Transfer frustration

My baby is waking up 4-5 times a night at the moment and is taking about an hour and multiple failed transfers to get him down after each wake. Sat on my bed crying right now holding him after 2 frustrating failed transfers! Feel at the end of my tether.

Anyone else in the same boat?

Yes! Some nights are worse than others, sometimes she goes straight down and stays down other times I’m up for 2 hours 6+ failed attempts at which point I just bring her into bed. You’re not alone and this doesn’t last forever just remember that ❤️

We have been struggling with this for around 5 weeks now (baby is 17 weeks) and it also lead to many tears so you aren’t alone! My goal is to settle her in the crib rather than keeping picking her up so she learns it’s a safe space to sleep in, so shushing, rocking the crib, rocking her, getting close to her without picking her up so she feels secure, gently whispering that it’s time to sleep. If she’s properly crying this doesn’t work and I pick her up, but if it’s not if a fussing then after a while she tends to go to sleep. It can take 15-20 mins but better than the 2ish hours we were spending previously.

You’re not alone! So many nights I end up crying in fustration and tiredness desperately trying to remind myself it’s not his fault and he’s not doing it on purpose. Fingers crossed it’ll be over soon!

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?

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?
