Anyone else??

I love holding my baby so much that it sucks that I have to put her down but she’s 21 lbs. and my feet and back just don’t let me sometimes. My hand falls asleep to. I have to hold her during day naps as well because it’s the only way she falls asleep. We’re slowly trying to stop by laying her down in her bassinet after 20-30 mins but the most time she’s stayed in there has been 2-3 hours max about 4,5 times. She mostly does 5 to 10 mins.

We cosleep and I have to latch her most of the time so she falls asleep or rock her. Rocking was our old normal but now it’s latching. The thing is that she won’t really latch during the day now either and at night she randomly wants so much more milk than what I can give her so if she doesn’t fall asleep on the boob, she arches when I try to rock her. I’m not doing the cry out method. Just want to know if anybody else is going through this.

*also every little noise wakes her up*

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. 🥺

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?

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 🤣

Colostrum storing?

Has anyone successfully extracted colostrum before the baby’s born? Apparently it gets produced from 16w pregnant and you can start storing it in the freezer but I’m 34w looking at my nipples and the syringes on amazon wondering how it works?? Like what did you use and did it hurt? 🥲
