly thing and last night was the longest I have experienced. I am hoping tonight will be better.

We got this indeed!

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 😭😭😭😭

Joie Signature Parcel LX lightweight stroller

Has anyone got this stroller? Up until now we have used our mamas and papas ocarro and we love it. However we are going on holiday in June and looking at a lightweight stroller to take with us. I'm not bothered if it fits in overheard locker, I would rather have decent wheels on the stroller and this one does have slightly bigger wheels than most travel strollers we have seen. Has anyone used this stroller abroad or got any other recommendations? TIA x

How do you dry your 🐱?

Looking to settle a debate with husband, he is teaching our girls to dry themselves after they shower, i am teaching them to dry to a certain point on the inside but not between

Fighting naps

Does anybody else feel like they spend all day trying to get baby to nap? I get tempted to give up as he must not be that tired but he is too cranky to play or do anything else!
