Seperation Anxiety?!
14 month old has always slept well in his cot but this past week is screaming murder whenever he is put in it and will not settle! If he does settle down while I'm in the room, the second I step foot out he is screaming. Will just sit in his cot and cry and screaming for hours which he's never done before. Will only settle on me for a sleep which I've never had to do before and he will wake as soon as I transfer and scream murder, I can only assume its seperation anxiety? Has anyone else experienced this? Any tips or tricks 🥲

Yes. We had this a bit with my son around 9 months and then around the 12 month mark. We didn’t want to initiate holding him to sleep and transferring him, so, we would sit in his room with our hand in his crib and he would hold our hand. Obviously if he was super upset we picked him up and gave him a cuddle, but for the most part holding his hand worked. We had to do that every night for about 3 weeks each time and then we slowly started to move further away from the crib until one night we just left like we always did and he was fine.
Yeah the separation anxiety peaks around 15 months so that tracks. Its rough Im deep in it with you

20 months old who won’t sleep
Hello!
I am struggling with my 20 months old. She’s amazing but when it’s time to go to sleep she just won’t sleep. Napping is almost impossible and bedtime is eternal. It takes me at least an hour to put her to sleep. If I am not literally next to her, she will cry and won’t stop until I come back (she can cry for 30 mins no problem and never get tired). Also she won’t allow my husband to put her to sleep.
I know this is my fault because I didn’t sleep training her correctly when I was supposed to but I keep trying everything and nothing works. Does anyone have any advice on how to teach her to fall asleep?
Thank you for your time!

Huckleberry
So I just need to ask os Huckleberry worth paying for, I need help with my daughter, she has hit the four months stage and last night sent me to the edge, she took over an hour to get her to sleep, I had her asleep around six ISH on me went to transfer after half an hour, and she woke up, checked the app and she needed milk then she went back to sleep around eight ish on me, managed to transfer her to her cot till 10 ISH she had another bottle and went straight back to sleep afterwards but then started fussing around two ISH in the cot eyes closed but whining, I put the dummy in and she went back to sleep and she did this again, still with her eyes closed about half an hour after, then up for four am, had some milk and a nappy change back down near five till eight in the morning, I have been tracking it on huckleberry and wondered if it was worth paying for the premium to get more advice on how to get her to sleep through like she used to, I am going to do a bathing routine three times a week as they not to bathe a baby too much and then I am trying to have wind down times between half six and seven, I am knackered and trying anything but does anyone else's child fuss during the night? Mine does I said before but she doesn't open her eyes or anything so I pop the dummy in to sooth her and try and let her fall back to sleep herself, I watch to see if her eyes open at all. Am I doing this right because I am confused and tired.

I have 3 brain cells and they are all fighting for 2nd place
Hi.
Stupid question as my brain isn’t braining.
My baby is now officially 6m old (happy half birthday!) and I’m wondering what the next step is for using a seat for her bath? She currently has the picture attached and she’s almost grown out of it.
She can’t sit unaided yet, is it the seat I get for her?

Tongue tie
Hi all! our lactation consultant mentioned my baby has tongue tie, although she feeds well, it’s not painful for me and she’s gaining weight. However, she drips lots of milk during the feeds, she often spits up a lot and she’s very gassy. Thus she suggested to cut it next week, when she’ll be three weeks old. I am so scared she will have a nursing strike. My first baby stopped feeding from the breasts after the procedure for so long and I had mastitis. She developed a preference for the bottle but I had no other choice at that time because the pain for me was unbearable. With my second I don’t have this issue and I am scared she’ll stop breastfeeding too! My second never took a bottle. Anyone can share their experience?

Ending breast feeding
We made its 10 weeks exclusively breast feeding just to find out my baby has cmpa and possibly a soy sensitivity and the dietary restrictions are too much. I also don’t mind formula feeding she’s been doing well with it. We started all this in last 3 days. Any advice?
