Trick or treat sleep 😂

Anyone think they’ve cracked the whole nighttime sleep malarkey and then get a really shitty sleep with their baby? 😂 feel like it’s one step forward and a million back!
He’s lucky he’s cute…

There's no way to have a routine yet, they're just too little, just take each day as it comes. Try and lower your expectations a bit and go with the flow. Plenty of time for routine when they've got their natural rhythms now established.

Glad I'm not the only one who feels like this. Start to feel that there is a little routine going with my little girl, then as you said it feels like a million steps back. Keeps me awake and then gives me a cheeky smile that melts my heart 🤣

This was us the other night. I got excited because he dropped his middle of the night feed so we went through 10pm to 5am! The next night, he wouldn't go down til 12am and then woke every hour til morning 😅 serves me right for getting my hopes up 😆 if it helps at all, we've now gone back to waking every 2/3 hours, hope is not lost! Cute cute baby btw ❤️

We’ve had a very fortunate run for about three weeks but I’m with you! Also the dreaded teething is getting closer and closer!

Had this yesturday! Had a rubbish night and then most of the day he was an absolute nightmare. I actually said to my friend I can't stay frustrated because he'll randomly do the cutest face and all is forgotten 🤣

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? 😅

Signs of Neurodivergent Toddler

Any moms of neurodivergent toddlers who could help me out? My son is 13 months old. I know that is technically too early for a diagnosis, but I have a gut feeling that he is on the autism spectrum.

The main sign he shows is hand leading. He does not point at all, and instead will take my hand and lead me anywhere he wants to go,
getting very frustrated if I do not follow.

He is also extremely sensitive to being touched, especially when it comes to hats and putting clothes on. He won’t let anything touch his head or face and I have to fight him to brush his teeth, comb his hair, etc.

He’s very interested in things that aren’t toys and will repeat the same behavior over and over. He can go in and out of doors or walk up and down stairs for hours. He loves taking things out of containers and putting the back in repeatedly.

We recently took him on his first vacation and he REALLY struggled with the change. He struggles with any type of transition or change in routine.

He laughs, makes eye contact, mostly responds to his name, but doesn’t do any other gestures.

Normal toddler behavior or signs of ASD? Let me know your thoughts!

Of these two, which seems more overall “demanding” to you, overall? Lighthearted poll, not putting anyone down 🫶🏼

As a mum who breastfed for 3 years, I think formula feeding seems 100x harder and more demanding. I give those mamas all the credit because I could not keep up with that faff haha. I truly don’t understand why people say breastfeeding is more effort, other than the fact that no one else can do it. But personally I’d take that over endless bottle prep & cleaning.

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! 🤣🤡
