Baby waking up in the middle of night crying hysterically.

I’m not sure if she’s going through sleep regression but she just had the sleep regression stage at four months so IDK. Is anyone else’s baby doing this? She was sleeping really good through the night before and now the only way to get her back to sleep is by breast-feeding. It seems like it’s every 2 to 3 hours.

Another sleep regression and possible growth spurt

Omg im haveing the same problem the pass couple of night have been hell she wake up crying for no good reason the only way to calm her down is to stand up and put Mickey mouse on and the only way to get her back to sleep is breastfeeding she never had sleep regression tho she do really good at night

I know right! I got too used to sleeping with her through the night and now I feel like I’m in the newborn stage again smh. It’ll pass tho hope you’re doing ok!

We’re going through the same thing.. think she might be teething. It seems to help when we massage her gums or give her something cold to bite on.

good idea i didnt even think of that 😩

the first time was the worst i couldnt understand what was happening but yea he im doing ok now lol thank you

6 months is a sleep regression. I just bf back to sleep and it works for us.

I’m going through this also , with my 2 year old and my 7 month old.. when one goes to sleep the other wakes up.. both are breastfeeding still, I’m dealing with a lot of sleepless nights at this time

Can someone pls help i keep making this post and nobody is responding

My boyfriend booked a trip for us to go to mexico for a week as my push present. I have severe anxiety leaving my 7 month old with my mom. I know she will be in good hands but she’s exclusively breast fed for the most part but accepts bottles just fine. i have all my pumping parts packed and will pump when baby normally eats but i don’t want baby to forget me or have latch issues when i return!! any mommas ever experience this?

Postpartum

I’m only 3 days postpartum (FTM) and already have extremely bad anxiety. I’m crying every night, as I think of another night of no sleep. My baby will not settle in his cot, he cries every moment we put him down unless in his chair rocker. So me and my partner are having to alternate after 3/4 hours of being awake with him downstairs. I’m trying everything to get him to settle. It’s a load of overwhelming stress. I’m 23, I was desperate for a baby and now I have one and feel completely useless. I miss it just being me and my partner.

When does it get better?

I was crying on the phone with the perinatal mental health team today and the lovely lady, bless her, kept assuring me that it gets better. I kept telling her I hope so because people have been saying that since having my LO and it just feels like it keeps getting worse. She assured me it gets better....

Night time routine

Heya, my 3 week old daughter is currently exclusively breastfed and I’m not pumping. Can anyone recommend the best way to share the load with my partner? At the moment I’m doing all the feeds/burbs/settling and my partner is sleeping through which obviously isn’t sustainable, I’m trying to work out the best way to get him involved. Any advice very much appreciated!

Rant/WWYD

My sister (youngest, 24) has two kids, 4 & 1, and i (oldest, 30) just have my one who’s 6mo old right now, so i ask her for advice or call her to vent about things sometimes. Well im tired of her turning around and telling my other family members that I’m “losing my sh*t.” Literally have not lost my sh*t nor have i ever freaked out to her about my baby, i just call her to talk and tell her what stage my baby is in or talk through how im feeling, but she chooses to tell people that im like a complete nutcase or something which worries me that my family is going to start being judgmental about me as a mother or looking at me funny like I’m some fragile ticking time bomb.

What would you do in this situation? I’m already pretty much decided that I’ll stop telling her anything about my struggles, but I’m almost at the point where i feel like it should be confronted because she, of all people, should understand what I’m going through.

Can someone speak on drug screening and c section?

I smoked all through my first pregnancy and tested positive didn’t have any issues a social worker came in and spoke to me and hubby and that was it but this time I’m having an elective c section and wondering did they drug test you there?
