Sleep regression

My LO is 3.5 months and goodness are we going through it. She used to sleep through the night with her swaddle and ever since i stopped swaddling her a month ago she hasn’t slept as well at all. she usually woke 1/2 times after i stopped swaddling which wasn’t terrible . Now the past week has been extremely rough, waking up multiple times.. last night was the worst, she woke up so many times, screaming, would not be settled at all. this has never happened before. she always just wants to nurse and goes back to bed ( sometimes it takes a couple tries putting her in bassinet but nursing always calms her at night. ) she wanted to be rocked , pat and then she would finally latch. i even brought her in bed with me which usually she’s happy with but not last night. she’s still so fussy this morning & she’s like fighting her sleep. She’s so squirmy, kicking her legs and flings her arms all over the place. i’m at a loss. i’m going to try night time gripe water i hope that helps. is there anything i can do or has anyone had success with anything during this time? any advice wanted this mama is tired and frustrated 😣

Me too! My baby boy LOVED being swaddled but he just outgrew every swaddle so fast bc of his height, so my husband & I decided we’d get him out of the swaddle & into a sleep sack. Since then he hasn’t slept good😭 It takes us about 3-4hrs to finally put him to bed without him waking up in the next 2 min.. screaming. He hasn’t been a good sleeper at all so now it’s just even worse.
We’re at our wits end, and sometimes we just let him cry it out for 3-4 min max before coming to check in on him again because we’ve basically tried every single thing. He is fed, changed & burped so he’s just being fussy.

Its rough!! I hope we can get through this someday!

have you considered dreamland swaddle? weighted swaddle they do have arm holes and can go pretty big in size.

I’m doing baby Merlin’s magic sleep suit

I’m a week in to the regression and my baby is up on the hour every hour. He will only sleep again if I nurse him back to sleep. He used to wake 2-3 times a night for a feed but this is toooo much. I really hope it passes soon because im exhausted! This is worse than the newborn stage x

Baby cutlery

Out of curiosity.
If we have to sterilise baby bottles, dummy’s ect.
Do we also sterilise baby cutlery?

Moving while asleep

My 12 week old has been sleeping through the night (8 hours) for the last week and a half and since the 3rd or 4th night he's been wriggling his way to the other end of his crib to the point where his head is cocked to the side
He seems fine but it looks uncomfortable and ive always been told he needs to have his feet touching the bottom of his bed and if I move him back he wakes up.
Has anyone else experienced this? Did you leave it? Are there any potential issues if I do leave it?

5 am wake up🫩🥱

My 3 year old … lately has been waking at 5am 😭
I’m exhausted!

He winds down half an hour before bed - we get ready for bed, each of us read a book each, kisses and cuddles, a drink of water and up to bed. He goes down easy, I sit for 2 minutes literally and he’ll self sooth himself to sleep by 7:30pm he’s out! But the past 3 days he’s been waking and coming into my bed at 5am … me thinking he’ll go sleep he’ll just toss and turn and wants to go down…

Anyone in the same boat?

Help

Hi mamas! Has anyone dealt with their baby’s hair clumping at the back of their head? I tried baby oil to loosen it but no luck so far. Any advice?

Blood in baby’s poo

Ladies, I’ve just changed my baby and noticed some blood on his poo and on the diaper. The poo was quite soft, not pebbly and he wasnt straining or anything like that. Anyone had anything like this before? What is it? Shall i call the GP?

Struggling

My baby’s 5 weeks old and I am really struggling. I knew it would be hard but it’s so much harder in reality. She won’t be put down without waking up after 5 minutes. Won’t be put down at night either. I can’t do anything without doing it one handed holding her. Every night she spends hours being stressed and crying and really difficult to console, fighting sleep and nothing I do seems to help her for more than 30 seconds. I’m just putting this out there wondering if others are going through the same. It’s a lot.
