My daughter is 7 months old and I feel like we’ve not moved forwards with sleep since the 4 month regression. She wakes up every 45 minutes and is sooo hard to transfer to her crib.
When she wakes she will only be settled by me (more like my boob)
It’s tiring, lonely and I feel like this has been going on forever!

Before the 4months regression, my baby would sleep for 5 hours, sometimes 7. I would be so happy as it means I’m getting ample amount of sleep.
Ever since the 4 months regression, it’s been bad. The highest is 3hrs sleep and only gets back to sleep with breast 🥲 when does this end

Yes we’re with you too 😩 we’re finally getting some 3-4 hour stretches at the start of night so I’ve been going to bed with her to get some rest but it’s rough, didn’t realise their sleep would stay this bad 😭

Exactly the same, and was sleeping through the night before the 4 month regression 🥲that’s now a distant memory!

Absolutely 😭 4 month regression hot a bit later for us at 5 months. Then day time naps are a challenge she just screams and won't go down 😩exhausted mama . It's just constant isn't it. You're not alone ❤️

Thank you ladies for your replies. Although inning wish it upon others it is comforting to know it’s not just me in the middle of the night. The most be have got with a first stint is 1.5 hours. Wasn’t even enough for me to finish an episode of bridgerton 😂😂

Yes also the same! I co sleep as she’s up so frequently to BF. Struggling to get anything done during the day including weaning / washing up when she now won’t go down for a nap!

Has anyone had any progress with this??! Honestly I feel like it’s gotten worse 😳
We live in a small village and the 2 nearest cities are around 45 minutes from us. Seems silly to get the baby out for the sake of 15 minutes

Hey everyone, looking for advice on navigating some tough stepfamily dynamics.
My partner and I have been together for a while. There was a lot of drama with his ex at the beginning, so the kids didn't like me initially. I get why the transition was hard, but we're running into a wall now that I gave birth.
The 12-year-old daughter has been super moody and upset about the pregnancy, especially stressing over whether it's a girl (we waited till I gave birth to find out the gender). On a recent FaceTime (which included the ex and the 17yo son), she literally sat in the background the whole time texting, ignoring us completely.
It really unsettled me especially the thought of her resentment if I had a daughter. I gave birth to a baby boy but still.
How do you guys handle stepkids who are openly resentful about a new baby, and how do you set boundaries with FaceTime calls when the ex is involved? Any advice is appreciated!

So recently my 2 year old has learned that he gets mad/ frustrated . Some girl took the ball from him like 2 times and the 3rd time he got mad and kinda growled but like when you’re mad. Then I bought him Legos and he’s learning some pieces are hard to stick together well he built a tower and screamed I’m mad right now ! And I told him it’s ok take a deep breath and let’s pick them up. And I just started reading tiny humans big emotions. Now I guess I better hurry up but for now how do you guys handle situations like these especially in public I know it starts at home but I need advice for both just so I don’t tell him the wrong thing and make him feel like he can’t cry or have feelings

Last night was one of the most frightening and emotionally overwhelming nights I’ve experienced in a long time, and I’m honestly not sure what to do.

Just fully changed vest and pjs number 4 or 5 in 24 hours oh myyyyyy. Between sneaky pees while changing nappy, poop or pee leak, and spit ups my washing is crazy! Usually 2 sleeping bags and at least 1 new sheet per each night also due to spit ups in bed 😖😖😖 ps spit ups are small but somehow with angle he soaks his whole arm so I have no choice… And of course they HATE the changing and scream!
