Screaming 4 1/2 month old

Anyone else have a screaming 4 1/2 month old? I’ve tried everything to soothe him (pacifier, feeding, sleep, nappy change, bath, play and a walk) but nothings working😩 I can’t tell if he’s teething or if there’s something else bothering him. He screams even louder at his dad. I need advice and help please☹️

Over tired ?

Avatar

At 4 months I realised my baby’s bed time was too late . When she was crying in the evening she was already over tired.

I started to put her down for 5pm (very early I know ) but it stopped the evening cries. So as soon as the moaning and grumpiness started - straight to bed

Clocks changing + late wake up

My LO woke up around 8.30am (would have been 7.30am obv) which feels illegal 😂 although there are definitely worse problems to have and wondering how to work naps now?
He normally naps twice a day and has 1.5 hours for each, although sometimes will have a longer nap in the morning and then a shorter one in the afternoon. His wake windows are around 3/3.25/3.5 so it’s going to be a late bedtime as it stands.
Thoughts? Should I cap his naps so I can put him to bed earlier and get things back on track or just let things take their course? He’s likely to eventually get back to an earlier wake up anyway.

Dry/damaged hair on a 1 year old

Hey mommas, looking for a little advice here! My son is 15 months old, and his hair is doing this funky thing – it's wavy and curly on top and at the very ends, but the hair at the back is super dry, almost like hay, and looks kinda damaged. I did a little digging online, and it seems like it could be from friction while he's sleeping, so I'm thinking of getting some silk pillowcases. I'm wondering if anyone knows if this will get better over time, or if we'll just have to cut it off eventually? Also, any recommendations for products that might help? I'm already using hair oil every day, and that helps a little. Thanks in advance for any tips!

Who does the nighttime wake ups?

Very curious how others deal with this in their families. Much respect to all the single mums or mums who dont get proper help. I have always done it 100% on my own and am sick to death of it. Been told men just like dont wake up to cries. Yeah I get that but not a single time in a last year, surely im not crazy to think thats not right?

My 4 month old is growing 4 teeth, I’m worried she will bite my nipples off, has this happened to any of you breastfeeding mums?

She’s exclusively breastfed and it feels like it’s too soon to introduce her to solids and take the boob away. Are there any other options for me and my girl?

Hi,

Just wondering if anyone has any tips regarding my toddlers hair it just doesn’t grow or in-fact grows at an incredibly slow rate. I have tried massage oils already etc… just looking for more suggestions.
