Maybe try individual and/or family therapy? Maybe she just needs an impartial space to share feelings.

Ya maybe. Do u an her dad get on,?

Most likely she struggles with the change. She may find it difficult to transition from her father back to you. When she returns, she may feel back in her trusted environment where she can unleash feelings and tension (similar when they come home from day care). It’s hard not to see it that way but she would not be doing this deliberate.

Having a good transition ritual when your daugther comes over might help a lot. Your ex is probably saying negative things about you while she's at his house. She needs time to decompress & release that toxicity before she can engage with you normally. On transition days, maybe give her some time in the backyard then come back together for some quality time (a quick card game or board game) before you dive into homework, chores, or other high demand activities. Once you find something that works, being consistent with it should be a big relief for her. If it's not a transition day, and she's saying something in a mean or disrespectful tone, let her know that's too harsh & give her a chance to have a do-over. Give her options of what to say if she's stuck. Have you heard of Samantha Boss? She has a lot of content about coparenting in high conflict divorce that highlights the child's perspective. You might find something there that would give you more insight & ideas for how to approach different situations.
Hey mummies and daddies, has anybody got experience with baby not getting used to nursery? My daughter started at 12 months (a month ago) and still has a meltdown every time we drop her off. How long until it settles? I worry that she’s just not happy there :(

Is 2-3h sleep still normal for 6 weeks old? I thought they'd longer stretches by now

Gave birth 3 days ago, very traumatic. Lost a lot of blood, didn’t get induced as planned.
Girl is very sensitive to startle reflux, we have had 1.24 hours sleep last night as she won’t settle in her next to me crib.
We have tried swaddling which didn’t work and a grow bag. She is doing it every 30 seconds and scares herself. Bottled fed as BF for the first 2 days after birth but I cannot continue. Does anyone have any solutions?

Hate to be this person as I see so many babies/mamas on here being affected by this sleep regression but my baby is 20 weeks on Thursday and so far, we haven’t really struggled with nighttime sleep, she sleeps through and has done since 10 weeks. We are only really struggling with daytime naps (being super short). Has the nighttime sleep regression been delayed for any one else? Or have I just got really lucky?

Not sure whether anyone’s in the same boat, but I’m on about week 5 of sleep regression! LO is 4.5 months, his daytime naps are mostly ok, he’s sleeping from around 7:30/8pm until midnight/1am ish, then from 2ish he’s up every hour? Not seeking feeds just cuddling and rocking back to sleep.
He woke up at 5am for an hour and a half this morning, then slept 6:30-7:30, now seems to want a nap again? I follow his cues and he sleeps/ naps on demand. We have a bedtime routine of bath, story and feed.
He’s exclusively breastfed and we’re co sleeping for now to get through this rough patch (he is completely rejecting his NTM crib).
I know that they struggle to tie their sleep cycles together esp early hours of the morning, so it makes sense as to why this is happening but I guess I’m just looking for some advice (I mention it to family but just get the typical “try formula and putting him in his crib, try a higher tog sleeping bag he might be cold”. ) We have tried one bottle of formula before, it didn’t work and tbh I don’t want to give him formula yet!
Thankyou!!
