I’ve finally got my sleep back after 6 years lol, and starting all over again soon! Not looking forward to that part lol

Literally what ive been thinking about. I do miss it a lot

Ugh I dream about this everyday 😭

My little boy is nearly two and has slept through since 10 months- I am due again in June but Its easier knowing that that bit doesn't last forever! You will get your sleep back 🥰

Mine slept through at 9 months and it was bliss, I was pregnant that month and I was up again needing the toilet, then baby came and he sleeps crap lol I've not had a night's sleep or lie in for over 2 years now 😭

Oh god yes!! X

My son is 9 months and has slept 12 hours straight unless he’s ill since he was 3 weeks old

My partner took our LG to visit his family and so I had one night alone at home. It was heaven. I just .... went to bed. When I wanted. I couldn't get over it 🤣 when he was back I kept saying, "dude, I just, I just, took myself off to bed and got into bed 🫢"
Amazing how much you take for granted before babies

Yeah, that’d be lovely!
Doesn’t help that I go to bed late!

I miss even having a 4-5hrs sleep🤣

Best thing I've ever done for my mental health is constantly reminding myself that every stage of sleep is temporary.
I remember the sleep deprivation, it's all consuming. My husband was deployed when my son was going through the 4 month sleep regression and I had no family near by. It was brutal!
Now he is 3 and sleeps 11-13 hours a night straight through! Your time will come, they will eventually sleep, even though at the time it seems a never ending cycle of not sleeping.

Yes yes yes

How much sex a month?

How many times a month in the first year postpartum do you and your husband have sex? (Trying to figure out what the normal range is for partners with a baby!)

UK mums - Do you send your child to nursery in stained clothing?

Some of my daughter's clothes have become so stained and most of these stains have happened while she's been at nursery.

I am struggling so much to get the stains out!

I feel like if I send her in stained clothes I'll be judged or looked at weirdly like I can't afford to clean her clothes or something?

What do you do with stained clothes?

Does anyone have tips for stain removal? Red/orange food (I know sunlight but we're going into winter where it's scarce). Brown knee stains? Just like dirt stains? And yellow curry stains 😣 help me please

Bed suggestions please

This is my 4 year olds bedroom.

Can anyone recommend a bed that would fit in the room but not take all her space ?

She’s 109cm tall not sure if that makes any difference 👀.

She does not have 2 tvs the video was taken whilst re organising😂

Controlling behaviour?

If your partner didn’t force you to go to bed at a certain time, but got annoyed if you went to bed before he was ready or wanted to stay down for longer when he wants to go to bed, would that be considered controlling? Seeing as there’s no forcing involved just getting annoyed by it?

4 month regression

I feel like the worlds worst parent.
My baby is 18 weeks old and has become the lightest sleeper. I have tried sleep training, co-sleeping, feeding to sleep, rocking and patting to sleep but he just wakes up as soon as his head hits the crib. I make sure I he not up to long in the day and go over any wake windows and he lets me contact nap or put him in the najel sleep carrier but that doesn’t work at night. I’m not sure if I didn’t put him down enough when he was smaller and that’s had an effect with this now.
I speak to other mums who babies are the same age and they all sleep through the night.
Can any one tell me what I am doing wrong please. This will be week 4 with hardly a sleep now.

Colic

My 6 week old is showing signs of colic (inconsolable crying in the evenings for hours, brings his legs up / kicks around a lot, arches back). He doesn’t really show signs of reflux.
He also refuses to lay in his crib or sleep on his back.

I was just wondering what people did to help this and your experiences? Should I get some Infacol?
