Help

My daughter has been crying like this for hours, and I’m completely at a loss. I’ve fed her, changed her, given her toys and her binky, put on her favorite show, and even let her walk around—but nothing seems to calm her down. I’ve tried soothing her in every way I can think of. I wondered if it might be her teeth, but even after trying to help with that, she’s still crying. I just don’t know what’s wrong.

How old is she? Can you take her on a walk? How did you help her with her teeth?

she’s a year old and I’ve tried the teething tablets/ gel. Froze water in her binky and bottle. Gave her teething toys. But she wants nothing.

It sounds like you’ve tried a lot. Maybe try some fresh air and sunshine if possible. If not, maybe cuddle and ride it out/ re try solutions as time passes. You can try using headphones so her crying isn’t as loud right in your ear…

Did you try a bath? Maybe join her and play as well, examine her body maybe she gassy move her legs around and massage her belly.

Did you try Tylenol? That’s the only thing that would give my daughter some relief while teething. Teething tablets didn’t help her much. We had four teeth come in within two weeks at 12 months. This too shall pass! I hope y’all get some answers. Wishing you the best!

Camilia teething drops helped and I heard with fussy babies, when it doubt try nature or water. When my daughter gets inconsolable usually drawing up a bath and letting her play in it helps.

Maybe try going for a drive? I go on one when my daughter is fussy from teething and with some music she relaxes and falls asleep.

Maybe take her to the dr? Little ones stick things in their mouths so much. It's possible she swollowed something.

Does she calm down if you are holding her and cuddling her?

if I hold her she calms down. But as soon as I put her down she cries

Well that is good she is consolable. Maybe she is just extra needy today and is needing some extra mom cuddles to help her feel better

Could be constipated with a stuck and ouchy poop. Also seems like teething. Definitely Tylenol or Motrin. The Dr. Talbots tablets helped us too. Just ordered Dr. greens Nature Profen for baby…lots of moms on here swear by it.

5 month old activities

Hey everyone my baby is 5 months old and I want to reduce/cut screen time as I have read up on how bad it is what activities did people do to keep their baby entertained. Thank you in advance.

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

Weaning

Hello mamas,could I get some advice please with how and what to wean as started this week with my baby but not really what to give and when what time day. Have started with puree vegetables and making them myself and offering it in the evening to my baby but she tends to get irritated and tired and has a few spoonfulls and then gives up and has a meltdown. So I’m questioning myself am I feeding her wrong time of day and what’s best to mix the food with milk or baby rice please.

Do I need to pay anything when my child starts school in September

I'm a new mum and obviously didn't grow up in the uk. I currently pay roughly £640 for nursery fees. I'm wondering if my expenses will reduce when my LO starts school or there'll be other expenses (besides bags, uniform etc) will my expenses be anywhere close to £600 monthly?

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?
