Wow just wow

Anyone else’s 8 months just turned into a different baby the last few weeks? I know we’re in leap 6 and around the 8 month sleep regression but my goodness. He just doesn’t stop crying 😭

I'm so glad this came up on my notifications because YES. I had no idea why he was being like this until I've just checked my wonder weeks, it's been horrific. I feel for you!

this is reassuring!! It’s been hell. No matter what I do….. he’s screaming and crying 😭

Avatar

Yep!
My lg was born early October (was born at 42 weeks) and the last few weeks have been hard.. Fighting naps, fussy with milk, crying if I'm not in touching distance.
Luckily the last few days she seems to be better so I'm hoping she's out of it

OMG yes! We can't stick to our routine at all 😭

I hope our end is in sight soon, it’s a tough one 😭 it’s all to do with the separation anxiety I think…. As soon as I move an inch away it’s the end of the world!

Avatar

it’s so hard. We can stick to routine and luckily naps and night isn’t impacted too much (touch wood!) it’s just his overall mood in the day, it makes the days soooo long 😢

Avatar

it should only last a few weeks so hopefully we'll see the end of it soon!

Ah is this why mine seems to be feeling all the feelings?

Avatar

most likely. Mine is an angry so and so at the moment 😭 😂

he wont be put down at the moment, even if its sitting right next to me, and at bedtime hes fighting so much and transferring him is risky business! Xxx

Oh my Christ yeah. I don't know what to do with her. I can't leave the room, she can't go from me at all. Used to be able to switch my boob out for dummy but now she absolutely will not.
Nightmare to get her down for naps or sleep 😩😩😩

Mine wants to be with me always. Which is sweet but not practical to hold her all day when she weighs 2 stone!!

Avatar

it’s honestly the worst stage yet I think! Xx

Hey, my baby turned 8 months 5 days ago. But for the last 3 days he’s giving less eye contact and not responding to his name or me singing. I’m getting worried or is this normal. He was fine before this

Sleeping bag

8 week old in sleeping bag for first time as big enough! Do you feed your child in the night whilst in the sleeping bag or taken them out, feed then transfer back to sleeping bag before putting down?

Leaky nappy help

What nappies are you using to stop leaks?? We use pampers ultra dry size 5, and for the past few nights he has lashed through and we’ve had to completely change him during the night. Last night he leashed through twice!! He sleeps on his front and stays leaks through at the top of his leg where the tabs connect. Didn’t know whether to size up, he has a bit of a belly on him but he’s smack in middle of weight guidance so shouldn’t need too

Hey! I'm in need of some advice please girls! My little boy is 20 months turns 21 months in 2 half weeks. He use to sleep through the night now he is waking up every single night in the early morning, I've had to transition him to a toodler bed as he kept climbing out his cot. Just need some advice on what I can do to help him get back in to a sleep pattern?

6 month old autistism

My 6 month old makes no eye contact with me and doesn’t respond when I call him. Can this just be a phase or personality trait as apposed to autism

New born

Finally had my baby girl via C-section on the 18th, everything has been so far. But I’ve noticed she’s very fussy and cries a lot. I’ve been trying to exclusively breastfeed. The lactation consultant at the hospital said I did look like I’m making enough milk for her. She was latching on good at the hospital and now here at home, she doesn’t seem to want to latch at all. She’s been crying a lot and very fussy. I’m just wondering is she’s colic or like maybe she just doesn’t want the breast anymore?

5.30am wakeups 😫😴

My 15 week old has started waking up about 5.30am and is really hard to settle back down - it’s like he thinks it’s time to wake up for the day. He used to go to bed at 9pm and was up at 8am but now he goes to bed between 7.30-8pm as he’s knackered by then but waking up at 5.30am😴. Any advice to get him to sleep a little longer in the morning?! Even an extra hour would be lovely 🤣
