I’ve no idea, but I’m right there with you! I feel like a zombie a lot of the time

We had this when she was having 2 hour feeds it lasted few weeks 🫣

Mine wasn't a great sleeper to start with but has now gone to a 2-3 hour stretch first part of the night then up every hour 😫

Just gone through this ❤️🥲went from sleeping through to them up every hour or so and couldn't get him back to sleep. It lasted a week and now he's back to how he was before

He wakes up every hour 😭😭this mumma is exhausted!
I wonder how long it'll last as well🥹

Nooooo I’m dreading this! She’s 14 weeks so it’s coming soon 🫣

Mine is 15 weeks tomorrow, we have had this for the past week now 😴😴 I just get scared I’ll never sleep again😂

My baby is 14 weeks but for the last week her sleep has been awful. Up every hour. Sometimes she does two. Sometimes less than an hour. I’m hoping it’s the regression come early bc idk if I can hack it getting worse.

same! And 25 min naps 🥲

oh gosh! Does it take you am hour to put your LO to sleep? It takes me forever! Most of my day goes on trying to feed him and make him nap 😂

yep, I’m sitting here right now holding him after trying and failing to put him down for a nap for the past 40 mins! He has been sooo good at naps over recent weeks, I was so confident with it! And now with the regression, it’s anyone’s guess as to when he might ever sleep 🙃🤣

you're not alone, it's just taken me 3 hours to put him to bed for the night 🥴

Gosh...same. Takes so long 😩and now he won't sleep without contact napping. He was slowly figuring out how to do at least day naps by himself ( although takes an hour), but now it looks like we are back to square one 😭haven't had sleep or food in a while 😂
I wonder what we could do to hasten the process of them sleeping independently through whatever regression this is?

Help

My LO every feed. Drs don’t seem to think it’s a problem the whole Muslim cloth gets soaked so much I’m using towels now. I’ve tried size O teats he gets really frustrated and still spills it out :(

Dummy

My baby has had a dummy since about 2 weeks old (now 5 months) and over the course of the last month we weaned her off it during the day only for naps and night (which was fine) and then 5 days took it completely away during the day.

The first day no dummy was fine, the second bit rougher. But now it feels impossible she just moans and cries all the time it takes ages for her to go down to sleep (she’s always been an amazing sleeper)

I thought it was meant to get better as time went on not worse. I’m at my wits end I dunno what to do.

Currently typing this as she screams uncontrollably in the car and I cry with her cos I can’t do anything.

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.

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? 😅

Is this normal?

My 12m old is really funny with kids going near him, he’s always been this way, but anytime family’s kids sit next to him or head his way he moans or cries and moves away. He also really observes them and is never really relaxed, always looking over his shoulder. Has anyone experienced this? (He’s starting nursery properly tomorrow so hoping this helps) but is this normal?

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.
