Regression

Is it possible not to notice regression? 🙈
I feel very bad asking this as I’ve seen how many women wrote about their journeys. My baby is 19 weeks (born on 17th) and I don’t think there is any change in her sleep… is it yet to come?

30% don’t have a 4 month regression

Mine had no noticeable regression at 4 months (actually day time sleep got a bit wild but she was a terrible napper anyway), night sleep not affected so it definitely doesn't happen to all babies. However the first year is a wild ride there will be tricky times and better times with sleep, rest assured it's all normal!

The only thing my girl has done is wake around 4.30-5 for some milk and then she goes back to sleep for 3-4 hours. She sleeps for 8 hours before that though 😂
She is fighting naps a little more in the day but that’s it.
She is 18 weeks on Monday

My 1st never hit the 4 month regression she slept though from 8 weeks and that was it, still does at 21 months! Regression don’t effect her night time sleep 🙌🏼

My 2nd has been the complete opposite, my 4 month old has been hit savage by the 4 month regression. Every baby is different and my 2 daughter’s couldn’t be any more opposite xx

Mine came closer to 5 months and is teething aligned really

My 4 month old girl from sleeping like a pro now I am not sure what I’m doing wrong but she is not able to sleep again on her crib, only on me and crying. Wanting to feed less than every two hours. Waking every two hours at night. She got a cold as well so she is congested. Definitely regression hit her 😢

My boy has been awesome at sleeping through the night but a complete rascal during the day with naps since about day 3-5 the only way he’ll nap is on top of me/contact naps which with a 2 year old that doesn’t nap it’s not always possible. We don’t really notice regressions we just take every day as it comes and that works for us.

Weird feelings

I am now 2 and a half months PP, and I was just looking at my scar. It feels so surreal to me. I had to have an emergency C-Section after 20 hours of labor and an induction that worked too fast. It's so strange to me that this scar is on my body, that it's where my baby came out of. Everything was completely the opposite of my original birth plan, but I could not be more thankful that they caught the reason for my c-section when they did. That still doesnt change the... almost impostor syndrome I feel when I look at my body and my scar. I've changed so much, it's so strange to me

Sleep though the night

Any tips on how to encourage my 5 month old to sleep though the night

Wtf- husband edition

The past 2.5 months or so, I’ve been the primary night time (and daytime) caretaker of our 5 month old. I feed him formula before bed, then breast feed him on demand throughout the night. Before, we’d have shifts through the night in different beds so each of us could get sleep. My husband started sleeping in the same bed as us around that time and he’s moves aggressively in his sleep and snores. As you can imagine, I don’t get much sleep. The only time I get uninterrupted sleep is for 4-5 hours in the morning when the baby sitter gets here. Meanwhile my husband sleeps 6-7 hours each night, no problem.
Tonight, I told him I really needed alone time and sleep for my mental health. He agreed and offered to take the baby and try to put him to sleep.
Knowing our child, I told him some of the different things to try to get him calm or keep him calm. The quickest way being to get in a warm shower with him. He agreed.
So why did I have to listen to my baby crying for about 45 minutes??? I tried to let my husband figure things out but eventually I couldn’t take it anymore. I got out of bed and went and asked if he put the baby in the shower and he said “no, that takes too much effort”.
WHAT??
I do bath time almost every day!! He has done bath time ONCE in the five months.
I asked for just a couple of hours to myself to sleep and he can’t do whatever it takes so baby isn’t crying so I can sleep??
I’m livid.
I ended up taking our son. He just fell asleep on the boob and, of course, my husband came and fell asleep too. Somehow I’m the only one awake after I asked for much needed sleep.
I know arguing won’t help but I’m so upset. I just needed to vent and maybe cry.

Rant

I love my partner to absolute bits but omg the snoring I could go insane, my baby was cluster feeding last night which meant I was up till 3 in morning with him I finally get to sleep baby wakes us both up at 6:30 so feed him by time had finished my partner was back asleep and snoring his bliddy head off woke the baby back up then finally settled him again only to me not being able to sleep kept waking partner up didn’t make difference ended up going downstairs which woken baby up again only for him to have another feed cause by this time it’d been 2 hours since the last so now currently almost 9am and I’m wide awake baby’s starting to get to sleep so looks like I’m surviving the day on 3 hours sleep yay and on a busy day 😕 little pic of the man in question and my lil bubba boy

I feel like a terrible mother

I am 5 weeks pregnant with my second and my anger is through the roof. I feel like I am snapping and screaming at my 22 month too much. My hormones are killing me and I feel like I am a horrible mother. I can’t control it and I feel terrible. Has anyone else gone through this??

Spit ups

My newborn seems to spit up almost immediately after every feed . She’s bottle fed formula. I’ll like burp her for a moment and after she burps she’ll like spit up the formula she had, not ALOT but a good amount. Then she’ll do it like 2-3 more times later on after that. Can’t tell if this is normal or not.
