Very much so, I can never have it on speaker because of him and sometimes have to go to a different room.

right 😩😩I just give up and give him the phone but he just wants to hang it up and go to YouTube even tho what he is trying to watch is already on tv

I haven’t run into this yet, but if I did I think I’d let him say hi then say I needed to finish my conversation

My Little One isn't allowed my phone either, it's just because he can hear someone on the phone and wants to talk to or try to (because he isn't talking yet).

She gets so mad when it’s a call and not FaceTime. The entire time is just “show me!” And “I want to see her!”

No. I have a strict no kids policy for my phone. If they want to throw a tantrum over it, so be it.

He doesn't get upset, but he does try to tell them things. Today someone called while we were in a parking lot. I tried to disconnect my phone but didn't by accident so it went through the car speakers. My son was yelling about how he got a lemon (plush toy from aldi) oops 😳😂

He thinks all phone calls are grandma and I’m just holding out on him lol

My daughter isn’t allowed to use my phone unless I offer it for FaceTime with family or if I’m in an appointment and put a show on it for her. There is no reason a kid should be on your phone so much they get upset when you need to use it.

Sounds like a lot of screen time is the issue

Avatar

Used to but she's learnt when I'm on the phone to leave me to it and keep as quiet as she can

No.

my child gets no screen time but when people call that she knows she wants to hold the phone. And yes, she will get upset if I don’t let her hold it. Don’t be so judgmental lmao

Avatar

my son only uses my phone to call family as well but he gets upset because anytime I’m on the phone he thinks it’s family. Doesn’t necessarily mean OPs kid is on her phone all the time

Avatar

oh okay so just rude 😂

Avatar

None of my kids use my phone regularly unless one of our family members is on screen time but it’s not routinely given to them to play with otherwise they’re more likely to get their play phones or remotes and mimic my being on the phone than to actually want or cry for my personal phone also my phone is on lock they’ve never played one game on it nor can they maneuver anywhere on it etc my son has his own tablet for that

Avatar

Luckily usually whoever is calling is someone my daughter likes so she just waves at phone and says "Nana" or "Pappa" etc

she didn’t give a lot of context in the poll question, I was just sharing my opinion 😊

Peace of mind please

I shot up at 4am last night and had the urge to check my little boy who sleeps in a cot next to our bed.
For the first time he has rolled over and was sleeping on his stomach, my heart dropped.
I was so scared that I picked him up to make sure he was okay and he was just sound asleep…

What are we supposed to do if they roll over in their sleep?! He’s almost 6 months old and I’m prettified of him rolling and it being a different outcome if I don’t wake up..

Just need some peace of mind that this is
okay?

6m old not sleeping

My 6m old won’t sleep. He goes bed at 8/8.30. He’ll sleep until 3am and then he just wakes up like he’s ready for the day.
He’s not hungry, cold, too hot, not teething ect but it’s been going on for about a week. He then won’t go back to sleep until 5ish then he wakes every single morning at 7 on the dot. I’m exhausted. Anyone got any tips on helping this because he’s then so mardy throughout the day due to lack of sleep.

Moving 18 week old to her own room

Just looking for some advice really. I know at this age (18 weeks) she will most likely be going through sleep regression BUT I have been thinking for a while now about the time to put her in her own cot.. she’s in a next to me one at the moment and is constantly hitting the sides with her feet and she’s waking up so so much! Has any other mums moved their babies to their own room?

We have the owlet sock and camera so of course would keep an eye on her and I’m planning on sleeping in the room with her to begin with just to see if she sleeps any better. I know it’s advised 6 months due to SIDS but feel as though we would all get better sleep

I don’t really know what to do as me and my partner are EXHAUSTED

P.s she does nap through the day really well in her own bed so she is used to it

How are you BOTH getting sleep with a newborn?! 😴

Hey mamas 🤍

Looking for any advice or tips on how to protect a few hours of sleep for both me and my partner 🙏

We have a 5-week-old who usually wakes around 12/1/2am (depending on bedtime), and then again around 3/4/5am. My partner works from 7am to 5pm usually, so evenings can feel a bit full-on, and nights are quite broken at the moment (which I understand is quite normal!).

We’re combi feeding, as in the baby has expressed breast milk during the day, and we switch to formula overnight.

Would love to hear what’s worked for you from shifts, routines, anything that helped you both get a bit more rest 💭✨

Colic Baby

Anyone else have a colic baby? If so how do you cope with it and get your sleep in? I’ve tried everything under the sun, on top of this he’s cluster feeding like hell.
