3 year old won't sleep

Previous to the past week or so she has slept in her room and fallen asleep no problem and stayed asleep all night - now when we put her bed with her tv on she goes up fine and wants to go up then 20 mins later screams the entire house down and refuses to go to sleep without me or my husband with her or either wants to sleep in our bed - she's screaming and coughing that much sometimes we are scared of her becoming ill because of it because she sometimes throws up the more she screams - we are at a total loss of what to do now as everything we tried to get her to fall asleep on her own just isn't working we've even tried to bribe her and says if she sleeps in her bed tonight we will get her a toy - she did it for the first time when we said that and she got a doll house the next day - now she just says I've got enough toys downstairs now thankyou so not interested - anyone else gone through this and any advice or help please

Do you mean she has a TV in her room? And you buy her toys as bribery? Not being funny but those things are not going to
Help. I guess at her age it’s just a case of having to let her have a paddy if she can’t have what she wants. My three year old is very tricky at bed time. Sometimes I have to just leave her to it. She gets the message after a while.

Poop question

Hey mommas I’m a ftm and my babygirl hasn’t pooped in two days she’s formula feed and is 12 weeks old. I can tell she’s uncomfortable and I feel so bad. I’ve been doing belly rubs and bicycle kicks and all the things like that. Also gave her some gas drops and gripe water to relieve the gas but still no poop. Does anyone have any tips or tricks for me. Pic so we don’t get lost💕

Health Visitor Home Visit

Hii, could anyone explain what the health visitor does on their home visit?

Also if anyone had a home birth, what the midwife home risk assessment involves?

I’ve got 3 home visits coming up in the next two weeks (health visitor, midwives and doula) and it’s making me nervous for some reason. I think having 3 just feels like a lot and a bit invasive if that makes sense!

Who else is out there holding a baby thru the night so his noises dont wake up the house?!

I cant believe im still doing this at 15 months old!!!

My 2nd child is not just the noisiest sleeper but they have always been weird with breastfeeding

I think currently he is having some kinda developmental leap and growth spurt, eating and drinking like crazy and in the middle of the night if he wakes up , it takes ages to put back to sleep and he rolls around making sooooo much noise!!!

And i either have a low supply now OR he loves a fast flow and so he just jumps off the boob when it slows and complains loudly or just talks cutely but loudly! and i have to keep swapping boobs OR i have to get up and hold him and feed so gravity helps and the flow is faster and holding him means he eventually sleeps or at-least is feeding properly so is bloody quiet now! So at 1 am or 3am or often 5am onwards im holding n feeding until he wakes up 🥲🥲🥲

Any tips?

How’s everyone’s babies sleeping?

My little one is 19 weeks, she used to sleep through when we would put her to bed at around 10pm, she would sleep through until 6-7 am.
Now she gets so tired around 8 pm so we moved her bedtime here, but coming with this is 1-2 night feeds and she’ll be wide awake at 6 am, which I know is still amazing but I am currently as sick as a dog so hasn’t been the best for my flu 🤣.
I’m unsure whether this is the regression though as her naps are very scattered throughout the day with the max nap being 30 minutes through contact only.
Does this sound like the regression? When did your little one start sleeping through again if they ever did? Thanks in advance 🤗❤️
