Sleep worse than ever

We are really struggling and at breaking point… LO won’t sleep properly at nursery and as a result is being absolutely horrendous at night. Last night she only slept 7:30-12 and 3:30-5:30. When she’s awake she is constantly screaming and it’s getting unbearable. She has never been a good sleeper and we’ve never even had one full nights sleep or less than 3 wake ups.Has anyone else been through this or have any advice?

No advice but we've struggled with sleep since starting nursery. Also doesn't help she's been poorly and had her jabs....so it's just an accumulation of things 🥴

Same here! My boy was a perfect sleeper until he turned 1. I think it’s a combination or jabs, teething, separation anxiety and developmental stuff…I’m half dead working full time too..no advice sorry but you’re not alone x

How much sleep is she getting at nursery xx

Nursery has impacted length of night sleep and caused early wakes for us. We can fix it in half term and then goes back to problems again 🤦🏼‍♀️ no advice sorry!x

My LG has never been a good sleeper but it has been horrendous since she turned 1. The past week me and my partner have been taking it in turns as she will not sleep in her cot! Think it's separation anxiety. It is so hard. Babies sleep is so hard and testing

barely any - 20 mins in the morning and same in the afternoon ☹️

Update: he dropped his second nap from one day to the other and has been sleeping 12 hours since with 1 wake up around 5am for a dummy…

When did you circumcise your baby?
If you DID NOT or DO NOT have a circumcised son DO NOT comment this post is not for you!

Did you wait a certain amount of time or have it done immediately?
Again respectfully, this is only for the parents who choose to do so.
opinions about how not necessary it is will not be appropriate for this post. Thank you in advance. 🩵

Can someone pls help i keep making this post and nobody is responding

My boyfriend booked a trip for us to go to mexico for a week as my push present. I have severe anxiety leaving my 7 month old with my mom. I know she will be in good hands but she’s exclusively breast fed for the most part but accepts bottles just fine. i have all my pumping parts packed and will pump when baby normally eats but i don’t want baby to forget me or have latch issues when i return!! any mommas ever experience this?

Postpartum

I’m only 3 days postpartum (FTM) and already have extremely bad anxiety. I’m crying every night, as I think of another night of no sleep. My baby will not settle in his cot, he cries every moment we put him down unless in his chair rocker. So me and my partner are having to alternate after 3/4 hours of being awake with him downstairs. I’m trying everything to get him to settle. It’s a load of overwhelming stress. I’m 23, I was desperate for a baby and now I have one and feel completely useless. I miss it just being me and my partner.

I feel like just a milk cow

Hi I have a 16 day old via c section, I'm a FTM never having been around babies before as I am the youngest of my household and from a small family. My husband is fantastic with our little one. But ever since I've had the baby I just feel like the only thing I'm good for is producing milk. I feel disconnected from my husband like the only reason he's around is because am producing milk. We were having some issues before the baby and we're struggling it took a while to feel like he was onboard even though he said he was from the moment we found out. I dunno if I'm feeling like a spear part because I'm lacking confidence with baby or because I feel like he wouldn't mind being a single dad. Is this postpartum hormones or something else?

How long did it take for your child’s circumcision to heal and you could give him a bath?

I’ve just been wiping him down with a fiber wash cloth but I just wanted to know from others experience on how long it took

Guilt

Does anyone else feel guilty for every little thing they do? I feel like I need to be entertaining my little one at all times. If I have to put her in the activity center to finish a task, instant guilt. In the car for too long, instant guilt. Replying to work emails instead of interacting with her, instant guilt. I know independent play is good for her but my brain thinks otherwise. Please tell me it gets better, I’d love to shower for more than 10 minutes without it feeling like the world is going to collapse.
