Is anyone else struggling? I haven’t slept in days. She’s gone from sleeping 9-10 hour stretches to up every hour. I’m so exhausted. I suffer from anxiety and I need sleep otherwise it triggers me and I have panic attacks. How long will it last? I’m soothing, giving a dummy, I put her down awake but drowsy, she’ll drop off for an hour max. I’m trying so hard to not show my panic as I know it’ll rub off on her but I genuinely cannot take this anymore.. how long is this going to last? Is it up to 6 weeks? Even a longer stretch for the first sleep will do me but I can’t even get that.. she’ll only contact nap in the day so I can’t even get a nap in then. Please help me

Hi girly praying for you🫶🏻💓

I am in the same boat then he’s up and buzzed for the day at 4am it’s draining I’m not okay
Praying as soon as he hits 5 weeks the longer stretches come back 😩

Week 5 here even with co sleeping it's absolutely brutal ! Feel like iv been hit by a bus .. I can't see an end at the moment and sleep wasn't great before so I couldn't imagine he could get this bad c

Wow I didn’t even think about sleep regression this makes sense as to why mine isn’t sleeping! Partially teething too?? Won’t feed in the day hardly and night time feeds like there’s no tomorrow it’s hard!

Might sound silly but what does your little one sleep in, sleep bag or anything? Do you use white noise/red light? Do you have any kind of routine of an evening?
Not saying your not trying things just wondering what it looks like for you xx

We’re on our 5th week of this now and it’s been tough! Just when I thought it couldn’t get any worse, at one point she was up after half an hour and wouldn’t go back to sleep for hours. However, last night she did a 5 hour stint so I feel like there is light at the end of a very dark tunnel. It’s an awful phase, but it will get better! Xx
My partner does his own washing (great!) and I do mine and our toddler’s.
Sometimes I put toddler’s clothes straight in the washing machine if they are ditched, with a view that I’ll do a load later.
But this morning, my partner needed to do a load of washing and instead of washing our toddler’s clothes with his (toddler had a vest, jumper, and a top), my partner took our toddler’s clothes out, put them on the side, so he could wash his own clothes???
Why not just chuck our toddler’s clothes in with his?
This has happened twice now and he’s never washed our toddlers clothes

My period still hasn’t returned an my baby turned one last month! I kinda thought it would have returned by now.. a couple weeks ago I got symptoms that had me thinking I may be ovulating but still no period. Even took a pregnancy test today just to make sure. Anyways, if you did get yours was it after you cut down on breastfeeding sessions or eliminated overnight feeds? My baby has only ever fed at breast never taken a bottle but he took right to solids at 6 months and now eats lots. He maybe breast feeds once or twice throughout the day but still wakes overnight a few times and I nurse him back to sleep.

Any advice/tips on weeing after birth? I had my baby girl yesterday and I’ve got a second degree tear, very close to third degree. I’m in so much pain with going to the toilet. I’ve got a peri bottle and spritz for bits for after but has anyone got any other recommendations that helps the stinging? I’m drinking lots of water to make sure my urine isn’t concentrated too
