Anyone else's baby losing hair?

Hi mamas!
My baby is losing hair at the back of her head. NHS states this is totally normal as they gain more mobility with their neck/head, but I can't help but feel like I've neglected her😭
She was born with a full head of hair and everyone comments on it (and then can't believe I had no heartburn😂)
Had anyone else's baby started to lose some hair?

She's also started sleeping through the night (11hrs with 1 wake up)
So she's spending a lot more time in the crib as well

Yes mine has a bit of a bald patch at the back. My first baby had this too - once they start trying to roll it’s very common. Mine were both born with lots of hair which does make it more noticeable but it’s 100% not neglect so don’t stress, it grows back soon enough!

My little boy has the absolute worst mullet going on from where he sleeps on the side of his head 😂 it’s perfectly normal! All my friends with babies at this age have weird little bald patches currently 😂

Yes mine too!

Ok, wait. How is your baby sleeping through the night? 💀 need those tips asap LOL what does her schedule look like ?

I'm sorry but I don't have any tips 😂
After her 8 weeks jabs, she dropped from 6 bottles a day to 5. After a few days of experimenting with timings and such, I realised if she has 1 MOTN feed, and 4 bottles during the day, she will sleep from 8pm until roughly 3am (sometimes 4am). At that time she will have a bottle, and then settle back down until any time between 0630 - 0730!
Our schedule is roughly:
Wake up at 7ish
Bottle at 8am
Nap at 0830ish
Wake up at 11
Bottle at 12
Nap at 12:30ish
Wake up at 2:30pm
Bottle at 15:30ish
Asleep by 4:30ish
Wake up at 6pm
Start bedtime routine at 7pm
Asleep by 8pm
MOTN bottle between 3&4am (which is why she doesn't get a bottle as soon as she wakes up. She isn't hungry at first)
If every day could be like what I've said above, it would be perfect😂
However today she decided to have a 3 hour wake window this afternoon, which led to a 30min nap and a very cranky baby at bed time!
I can feel the next sleep regression looming though😭😂

I realised when she was about 4weeks old that she went for her "long sleep" around midnight/1am. I started doing a simple bedtime routine before her long sleep to get her associated with bedtime. After a week or so, I started to bring "bedtime" forward until 7pm (it was a lot of messing around with feeds and everything else but it worked). At that time, she was still waking for 2 MOTN feeds until her 8 week jabs when she dropped one. I think in the last 6 weeks (she is 14weeks now), she has only had maybe 5 nights where she has woken up for 2 feeds. All the rest have been just 1 feed. I don't know if it's what I've done or just luck of the draw but I'm not complaining at all and absolutely proud of us both😎

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 😩😩

Help! First time mum -

I have a 4 month old and now all of a sudden when he’s been asleep for 1hr30/2hrs he will wake up screaming (high pitched) I’ve tried winding him sometimes that helps, I’ve tried bicycle legs & bringing his knees up but that doesn’t seem to help but he brings his knees up himself sometimes but nothing happens. I’ve noticed since the 4 month mark he has started to struggle passing wind downwards! Any tips?

Don’t want to leave my first born😭😭😭

Anyone else extremely sad and anxious to leave their first born😭

He’s 2 and we have never not put him to bed or be here for when he wakes up😭

I’m so sad and anxious about leaving him

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 🥲❤️❤️

Feeds

How many times a night are your little ones getting up? My daughter is every 90-110 minutes. I am absolutely exhausted and don’t know how much more I can cope

Sleep

My baby is now 8 months and we have a sleep problem.. he refused to sleep during the day , I need to rock him for about 40min then have break and try again even though he's clearly tired , sometimes he doesn't have the last nap because it is impossible to put him down. For the last few nights he wakes up every hour with cry and most of the day looks tired. I was at the GP and everything seems fine. Don't know what to do anymore. Does anyone have the same issue? How to deal with it?
