Velcro baby

My baby girl is 14 weeks old. She’s current EBF, although she’s had bottles previously of both formula and breast milk and I do have a stash in the freezer.

Currently, if shes not being held by me she’s crying. Her dad can’t comfort her. She’ll cry if she’s in her buggy, she’ll cry when she’s in her car seat.

We co-sleep mostly because I never managed to get her to sleep in her snuzpod.

I also currently have so much guilt about leaving her at home with her dad, even for short periods of time as I know she’ll be crying the whole time.

I can’t really put her down to nap as she’ll only fall asleep during a contact nap.

I of course love being so close with her and I don’t really have a huge urge to be spending time away from her. However I would like to be able to pop out for an hour to get my nails done without causing her and my husband distress or have a bath without hearing her cry until I’m back with her!

It would also make everyone a lot happier if she could be settled in her pram and the car!

Any advice would be greatly appreciated 🩷🩷🩷🩷

Has anyone else ever seen this ad before??

I am honestly shocked that I keep seeing this ad on Pinterest for such a dangerous product. I've reported it several times, even emailing Pinterest support directly.
I've had them remove my pins and threaten to take down my account over the dumbest stuff yet things that put babies at risk is fine? I was just thinking that maybe if a lot of people report it it will actually make a difference? I'll put the link in the comments, please report it if you have the time.

Sleep help PLEASE

We transitioned our little boy to a floor bed around 12 months and was amazing at the time for him to have extra space etc. He did amazing at not climbing out through the night etc. He went through 14 then 18 month regression and was abit of a struggle but we just had to lay with him to settle him then sneak out. He got over the regression about 3 weeks ago and the past week or so he’s refused to go to sleep unless you’re in his bed with him having a cuddle which I absolutely do not mind, it’s his only comfort he has never taken to a dummy/comforter or teddy.

Since this has started over the past week he’s been waking 3/4 times in the night and opening his bedroom door (we have a stair gate) and crying shouting mammy and daddy until we go lay in his bed to get him back to sleep.

Any tricks/methods to get him back to being able to self soothe and sleep on his own all whilst being in a floor bed? We did sleep training around 4 months in his cot and did the gentle ferber method, he’s never been left to ‘cry it out’ and wouldn’t be able to cope doing that now.

Big bed

Did anyone put their little ones into a Montessori bed or toddler bed early? I’m due my second baby in September and I love our cot and would love to get more use out of it. But my daughter will only be 17 months when baby arrives.

I was thinking of using the cot for the baby/going in the babies room and then getting my girl a Montessori bed but before baby arrives to avoid too many transitions at once.

Wondered if anyone has done the same and it didn’t ruin their sleep ect?

It takes my toddler over an hour to fall asleep for nap and bedtime. What the fuck am I doing wrong

I do my best to get his fucking energy out all day long and it just seems to rile him up more and I do my best to do the cool down calm down and bedtime stories etc but nothing works for this child and I'm starting to worry that he has mental health problems because he can't turn his brain off and I've taught him how and I keep doing it every night. I'm getting worried that I'm screwing up his sleep. He sleeps well otherwise once he's out he's out for like 12 hours every night or more

Did your husband buy you a gift after you had your baby?

Mine didn't even when I was hinting

Help. It’s 10:21 pm and I want to give up. I don’t enjoy being a mom.

My 6 week old baby girl has been crying nonstop today, and nothing seems to soothe her. She’s been really gassy, and we think she might have reflux since she’s also been spitting up frequently. She only wants to stay on the breast as well . Shes been feeding for almost an hour, and every time I try to unlatch her, she starts crying again. Has anyone experienced this or know what might be going on? What can I do to help her ? Am I supposed to just let her suck on my breast for the whole night ? I love my baby so much but I’m so frustrated and wish my baby would stop crying.
