Burnt out.
Will my child EVER sleep thru the night again? My now 10 month old has been waking up for the past month I believe 2-3 times a night, he has been unwell the last few days and prior to that he was up. I was co sleeping didn’t really help so anyone who asks if I’ve tried that, there’s the answer 🤣
He does have teeth coming, I have been giving teething gel and massaging, singing, comforting, feeding thru the night. Tonight he got up and was just whining like not even crying, he noticed the cot mobile and played with that. I got up to make milk bc I can’t carry him and do anything now, he’s heavy! He started screaaaaming, I got him and just sat on my bed, it’s one of the reasons I’ve been struggling a lot mentally bc I’m just SO TIRED from disturbed sleep, it makes me so snappy and ugly. Does it get better? He was such a good sleeper straight thru the night from 4 months old if I remember correctly, I just need at least 7 hours straight man. It’s getting to a point where I’m doubting myself if I’m even built to be a mum bc why is this so frustrating he’s my child and I’m supposed to be his safe place 😞💔

My 10 month old wakes 3-4 times a night every single night and has done since birth. Only way i can settle him is with the boob. Its brutal. Esp when I also have a 4 year old. However my 4 year old is evidence that it doesnt last forever. I have days where im like “its ok, i can do it, its what he needs right now” then days where im just like “go to f*cking sleep” 🤣
Hang in there x
I also have a 10 month old who has never slept through the night and is awake upwards of 4 times a night. And I have a 2 year old too. It’s hard and sleep deprivation is brutal. Like above, I know it’s hard to hear when you’re exhausted but I promise it does get easier and you will sleep again.
Not sure if this helps but the last two weeks my girl has been waking through the night about 4 times just crying out. I think teething or growing pains. And then last night she's just slept through! No change to our routine. It probably won't happen again tomorrow night but at least I know she can do it. Hopefully that gives you hope your boy will sleep through again!
My little one who is about to be 10 months old never slept through the nights and teething made it even worse and he always wakes up early and wants to play. I am going back to work next week, and I am scared how I am going to manage without sleep.
Currently going through this as well, mine has always been a good sleeper and couple weeks ago we had an awful week where she kept waking up every couple hours 😩 she has got a lot better this last few days only waking at midnight and 4am but I think she’s cutting 4 teeth at once 😢
Bless you, usually after the teeth are coming the baby settles down. Although now I’m wondering, baby waking 2-3 times a night is a luxury for me and sleeping 5 hour at night interrupted was the best sleep I could hope for ever since the baby was born. When it’s bad it’s usually 5 times, maybe more of waking up and always takes 1 hour to fall asleep for my baby and for me so I thought this was normal for everyone. I can’t believe sleeping through the night was even possible 😅

Gripe Water
Has anyone else dealt with this? My 7-week-old struggles every night to pass gas, grunting and kicking for hours starting at 2:00 AM. It's making sleep impossible for both of us! Has anyone tried gripe water,or other remedies, and did you actually see results? Would love to hear what worked for you. We do have Infacol but cannot really see improvement.

Period return- combi-feeding
I’m 8.5 weeks pp and my period has just come back. I am combi-feeding (50% breastmilk and 50% formula). Does this timeline seem normal? I don’t know why I was expecting longer before it came back 😭

Cold sore and baby is two weeks old
I have a tingling on my lip and I’m thinking it’s the start of a cold sore as has been the case in the past. Has anyone had this before?? How did you protect your baby from exposure? I don’t know how best to protect him. I’ve obviously stopped kissing him, but I was kissing him today before I felt this tingle. I’m worried about spreading this to him and exposure he may have already had. Is it overboard to contact the GP?
I’ll be getting patches tomorrow but want to make sure I’m doing everything I can, so if anyone has any suggestions thanks in advance!
I feel so guilty and awful that I may have exposed him. It’s second nature to kiss him now so I’m struggling a little and I’m worried I’ll slip up. I’m so angry I have to worry about this. Thanks to my grandma when I was young, I was exposed and now I have to deal with this. To those mummas saying no to people kissing their babies, keep saying no you’re doing what’s best for them!

Own room
When did you move your baby into their own room. My LO is 5 and a half months old and I have a cold currently and I'm just constantly waking her up in the night . Is it okay to move her separately

What does pelvic floor therapy involve ?
I’m not sure if I need to shave or if I’m peeing on myself a little.
