Anyone else’s 14month waking for hours during the night?

My little one has never been a good sleeper, but he finally started sleeping through for about a month solid, this past 2 weeks he’s waking for hours in the night, shortest being 3hrs! Everytime I lay him down in his cot he just screams! Any advice?

No advice just here to say same! We managed to get to 4.30am last night which was progress. I've given up now and every time this happens I just bring him in bed with me. Can't afford to be having no sleep now back at work x

Yeah last night was a little bit better for us with only screaming for 1.5hrs! He woke 4 times upto 4am! I was bringing him in my bed but don’t want him getting used to it so last night I didn’t, stayed in his room and just kept laying him down and patting his bum 😫x

12:30-3:00 my daughter was awake last night, seems to happen some nights and not others. I’m putting it down to teeth cutting through as she’svery upset during that time despite doing absolutley everything we can 🫠

I thought it was teething too as he’s cutting 4 through but he’s only upset when I lay him down in bed, so I’m not sure it is that as there not bothering him the day time or anything! I work night and feel like I’m never catching up on my sleep with how he’s sleeping as he’s also dropped a nap in the day 🤦🏼‍♀️ x

I think our littles could sense each other- we were the exact same time frame last night 🙈
Don’t think it’s teeth over here, think he’s just being clingy- pick him up and he’s back to sleep, put him down and he’s awake in minutes 🙈 x

Oh no my girl is screaming in my face despite cuddles/rocking/swaying/singi ng/calpol/milk everything! 🙈🙈

Oh no!! I’m so sorry- we’ve had nights like this too and there usually is teeth to blame. The worst so far has been the nights of 4 molars all cutting at the same time 😩

Mine just started this Tuesday and is not funny

When do things get easier?

As we entered the 9-12 month stage, my son started crawling and pulling himself up. He also became more clingy and does not play alone, still doesnt sleep through the night, and this week has been sick (so EVERYTHING amplified). I am tired and overwhelmed. Please lie and tell me things get better. 🥺

Colostrum storing?

Has anyone successfully extracted colostrum before the baby’s born? Apparently it gets produced from 16w pregnant and you can start storing it in the freezer but I’m 34w looking at my nipples and the syringes on amazon wondering how it works?? Like what did you use and did it hurt? 🥲

4 month bed time

What time do you put your babies to bed?
What time do you start your 'routine?'
My LO currently goes to bed around 10.30pm, and I know i need to start bringing it forward. Everytime ive tried, it takes longer for my LO to settle.
We are exclusively breastfeeding. Any advice Mamas?

Dummies🤦🏼‍♀️🤦🏼‍♀️🤦🏼‍♀️

Self settling

Any tips or advice of how to teach 6.5month old to self settle? I’m up multiple times in the night to cuddle her back to sleep and put the dummy in. I understand she will wake up and want a cuddle etc but any tips on self settling would be appreciated 🥰

Baby losing weight

Hi all, it's been a long time since I had a baby (my son is 15!). My daughter is 10 days old and was 9lb born, she has since lost weight at every appointment and is at a 12% loss. I am breast feeding every two hours for over an hour and topping her up every feed. I pump and can get 60ml in 10 minutes so I know my supply is okay. Anyone had this before? Can give me some tips? I currently feel like I'm letting my baby down.
