8 month sleep regression

Anyone else being absolutely killed off by this sleep regression I thought the four month one was bad but looking back it was EASY compared to this.
This time he’s m:
Not napping, taking forever to go to sleep, off milk both bottles and breast, whining and whining constantly, the separation anxiety not sleeping for long, waking up every hour and staying up for two 😭. Currently posting this at 4am with my last two brain cells still working. He used to wake up every two hours for a feed and to straight back to sleep no issues which was hard at the start but my body had adjusted but this has completely thrown it all off again. Tonight is the first night I had to walk away and take five to calm myself down as I felt myself getting frustrated and I didn’t want to raise my voice at my baby. I’m one tired mama

I’m right here with you… feels like it’s been going on for weeks. I just need to know when it will end!
I’ve taken to cosleeping partway through the night- I can’t cope with the constant up and down alll night. She slept nearly 4hrs straight next to me in bed last night… the first time in weeks she’s slept so long!

Yes!! I co sleep with my daughter, she turns 9 months on 18th. We had got to a point where she was falling asleep at about 7:30 and waking at 3! Then back to sleep till 6. I couldn’t believe it as she hasn’t been a great sleeper and now she’s up constantly, just moaning and whinging, throwing herself around the bed. Feeding on me… it’s torture. She’s just started nursery so I feel it’s a bit of sep anxiety but when will it end 😟 I go back to work on 2nd June!

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😢💗

Big nursing bras!

I’m looking for recommendations for good nursing bras for bigger breasted ladies!

I’m currently in a 38H which seems to be the biggest size done at M&S (UK based mama here) and it’s snug and not as supportive as I’d like. When I look online, they mainly seem to be sized S, M, L, XL etc rather than bra sizes.

Any recommendations please?

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 😂
