How do I navigate this problem?

So my mom has always been around and very close to me. She said she’d look after my daughter when I went back to work but I said no don’t worry she’s benefit from nursery this was ages ago though. Currently my mom doesn’t have her any days. My daughter also goes to MIL’s which works nicely.

Within the last year every time my mom has her, even for a few minutes she constantly complains to me about how bad it is. She has made up a lie before saying my daughter hated going to my MIL’s, which we found out was not true at all.

When my mom does have her occasionally she doesn’t do anything with her, she will sit on her phone and then my daughter starts tearing the place up out of boredom or attention. I have offered to pay for entries to child friendly activities but she will not go with her.

It’s my mom’s feelings after all and if she doesn’t feel comfortable that’s fine. But as her daughter I’m sad. I don’t have that person anymore I can rely on and it is affecting our relationship. Even today I need to go to a drs appointment and the way my mom rolled her eyes and was already telling my daughter off for nothing !! I feel drained.

I hate that she has said your daughter hates going over to her other grandma’s house, but when she’s with your mom, your mom just complains. That’s not fair 😢

Seems like your daughter is a burden to your mom. I wouldn’t allow my daughter to stay with my mom if she was like that. Usually grandparents are happy to be around their grandkids. I would look for another babysitter or daycare.

I agree with you Sarah, also if you able to talk to your mom about it, ask her what you explained to see her response

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?

Bath Time

Help! My baby is 3 and a half weeks old. Every bath she goes in quite happy but will only stay like this for a very few mins, if I try to clean her or move her we have tears and after a few mins the same. It's like she is scared. Our current baby bath is quite big should I try a different one? Looking for any suggestions as want her to enjoy bath time not be upset and I'm scared I'm going to make her hate it😢💗

Crying during feeding

Hey mams! My girl is 6 weeks on Monday and is having so much trouble with feeding. It doesn’t happen every feed but more often than not she will start a bottle and just start crying as if she’s in pain and she can’t take the milk. I think it’s trapped wind but I genuinely don’t know what to do it’s so pitiful to see her not be able to feed! She’s formula fed and on HiPP Organic.
Anyone else been in this position? I’m pretty sure it’s just a bit of trapped wind that she needs to fart out but can’t! If anyone has any advice I’d be very grateful as I think I may need to tape my eyelids open soon 😂

No more naps! 10 month old

For a few days now my 10m old has fought her 2 daily naps. Normally her wake windows were 3-4 hours and she is now eventually napping after a 6 hour wake window. Today was only one nap, she skipped the second one. Used to nap like clockwork so I’m wondering if anyone else is experiencing this? Also very unsettled most nights and doesn’t sleep well at all
