Sleep

Hi ladies. My little one went from only waking up once in the night to now waking up every two hours. This is the third night of waking up every two hours. She’s 9 months today and her second tooth just broke through. Is this normal? I been trying to keep the same bath/bed time routine. I add cereal in her milk before bed. (My family claims that help babies sleep longer. I feel like that doesn’t effect my baby.) anyone have any advice? I’m beyond tired and on physical pain.

My baby is almost 10 months but right when he turned 9 months he did that for a week or so. I think their is a 9 month sleep regression if I remember correctly.

my babe is 8 months and she started this around 6 months but she used to sleep through the night before that since 1 month 😃 everything is the same. we found moving bedtime up an hour has helped wake-up’s but it’s still tough. be careful adding cereal as it is a choking hazard. it’s much safer to just spoon feed cereal before offering a bottle but ofc you know your baby best!! you can try high fat foods before bedtime bottle as well like butter (sounds crazy but REAL butter) is a slow digestive food that is high in fat and reallllllly good to help them sleep longer

according to the AAP a baby under 1 should have about 50% of their food coming from fats. It's good for their growing bodies, so doesn't sound crazy to me

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 😂
