Separation anxiety?
My son is 14 months tomorrow and he won’t let me put him down tonight. Since 7pm he’s been waking up and crying every 20 mins. He shares a room with his sister who’s just turned 3 and she’s always been a terrible sleeper.
I normally get her down while my husband gives our son milk and cuddles him to sleep. Once he’s asleep, we put him in his cot but tonight his eyes pinged open as we put him down and every time I’ve given him a cuddle, he seems to fall asleep but wakes crying soon after.
We can’t do controlled crying or sleep training techniques because we can’t risk waking our daughter and having both children awake at night 😫
I’m not sure what to do here.

My daughter wouldnt settle last night honestly screamed and shouted oh for about 45 minutes and again tonight we’ve have the same issue and shes only just gone back to sleep 🫠
Are you sure your son is not teething? Have you tried giving him something to soothe his gums before bed just in case? My son behaves like this when his teeth are bothering him. Or when he needs to poop in that very moment (which he normally doesn’t and maybe that’s why he’s bothered).
Also, how long do you wait before putting him down after he falls asleep in your arm? I try to wait for about 10 mins and that seems to help him continue sleeping 🤷♀️

Mounjaro
Is mounjaro allowed to be taken whilst breastfeeding? I’m not on it yet, but considering it as it’s the only thing that helps me lose some weight due to my health conditions.

Tired 10 weeks postpartum mum needing reassurance from formula-feeding mums 🙏
Hi mums, I’m 10 weeks postpartum and feeling so burnt out. My baby doesn't latch, so I’ve been pumping and mixed feeding. Pumping is exhausting me, and I’m really thinking about quitting.
Because I work in healthcare, the guilt is hitting me hard and I keep overthinking the benefits of breast milk. But my mental and physical health are slipping.
Would love to hear from moms whose babies are 100% formula-fed. Please tell me your formula babies are thriving and that you got your sanity back! Need some reassurance today. 🙏

Struggling with feeding
My little girl is 7.5 weeks and we are struggling with feeding. When she takes the bottle, halfway into a feed she will be hysterically crying and want to continue to eat but keeps pulling off. This happens with the boob but not as much as only feeding boob mainly at night with a few day feeds. She will take the bottle if she’s either tired or distracted. Has anyone experienced this please? It started around 1.5 weeks ago and we are mainly doing pumped breast milk. Hoping this is just a phase 😩

Baby not burping - consequences?
My little one is 5 weeks old and does not wind!! No matter what I do. I try for like 15 minutes and he doesn’t bring anything up, I tend to keep him lying on me after feeding if I can’t wind him and he’s normally ok. There’s been the odd occasion he’s spat up when I’ve led him down but it’s very rare. What is the consequences if he is not burped? It’s stressing me out because surely he has something to bring up and don’t want him being uncomfortable 🙈
