Hoarse/raspy baby voice — tips?

Has anyone else’s little one has ever gone through a stage where their voice sounded kind of raspy, almost like they were losing it? My baby has been extra fussy the last few days and now her little cries and babbles sound hoarse. We just had her 9-month checkup yesterday and the doctor didn’t mention anything about it, but I’m still curious. Has this happened with your babies? And if so, do you have any tips for making it better or helping them through it? 💗

My baby and I had gotten the flu a while back and her little voice sounded so awful :( there wasn’t much I could do but I offered her lots of sips of bottle, juice, water, just to make sure her throat was staying hydrated. Not sure if it helped but eventually we got better and it stopped sounding so bad. We also used the Abby nose drops to try and relieve running or stopped up noses, potentially helping her throat too. I know my throat gets so sore with drainage so I bet if your little one has a boogie nose maybe that could be why!! Teething seems to always disrupt the peace of the baby too lol. Maybe new toofies!

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

My little one is struggling with sleep

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?

When do things get easier?

As we entered the 9-12 month stage, my son started crawling and pulling himself up. He also became more clingy and does not play alone, still doesnt sleep through the night, and this week has been sick (so EVERYTHING amplified). I am tired and overwhelmed. Please lie and tell me things get better. 🥺

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

4 month bed time

What time do you put your babies to bed?
What time do you start your 'routine?'
My LO currently goes to bed around 10.30pm, and I know i need to start bringing it forward. Everytime ive tried, it takes longer for my LO to settle.
We are exclusively breastfeeding. Any advice Mamas?

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 🤣
