4 month sleep regression

The week leading up to my baby turning 4 months was like everything went out the window?!

teething started so I put sleep stopping due to that, however that’s now calmed down and she just won’t be put down in her crib anymore at night? I tried 6 times last night and in the end just have to carry on co sleeping to get some sleep myself, she use to spend half the night in her crib and up to 3 hours at a time in there before I would resettle her back in there.

Eventually we got as far as just a couple hours in bed in the morning with me and the rest of the night was her crib which took me ages to make that progress….to not being put down atal in there now.

What’s happened and how do I get my baby sleeping back in her crib?! Her day naps also went out the window but they are slowly coming back (much shorter than what they were) but I’m able to pop her down for an hour in her Moses in the day? help 🙃

We used the huckleberry app to help with predicted naps and wake windows.

We also used the Taking Cara Babies 4 month sleep resource with her SITBACK method. 3 nights of hourly wakes and she got through it and has slept through the night ever since.

We implemented a really strict bedtime routine as well which helped immensely.

Its shit and really hard but you'll get through it.

Breastfeeding

Does it ever feel better? The actual feeding part of it is going really well and baby boy is growing so well. I’m struggling with how my boobs feel day to day - it’s really getting me down most days. The let downs make me feel awful and sounds silly but, I am also really missing not wearing a bra! 9 weeks postpartum and still getting fairly engorged, even with comfort pumping.

Any advice or just shared stories would help. I’m so torn between carrying on because I enjoy the feeding side of it or switching to formula.

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?

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?

Strange question

Hello. I would identify myself as asexual but yes i am married and i have a child. But now that ive had my baby. I think its solidified that im done having sex. I feel bad as my partner keeps asking me but i just dont want to. Any advice on what i can do? Any other asexual moms out there? I guess this could be confusing but im not huge on being bound by a label. I have just always felt it represented me best since highschool.

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😢💗
