3 months old

Anyone else’s 3 month old gone from being really happy to really grumpy and just cries? He’s struggled with feeding anyway so that always results in screaming but he’s gone from smiley and happy to constantly being grouchy and moaning or crying. Not sure how much longer I can take the crying all the time.

Yes! But normally when mine is grumpy, it's wind related. He has good days and bad days with it and on his grizzly days, I tend to give him infacol before each feed and by the end of the day, he is alot calmer but every baby is different so this may not help but you're not alone! 🤗 X

he’s definitely more tired today which is contributing to it but then when he feeds he screams too so it just feels like it’s constant at the minute. He’s definitely more grumpy though at the moment and it’s hard 😩 x

Does he cry when feeding or when burping?
I feel you 😔 it's horrible when they cry, let alone when it's relentless throughout the day. Especially when dealing with it on 0 sleep 🫠🫠🤯 x

My baby's 14 weeks and she's been the exact same! She was always smiley. These past 2 days she's been really grouchy and crying. She's been clingy too. Usually she's easy to put to bed but she'll moan and constantly cry, even before her naps. It is hard x

How long has it been going on? I only ask as my LB was really miserable for a few days and it was because of his teething (his first tooth has cut) which was making feeds really difficult and just generally miserable

it’s during the feed, he has an arched pallet so takes in air when he feeds. We’re trying to get him to take a bottle but it’s hard cos he just bites it. He then ends up with wind, I also have a fast let down so that adds to the air going in too. I can be lying down and it still happens. I’m at a loss at the moment xx

Franky is 13 weeks tomorrow and the last couple of days he’s been super grumpy. It’s hard. Especially when I’m dealing with the struggle of him feeding adding this just feels like he’s constantly crying or moaning and nothing I do is enough to make him happy xx

Yeah I can only imagine how difficult it is, especially with the feeding too! My baby doesn't have problems when she feeds, that's the only time she is happy😂 I'm not sure if it's a phase but it is hard when I'm trying everything to keep her happy or stop her from moaning! Especially when she's usually so smiley and happy xx

Yes same here, our baby is always happy (unless jabs or unwell) but last two days she’s been so temperamental and crying more. I happened to speak to my neighbour earlier (used to be a midwife) and we think my little one is starting to teeth judging by how she’s been. Neighbour also happened to say roughly babies are bright and happy for about two weeks then the opposite the next two weeks and the cycle continues, all due to growing and developing. Hope that helps

Hour night wakes and 5am get up

Can anyone shed some light as to why on earth my child doesn’t want to sleep??? My eyeballs are bleeding!!

Never been a good sleeper, but the problems always changing. He’s nearly 9 months old.

Beginning of the month he dropped to 2 naps. We could put him to bed at 7pm and he’d get up for the day at 6am, with multiple wake ups every 2/3 hours.

Now we put him down at 7pm, he can do a good 4/5 hour stretch, but come 1/2am he’s up every hour then getting up for the day at 5am. This then completely messes up the day because I can’t keep him awake long enough to even get to 7pm, let alone later.

He has 2 naps, roughly about 1hr10 each but it changed based on when he wakes and trying to get him to a reasonable bed time.

What could be the reason for this? 6am is fine, but 5am is not 😩😩

Over supply of milk

I am nearly 5weeks postpartum and I have such a big over supply of BM.
Has anyone donated / sold their supply, if so where do you recommend for this?

I think its fair

Me and my partner agreed to sleep in 1 day of the weekend.
He doesn't find it fair to look after both kids (my 4 year old isnt his) while i sleep so he looks after the baby while i sleep and my toddlers at his dads and ill look after both the next day.
Straightaway it was pretty unfair as i let him sleep in until he wakes up 10-12
He wakes me up when baby starts fussing because he wants milk (doesnt need it)
I cant pump as i dont supply enough.
So i get woken at 9/9:30 to feed baby then i get him sleep then theres no point sleeping in as my toddlers being dropped off.
I also find it unfair that i get both kids to sleep most night, i get my toddler to sleep everyday hes home (4/5days) and i get my baby to sleep most nights with the exception of maybe twice a month as his dad struggless then about 95% of his thru the day naps.
I have also been unwell for a few months (tumor scare) and am waiting 18 weeks to see a specialist so im obviously petrified for that, so unbelievably tired and alot of aches and pains, specifically these pounding headaches ive been having.
After i had been up til 11:30 getting both kids to sleep lastnight and my partner falling asleep at 10 then him ignoring the baby cries all morning until my toddler woke up im fed up slammed to door and rold him not to expect to sleep in unless he gets the baby to sleep the night b4.
I keep having issues with him not feeling the wet from baby being sick or weeing himself or being able to smell it do about 98% of the time hes given to me i have to clean him up n change him.
Including at night, we agreed my partner would change nappies (1 a night at 5am) while i feed (2,4,5,6:30) but every night when i get him hes pissed through and my partner gets annoyed when i wake him up n moan about it.
Then the morning after hes annoyed at how much washing there is (thats his job) and moans about how often i change myself (baby constantly shits thru and sicks on me) and baby
Honestly im just so tired all the time

Help meeee

!!All advice welcome!! My 5 month old (nearly 6mo) is just not sleeping . Not for naps and not at night . She can’t connect her cycles . We started sleep regression at 3 months but in like how is this nearly been going on for a further 3 months . Like surely not . She has 10 min naps in crib ( which take so much effort ) and maybe 20/30 min naps in my arms/pushchair . She wakes minimum every hour at night with guaranteed false start 20 mins in . I combo feed. I breastfeed her until almost asleep then place her in the next to me crib give her the pacifier and put my hand on her cheek/face for 20 seconds and she drifts off . It’s not really getting her to sleep that’s the issue it’s she just won’t stay asleep . She doesn’t even need to feed much at night usually 1-2 breastfeeds . The rest is comfort wakes needing her pacifier or my hand on her cheek . I’ve looked into sleep associations and independent sleep and I broke the feed to sleep association and rocking and do bedside comforting instead for most wakes which has now lead to my hand being a sleep association on her face . I’m just so exhausted my husband is working mon-fri 9-9 and it’s just me . I haven’t had more than 4 hours in a row since her birth . I can’t get anything done during the day . She is so clingy and cries if I leave room /put her down etc. I love her so much but we both need rest . If anyone has any tips or a routine that could help PLEASE tell me I’ll try anything 🥲❤️❤️

AITA

In the uk there is an outbreak of meningitis, in a specific area mainly. My BD has family from that area and decided to go and meet up with them, I said if he does then he cannot have contact with the kids for 7-10 days after incase he picks anything up. Am I being over dramatic? I reallyyy don’t want my young kids getting anything serious

Shes a big baby always has been but I'm disabled and I feel like it's my fault she's not hitting milestones I feel like there's something I'm not doing and it's making me a bad mum
