Everything Changed

Now that baby is 1. She is no longer eating or sleeping.she used to sleep throughout the night. Now maybe 5hr and she doesn't like anything so I end up giving her goat milk 12-24mo and she will drink that. However, she was eating solids strong. Idk what this means and why everything changed all over again. Any suggestions?

Same here. Once November hit and time changed, my daughter was completely different. We had to sleep train, which I thought I would never have to do. She stopped wanting solids, I can get her to eat the little serenity pouches, no problem though. She refuses most of the daycare food. I just keep offering her solids and figuring things we can keep offering. We had to put her on 12-24m formula since she is lower in weight already. It's just trail and error over here now lol.

The 1 year sleep regression is unfortunately a normal thing! Just give baby time to settle back into a routine. I think teething and then being more aware impacts it all.

Thank you ladies because I thought i was doing something wrong. Now the sleep training thing. I have had multiple moms tell me about this. The sleep training programs are all hundreds of dollars a month. Is that normal? My husband won't be able to not go in her room. I just don't want to spend that kind of money if he can't stick with the program.

Solidarity! Her sleep has been shitty for like 2/3 weeks and she just turned 1 on Nov 21st! I was getting barely 3 hr max! Now we’re doing a little better more solid 4/5hrs ugggggh
Solids are hit or miss too!

I FEEL YOU! My son is doing the same. He would sleep through the night & if he did wake up at night.. he’d play in his crib quietly then put himself back to sleep but now he’s been crying. He usually cries for less than 10 min then sleeps but last night he cried for over 10 min so we got him & he just wanted to play. We eventually put him back in his crib & he cried for less than 10 min, then slept

We did not pay for any sleep training programs. I did a bunch of research and tried a few techniques until one worked.

what method did u try?

We tried all of them, but the only way that worked was a combination of fading method and Ferber. Took about 4-5 days, now she's sleeping through the night. Sometimes, she wakes up around 4a but goes right back to sleep.

My boy used to wake up several times at night, crying and screaming. We would always get to him, and it would take sometimes 10 minutes, sometimes more to rock him back to sleep. But also every evening, we would put him down in his crib asleep so he never learnt how to fall asleep on his own. Last week we started sleep training, using Ferber extinction method, and it worked like magic. He cries a bit when I put him down in his crib, but as soon as I walk out and turn the lights off, he gets quiet. And he didn’t wake up screaming at night for 5 nights already. Sometimes he does wake up and fuss, but he doesn’t panic as he used to before… I was surprised how well it worked, and he didn’t cry much at all in the process. Every baby is different, but it’s probably worth a shot.

Post partum dad

I have a 2 month old. A few weeks ago my husband crashed out because he didn't feel like he was getting to bond with her. I started exclusively breastfeeding around that time and honestly didnt see the big deal. Baby and I left for a few days and when we got back home, everything was fine. He was extremely hands-on. He helped with my meals, her bedtime, bath, stories.....for a few weeks it was great. Then he randomly sounds depressed af. He says our lo is better off without him, he wants to sleep all day , he asks me not to watch tv then tried playing a video game. He refused to reply to me when i asked any follow-up questions. Then he woke up our baby trying to race me to the bathroom first thing in the morning . He's doing a weird mix of crying, trying, and giving up. Im starting to feel like I cant handle him not being able to handle life with baby and just want to be alone. Are there resources for men?

My friend is over from another country but I don't feel like leaving the house

One of my old friend's is visiting where I currently live and we agreed to meet up today but I feel so tired and exhausted from everything that's been going on with me. I feel if I meet her I'm going to end up having another breakdown from the exhaustion which I have been having often. I'm just thinking about how I need to rest to be able to deal with my toddler and go back to work on Monday without feeling like I need another weekend. I'm torn on what to do so I need you guys to help me decide

Is it bad of me to think this or no?

My husband has been abroad for work (1 day and exploring for 1 day) for 2 and a half days which means I’ve had both kids (1 year and 4 year old) for 2 and a half days plus cooking, cleaning, taking them to clubs, bedtimes!
He came home late afternoon and said I’m so tired, I just need to chill. I said can you wash up whilst I sort kids dinner out, he said he’ll do it later which means he won’t do it and I’ll end up doing it so I said no do it now please otherwise I’ll end up doing it and he said well you have been home and I’ve been away so you’ve just been relaxing.
Don’t know what planet he is on but having the kids alone for 2.5 days is not relaxing. I was stressed!

When he was away, I did miss him and wanted him to come back but now he’s back, I want him to go away again😂
Is that bad?

Feeling like I’m failing

Hey guys, I need some advice or some positivity here!
My daughter is 5 months next week and she has her first tooth coming through! Yay! But for the past month or so she has become so wary of family whenever I go to visit! She screams, won’t settle, cries the whole time. I went for my birthday to celebrate and I had to leave because she just would cry looking at anyone :( it’s so hard because she used to be so good with anyone!

Will this change or is this just the way she is? I try to see them as often as I can, and my MIL is looking after her in two weeks overnight and part of a day and I’m petrified of what’s going to happen, that she’s going to scream. My poor MiL 😭. I’m a very calm and collected person and I don’t get worked up when she does react this way… I just feel so sad and down that I can’t be with family and that my poor girl is scared. I give her so many cuddles, milk, toys, going to a quiet room, but she just doesn’t settle 😭

Please someone say this is a phase and there is light at the end of the tunnel ?!!

With the weather getting nicer I just feel we are going to miss out on so many lovely family memories

People telling you your baby is hungry..

I know people don’t always mean it in a bad way and are trying to relate, but when people say my baby is hungry when chewing his hands. I feed him regularly. He eats pretty much every 2 hours. He isn’t hungry, he just loves chewing and exploring his hands. Or they say something about teething, which it is also not, as he isn’t unsettled with it. I have looked into it myself and can be common and neither of those things! He has done it most of the day since 2 months old.
