My son begged for it all cut off for summer lol n screamed the whole time 😭 I just let it happen, but he might be better with another person. My son will let my friends wash n brush his hair without fighting 😂

We showed him the clippers dont hurt first by putting it on my arm running, then his arm. He was nervous at first but calmed down when he realized it doesn't hurt

I usually put on a movie and offer fruit snacks for after, since I never really offer them. So it's a special treat. I also ask my (now) 4 year old if he wants me to do a fast haircut (all one size for the sides and a higher size for the top), or if he wants a cool haircut like Dada (a fade). He's been choosing the fade, even though it takes longer. Sometimes my husband has to hold his head so he doesn't wiggle, but at least he doesn't cry haha

I cut my boy’s hair while he is sleeping. He want let me near him while he is awake and he has figured out how to bob and weave the clippers and grabs my arms and tells me “no mommy” had to get smart and just catch him while sleeping lol I use cutting shears so I don’t make too much noise
We’ve recently moved our toddler to a single bed with a duvet for the first time. She’s manages to stay under the duvet for the first 4 hours then doesn’t have the duvet on. Currently she’s at the other end, on top of the duvet.
Will she eventually stay under?

Hi,
I’m really stressed because my mum is telling me not to get my child vaccinated with the 1 year jabs. My baby has already had the first 3 jabs but she’s really trying to get me to not get him vaccinated. I would like real opinions please. Has anyone here not had their baby jabbed? Please don’t think I’m silly for writing this, first time mum here so everything is so scary and new. Thank you!

My baby just will not stay settled at night. Just gone 6 weeks old. I can transfer her from me to cot fine after a feed, then within 15mins she is fussing and unsettled, reflux, being sick, wakes herself up then is crying or wide awake. This goes on for 2hrs until she then starts fussing for a feed 2hrs after the last feed.
I literally cannot get any sleep
Seems thats everyone else's baby sleeps better. I have a 4 yr old and had horrendous sleep with him to for 2 yrs. Why is it happening to me again, I actually said I'd never have another child due to the such bad sleep if my 1st child, then convinced myself it'd be better 2nd time
..and its not proving that way. I cant catch a break 😥
Ive tried everything to make her settle and she wont

Been awake for over an hour - baby was changed and fed but now won’t go back down in the next to me as he’s so congested and he won’t settle laying flat.
I’m exhausted and so sleep deprived yet husband is lying next to me SNORING his head off and it’s making my blood boil.

Our 6 week old baby will sleep incredibly well on us (for most of the night, we split shifts) but she won’t go down in her cot at all for longer than
20 mins (if we’re lucky). She also will only nap on us during the day.
We’ve tried a few things but looking for any tips/advice!

Anyone else’s little one been hit by sleep regression like a ton of bricks? 🙃.
Baby girl was sleeping so well then this past week has been struggling, last night was WILD. We are currently running on caffeine and vibes 😅✌️.
We can do this mamas.
