No sleep

I feel like I’m the only one whose baby still doesn’t sleep😫I’m lucky to get two hours of consecutive sleep, anyone else? He wakes up screaming and I have to give him to boob to go back off.

Is he in his own room? My girl didn’t sleep through till I put her in her own room x

Feel the same way! My daughter wakes up many times and cannot fall asleep independently:( she relies on the comfort of a bottle x

Sorry I can’t offer any advice. My little boy still wakes up A LOT & I feed back to sleep or my husband will cuddle him back off if I’ve already been up 3/4 times. He’s never been a good sleeper but lately I can be up sometimes 6 times a night 😩😩. I’m just hoping it gets easier one day but he’s 11 months this month and so far no changes xx

My little one is the same lately, she's never been 100% since the 4 month regression but the past 3 weeks or so have been bad, with her waking for hours in the night, on and off the bottle as that's usually the only thing that will send her back to sleep!

Thanks for replying girls, it’s so tough isn’t it. Im sorry you’re all going through this too, but it does make me feel less alone, as I’ve felt it’s just my boy. He hasn’t been the same since the 4 month regression either. He’s in his own room now, but by around 4am we cosleep because I’m so exhausted by that point. I’m either up every hour, or on a good night 2 hours. And if I don’t give him the boob he literally screams soooo much! I don’t know how I’ll ever wean him off haha

I’m hoping when he’s walking, and starts nursery maybe it’ll tire him out more and sleep? I don’t know why I have age 1 in my head that he’ll sleep😂 but he’s 11 months in 2 weeks

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?

When does it get better?

I was crying on the phone with the perinatal mental health team today and the lovely lady, bless her, kept assuring me that it gets better. I kept telling her I hope so because people have been saying that since having my LO and it just feels like it keeps getting worse. She assured me it gets better....

Crawling

Did anyone’s little one start crawling yet? I feel like we are falling behind but really have no idea. I’m trying to introduce more floor time but it’s been rough because of having hardwood floors and our 80 lb oblivious to life dog. I got us a carpet for the living room and trying to put the dog out more when the weather allows. She sits like a pro and will roll to get the things she needs😅 but no real signs of crawling yet.
