Yes, today my little girl has been the same as your baby! App says she entered a few days ago but it’s definitely in full swing today.

Mines still in leap 2 but is going into 3 in about a week and she’s been cluster feeding constantly for the past 3 days, fussy and not sleeping long enough, naps are a myth and she’s so clingy to me and hates being alone. I’ve been trying to fold a small pile of clothes since 11am and it’s now 4pm and still not finished but I just keep reminding myself that it’s temporary

Im supposed to enter it tomorrow 😭😭 i hope it will be mild on him.
Good luck to all of us i guess! ♥️

Very Moangy today after napping ! Wouldn’t let go of me

Mine is about to finish in 2 days. No wonder why my baby has been so fussy and cat napping. Plus he screams like murder in the car seat😭😭

omg is that what it is? hes been extra clingy

Mine was due to enter leap 3 today and was super clingy and grumpy yesterday, he's over it today though!

We are on the last day of the fussy stage of leap 3 and the last two days have been a nightmare I can’t wait to move on to some happy days

Has anybody looked at leap 4🫣🥴

1) Guys i need some reasurance:
He entered the fussy time yesterday and the day was a bit hard, he didnt fall asleep on time, got overtired and cat naps, but i thiught maybe it was my fault for missing the sleepy cues. We also had two incidents: i cut his finger a bit while clipping his nails and he started screaming and crying like i had never seen in my life. Also we were “chatting” and i made a loud noise: he got scared and started also screaming. I felt heartbroken, he usually doesnt cry too much.
The night was pretty ok, he fed and slept normally so i thought maybe the leap isnt affecting him.
Well today we had the worst day. He did not fall asleep, was overtired, and everytime he would wake up wailing. its breaking my heart to see him like this. He wakes up after 20 minutes just screaming and its taking longer than usual to help him settle. Is this the leap? I keep trying to focus on this but i also hear the voice behind my ear saying that there is something wrong with him 😭😭🥺

When does it get better?

I was crying on the phone with the perinatal mental health team today and the lovely lady, bless her, kept assuring me that it gets better. I kept telling her I hope so because people have been saying that since having my LO and it just feels like it keeps getting worse. She assured me it gets better....

Rant/WWYD

My sister (youngest, 24) has two kids, 4 & 1, and i (oldest, 30) just have my one who’s 6mo old right now, so i ask her for advice or call her to vent about things sometimes. Well im tired of her turning around and telling my other family members that I’m “losing my sh*t.” Literally have not lost my sh*t nor have i ever freaked out to her about my baby, i just call her to talk and tell her what stage my baby is in or talk through how im feeling, but she chooses to tell people that im like a complete nutcase or something which worries me that my family is going to start being judgmental about me as a mother or looking at me funny like I’m some fragile ticking time bomb.

What would you do in this situation? I’m already pretty much decided that I’ll stop telling her anything about my struggles, but I’m almost at the point where i feel like it should be confronted because she, of all people, should understand what I’m going through.

Not drinking

I’m going crazy. Baby born at 2.26kg. Slow to put on weight. This last week hasn’t put on any. Been trying to feed him at night and he’s not interested at all. Fast asleep. During day he will have 5 minute gulps and that’s it. He don’t cry for milk. I’ve got to keep offering to him. I try to offer it every hour but I don’t know what I’m doing. HV said nutrition comes after 5 minutes so I should pump first and then give him. I find it so hard. I tried to pump one boob nothing came. The other abit came. Tried giving him express he’s not interested in that too. Sometimes he will go for a longer a feed but not long at all. He’s 4 months and is currently 5.46kg. I have no family or friend support here and wish I had a cook, cleaner and nanny to help with everything so I can concentrate on the little one. I don’t know what’s wrong with him but I’m loosing it. It doesn’t help that my also stressed generally about my relationship and life circumstances. Any advice that will work. Any comfort you can give. I’m fed up. Is this regression - not feeding. He’s fast fast asleep. I’ve been trying to push the nipple in but that mouth is closed shut. I took some clothes off. Changed his nappy but he’s still asleep. Please help

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?

Has anyone died their kids hair a fun color and have any recommendations for kid friendly hair dye that actually works and stays in the hair for a bit? 👀👀👀

She has 3b brown hair and wants kpop demon hunter purple

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
