10 month sleep regression?

Has anyone experienced a 10 month sleep regression? Ever since crawling, she's woken up multiple times during the night (especially the early evening) crying inconsolably until held and rocked back to sleep. She was an excellent sleeper until around 2 weeks ago and this last week has been the worst for her sleep. She is also now waking between 4-5am for the start of the day (the only way we can get her back to sleep is in our bed or by holding otherwise she just cries). It was 6-6:30am before. She's also having a night feed still (she's on 3 good meals a day + 2-3 milks of 200ml in the day) which I think is too much milk...but she drinks the whole lot at night and nothing else will console her until she's had the milk.

Does anyone have any ideas as to whether this sounds like a typical sleep regression/growth spurt or whether I need to do something different with routine?

Her bedtime is currently 7 for a 7:30 sleep.

My 10 month old is doing similar at the moment. Was an okay sleeper until recently, multiple wake ups through the night (no feeds) but needs to be held and rocked back to sleep and then halfway through the night will only sleep in our bed šŸ¤¦šŸ»ā€ā™€ļø I’m really hoping this is just a phase!

my 10 month old has been hell to get down of a night time recently!
11pm she finally went the other day! i could have cried!
she occasionally wakes once in the night where we have to rock her back to sleep, but she normally goes quite easily then!

my little one has 5 bottles of 6oz plus 3 meals a day!
i just googled how much milk her age should be having and divided it to a reasonable amount across the 5 feeds!

i have read there is a 10 month sleep regression (i read ā€˜taking cara babies’ alot)
it basically suggests just keeping them in a routine and riding it out (which is no help at all when your getting no sleep)

we do bedtime at 7-7.30 but depending on how easy she goes down, depends on what time she falls asleep!
i do highly recommend taking cara babies.
i’ve used their sample schedules since my little one was about 4 months, for naps, feed times and bed time!
maybe worth having a look at as a potential attempt?

Do men really enjoy fellatio?

Been together more than 10 years, but it's been a while since he even seemed remotely interested in me getting on my knees, or vice versa so to speak. I think it was once last year. Must be something I am doing wrong šŸ¤”. Generally everything else in that department is great and we have two young kids with no extra support, so it's quite surprising we can't keep our hands off each other but may need to try new things. It's basically 2 positions each time with some foreplay.

I think Motherhood has made me more bitter than I realized…

This is such a ramble but I don’t know where else to put it all.

I’m four months in and I don’t really have hobbies right now. I don’t do anything for myself except maybe doomscrolling or listening to a podcast while I breastfeed my baby. I used to craft and have game nights with friends. Activities that usually are at least 2 hour stretches. Now if I have an hour free my mind immediately goes to baby, or doing something in the house for baby.

And I thought I didn’t mind. Like I knew postpartum could be very mentally consuming. But I think it’s altering how I view people around me and it’s prodding at my relationship with my husband.

He spends most of his time making food for us, looking after our dogs, playing with the baby, ect. But he still has time for his hobby. Spends maybe an hour a night on it. Even adapted to using a bot for shopping for his hobby after a certain incident where we had to have a heart to heart after he left me home alone with the baby for hours during a busy workday (I work from home) to shop for his hobby.

And yet there’s like this little green eyed monster in me that rages every time I know he’s running off to start up the bot. Even though I’m the reason he does it this way.

We took a family trip last weekend to see his best friend and their kids and let them meet the baby. He brought the laptop. He’s always brought a laptop on trips and it’s never been a problem to me before. But one night we both woke up while the baby was still asleep, and he wandered out of the room. I tried to fall back asleep but couldn’t. So I went to the kitchen to try having something warm to drink to settle me. And he was there at the table running the bot from his laptop. I flipped out at him. But there really wasn’t reason to. It’s not like I needed help with the baby and he was ignoring me. He wasn’t avoiding our friends. He was just awake and unable to sleep and found something to do with his time. Yet my snap reaction was ā€œwhy the hell would you do this on a family trip?ā€

I don’t know what it is. Maybe it’s the less complete sleep from baby’s middle of the night feed? My brain being just consumed by baby? Maybe I’m not as over that shopping incident as I thought? But I’m just so annoyed at his hobby right now. The green eyed monster thinks ā€œyou could be using that time differentlyā€ but realistically to do what exactly??? Stare at our baby in the dark???

I spent probably an hour apologizing to him after I snapped. And he’s of course hurt and frustrated because I said some very mean things in the moment.

I don’t want to be this jealous, angry person. But I also don’t know how to find time for myself in this right now outside of basic hygiene. It’s like I’ve forgotten how to be myself, even if just for an hour.

Maybe I need a therapist.

How is everyone doing for naps?

Little one is 9 months old and will have 2 half hour naps and one solid 1 hour - 2 hour nap a day

Then settles for night around 9pm. Wakes for a feed around 3:30 then sleeps until 6-7

Vaccination advice

I’m really looking for advice and opinions on vaccines for my baby. I’m not against getting them but also just don’t feel like I know enough about them to make a decision just yet as I’ve had people say to me they don’t agree with them and they can cause issues etc… so I just want as much info as possible. What are everyone’s thoughts and experiences of vaccinating your child? I’m just interested to see everybody’s views (no judgement as I just want to know I’m doing the right thing) thank you x
