Longest sleep regression

Is anyone else going through the longest sleep regression ever! One night I can settle my Lb at 7.30 then the next 2/3 nights it’s like 9.30 -10.30? I’m actually exhausted now as it’s not like he then sleeps through! I’m worried as back to work soon and don’t know how I’ll function!

Same !!! We have started to sleep train as it’s just unbearable. Little bit is 10 months and a week.

it’s just horrendous. Both me and husband are exhausted. It’s nice to know it’s not just us 😂

Been about 2.5 months

When will it end 😴 I’m consistent with nap times too and feel like I’ve given up so much time to have a routine and for what? Dreading having to work if this is still going on.

My little one is 11months now and this been going on fir the last 2 months, and keeps getting worse 😢 he's pretty good to get to bed, but then he's waking every 1-2hrs and will only settle with a feed. He's breastfed so I'm up and down constantly. By the time I've fallen asleep, he's waking again 30 mins later 😭

Yes we are - we have decided to change things and stop allowing him to fall asleep on us for naps and bedtime and then transferring him to cot asleep. We put him in his cot and sit in his room and offer comfort through a little rub on the back or whatever - with the aim being to just sit there then eventually just lay him and kiss him good night before leaving - it’s only day 3 but we’ve already seen progress . I was worried about going back to work like you, so decided new year - new start . It’s hard as our little one was such a good sleeper until 8ish months. X

I know I actually read something that said, imagine if you fell asleep on your pillow and when you were asleep someone took it away . You’d be super annoyed and get up and look for it . It’s kinda how they feel when we are not there xx

Yep 😴

Yes! My little one has been doing this for the past 2 weeks. I'm exhausted. Hes 10months and 10 days old.

Yes it feels like it’s been this way for months and months. Honestly she slept better as a newborn I swear. Don’t know if it’s been multiple regressions, teething, colds etc back to back but Jesus I’m tired

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?
