Crying baby

Guys, my little man is about to turn 4 months old on the 10th. This week he will not let me put him down. He will not go to sleep on his own. He just screams and screams. If I try to hold him he pushes me away, he won’t take the pacifier or breast, nothing will calm him.

He is not normally like this. He has slept 9+ hours through the night since he was born, loves independent play. He could literally lay there and kick his feet by himself for hours if I let him.
I don’t know what to do

Also, what are y’all doing for the hair loss because I’m losing soooo much hair

he’s teething !!!!!!!! my baby girl is 4 months and she’s been acting the same!! i have to be holding her 24/7 AND have to be standing up otherwise she won’t stop crying. he could also be having a 4 month sleep regression. my advice would be to see if he will take teething toys especially the mit one that you just put on their hand. my baby girl loves it. and im also loosing so much hair😭

Same hereeeee and I’m losing my edges

Sometimes it just helps to know that we are not alone!!
I can relate to every point of this post!
My girl is 4 months this coming Tuesday and she has been incredibly fussy and won’t let me set her down to do anything.
Normally a good sleeper, but she has been waking up every hour or so. Just wide awake and alert. It takes me over 30 minutes to get her back down. Needless to say, I need that GOOD concealer.
I will agree with - those silicone teethers that go over their hands have been a lifesaver.

Probably that 4 month sleep regression

Awe 4 month sleep regression I'm guessing.

For the hair loss the baby blues postpartum hair loss vitamins are 👌🏼 otherwise being gentle on it and low traction hair styles. Silk pillowcases and silk scrunchies only.

Family culture difference on money

Sorry this is long, I hope some of you get to the end and give advice!!!

So I’m a very thrifty person, things are tight at the moment, the cost of living crisis and my house is heated by oil so things are extortionate. We aren’t on the bread line but we aren’t flush, hubby might be made redundant so there is some financial pressure.

Sometimes I buy my sons something nicer, on the justification that I can sell it on after (♥️ vinted ♥️). I have also been planning on pretty much breaking even most of the baby things I bought from face book market place, side by crib, baby changing unit, etc.

Hubby and I have different money cultures with our families (he’s Indian, I’m British). I’m my family we don’t mix money, we would help each other out if someone was in trouble and will get each other gifts on special occasions. With hubby’s family money is much more fluid, they will give each other things worth thousands of £ just because.

Hubby’s brother bought him a new laptop and a new Google phone, he’s been very generous to hubby. Hubby hasn’t given the same back because brother is much richer.

Hubby and I mostly share finances. If it’s relevant I’m the higher earner.

Now to the point! My babies are so cute they’ve given hubby’s brother (currently single) baby rabies. He’s asked for our baby stuff when we’re done with it. He’s been so generous to hubby I feel really stingy saying no. But I’d never have bought some of the stuff if I wasn’t going to get a return on it - the thought makes me a bit anxious. If we gave all our baby stuff given the second hand value it still wouldn’t equal what the brother had given hubby.

I thought maybe I could give him some stuff but sell some stuff, but hubby said then his brother will just have to go out and buy that stuff, so I should name my price and ask his brother for the money. That makes me feel very uncomfortable, given how generous the brother has been to hubby.

So what do I do ladies? Give it all and suck it up? Give part of it and sell parts on Vinted/FB, or ask hubbys brother for money for it and be uncomfortable? Or do you see another solution?

No one is being entitled or rude here, just a culture difference I need to navigate.

Advice

Hi everyone! I honestly have 0 social queues when it comes to talking to anyone in general. I definitely have a hard time talking to other women and making new friends. I can 100% relate. I just don’t like the idea of texting or meeting up but when I do I’m like “oh this isn’t bad.” Any advice? I also have a hard time getting comfortable and just feeling judged by other women😅 I’m also 19 so maybe making a change in this now will help in the future making mom friends/friends in general. Thanks in advance!

Looking for more same age friends!!

Hi! I’m 23 and a stay at home (soon to be) mom. I have been having a tough time finding friends/women in similar circumstances to mine and would love to make some if possible! If you feel the same, let me know

Am I the only one that thinks blowjobs are boring?

Hi Mums

I live in New Zealand and I’m really keen on finding a regular best friend to chat with. It’s incredibly lonely. I love Australia and I think it would be fantastic to have friends there. If you’re comfortable with long-distance friendships we could meet up in New Zealand. I also want someone to video call because I currently have no friends every single day. I feel really lonely because I don’t have a nice family. I just want friends to become family one day and of course I need to trust them first which is why I’m making this post. I just got married 🥹👰❤️

My relationship is failing I feel so alone.. I need a girlfriend to talk to :(

I'm a sahm and I feel so stuck... anyone going through the same thing? I could really use someone to relate to and talk through this with. Feeling so vulnerable but if I don't I won't be able to pull myself out of this
