Sleep

My baby went from sleeping all night to waking every hour or even every 30 mins. I feel like im going crazy!!!! I don’t understand what I’m doing wrong because he used to sleep through the night in his cot. Now, hes awake so often and wants to he pushed in his pram otherwise hes just awake all night. Probably has something to do with the fact that he had bronchiolitis for about 2 weeks and we was in hospital a lot but honestly I’m just so exhausted. With the hospital trips and stays for the past 2 weeks and him now not sleeping that hes better i just feel like a zombie;/

I’m currently going through this too!
For the last 5 nights my little one is awake every half hour/ hour the only way I can get her to sleep is on my chest in my bed then when I go to put her back in hers she wakes up !
And we also are going through a clingy stage !!
There is a 8 month sleep regression so I’m wondering if we have hit that !

Keep in there mumma your doing a great job 💕

There is an 8 month regression and I've noticed from alot of posts it seems to be triggered when a baby has been poorly, ours has been going on about 3 weeks now at first it was really bad sleep through the night, waking every hour that lasted for about a week, then her naps became affected so she would normally nap for 1.5hrs 2x a day now she's napping for 40 mins max but she's back to sleeping all night, still a little hard to settle but slowly getting back to normal

Baby clothes

Just out of curiosity, why do parents love zipper onesies?

Don’t get me wrong, I tried zipper ones it’s easy to zip in and out when putting it on the first time and taking it out, but I find it difficult when changing diapers especially when baby is asleep.

I prefer those kimono style buttons where it’s easy to button or too down button with crotch snaps.

Is everyone thinking the same or different? Lol

At this point I’m not enjoying motherhood

My 22 month old is horrendous at the moment🫣 biting, hitting, pushing, pulling and shoving not only adults but children he also wants what other children have and will just snatch it away from them.

We repeat ‘nice hands’ ‘be gentle’ ‘let’s share’ etc

But how do I make him understand what he’s doing isn’t very nice? At the end of the day I feel like I’ve just been saying his name all day and nothing else.

What can I do?

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.

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?
