Screaming Baby

My little boy is almost 4m old,

This is the third night in a row where he cries like he’s in pain every morning when he wakes up. It’s a screech cry like I’ve never heard before. But then as soon as I pick him up and calm him down it’s like nothing has happened. He’s happy and smiling and content.

I initially thought maybe it’s gas but now I’m thinking it’s an attention thing to get out of the cot in the morning 🤣🤣

Is anyone else’s child like this

Mine is the same! Is it the same time every morning? Mines usually around 6amish and I used to think he screamed for food but then would never take bottle and instantly fall asleep on me

yesss! It’s around 7 every morning but he won’t take a bottle until 8. Does your little one scream like they’re in pain or scared though? It honestly worries me that something might be wrong and I’m missing it

Exactly the same!! It is a bad cry but I wonder if they wake up after the night asleep and want comfort/want to be held. Does your LO stop crying quite quickly after you hold them or go to sleep? If so its probably the same as mine and think he just wants to go back to sleep being held. He also doesn't have a bottle till 8ish too. He screamed this morning at 7am and had 30ml as I thought it was hunger again then went back to sleep and wouldn't take any more 🙃

I'm also a worrier too but I get the sense if it was properly in pain they probably wouldn't stop crying very quickly and nothing would really settle them. That's just my impression too as I'm never sure.

Mine has started doing the same and waking earlier than usual. I’ve put it down to sleep regression and the possibility that he is also teething.

Mine is doing the exact same! Smiling as soon as I pick him up. I think it’s just them becoming more aware and trying to say “okay i want to get up now”😂

Mine has had some nightmares where she started screaming, as soon as she woke up properly she was fine!

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?

Any September 2025 babies crawling yet

My little one isn’t crawling yet but he loves tummy time

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 🤗❤️
