Hardest stage yet

I love my little boy to death but my god the 4-6 month stage is killing me off!
I did struggle with the newborn stage being a new mum but wow bring back my newborn 😭

Naps no more than 40 minutes at a time,
He use to sleep through now wakes up 1/2 times a night and wants to start the day at 6am 😴
Screaming like a banshee, loves to roll about but hates the fact he can’t crawl yet and makes it known 😂
cannot be kept entertained for more than 10 minutes at a time.
Doesn’t want to be held sometimes but doesn’t want to be put down (I can’t win 😅)
If it wasn’t for his cheeky personality and the smiles/belly laughs I think I would have lost my mind at this point!

Please tell me I’m not alone 🥲

You’re not alone I’m in the absolutely trenches with my little girl, she’s 5 months next week 😫
Was sleeping through a few weeks ago now she’s up 2-3 times every night again, starts the day at 6am and is very cranky! I cried loads yesterday coz it just feels like I’m doing something wrong but apparently it’s normal for them to be like this at this age 😩

Standing???

Anyone else’s 7 month old standing up and trying to take steps??? My son can fully stand without support and is now trying to take steps. I feel like it’s too early?…

Excuse the mess, I’m doing a late night deep clean and he’s doing the opposite of helping 😂

Deodorant

Ladies what deodorant are we all using?

Since the sun has finally remembered to exist and we've been going on more walks I STINK. I smell like I've been laying on the beach in the sun covered in oil all day. All just after going for a walk.

I know a lot of people struggle with this postpartum but it's so embarrassing!

I just can't seem to find one that works for me?

Help!?!

Sleeping 5 months

My baby is 5 months today, his been a wake up once a night for milk since 3 months old. Very luckily i know. For the last couple of days we are having lots of waking up but his moan crying( not crying crying) if that makes sense. If we give him a cuddle he will happily be straight asleep in seconds.

Have we hit the 4 month sleep regression late?
Anyone else in this phase?
We are also teething could it be this?
Help and suggestions please

Thank you in advance

Waking baby up for their last feed?

Hi guys. So my baby was due in October but born in September, he is now 6 months old. It's nearly 11:45 and hes still asleep, I'm not sure whether to wake him for his night feed or let him sleep? He does usually wake himself up but think he may be getting full? Any help is appreciated 😊

Regression

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
