When will it end???

Whoever said sleep is overrated must have been high!!!

I am soooo tired. My boy will not stop waking up every 1-2 hours through the night and is up at 5.30 every morning. He cries all day apart from when he’s got a bottle in his mouth or asleep and even then he manages to cry. I honestly don’t know how much longer I can take. It’s been about 3 weeks now. My daughter was never like this, and if she was I could sleep in the morning when she did. She’s 2 next month and has the energy of a hamster in a ball so there is no stopping. 😭😭😭

There is no time line that I know of for it to end, but it will get better.
My girl is 5 1/2 months now & since 4 months she was like that, but she now this week been sleeping 12 hours with only waking about 3 times one time for comfort & 2 times to feed & it so much better we are all getting rest.
She was something crying so loud in her sleep & it was so scary, that has slowly started to fade now as well.
After 5-6am I co sleep so we can make it till 7am to get a little more rest. That is of course your choice if you are comfortable with doing that, but it helps us!
You will make it through this!
One thing I had to do was nap with baby every chance I could during the day & I also went to bed the same time she did during that time period, now I’m able to stay up a bit later since we are finally sleeping again.

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

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?

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?

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

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 🤣
