colic or something else

help, my baby is 5 weeks tomorrow and has been congested the past couple days and super unsettled, has been to the doctors and ruled out any sickness possibly just a little bit of reflux… tonight he has been super unsettled, crying uncontrollably and will only settle when on the boob or has a dummy when he usually doesn’t even take a dummy. has anyone else had anything like this with their bubba ??

Yeah my 11 week old goes through phases where he acts the same way. He’s a fussy baby but it really ramps up when he’s going through a growth spurt/leap. My baby also stared to become really alert at around 4.5 weeks so maybe your bub is experiencing something similar and just going through a lot at the moment. 🩵

I recommend starting baby probiotics!! There are a few different brands. When my son was a newborn he cried every night for a month for hours. Nothing could calm him but after a week of probiotics his stomach really settled and he was no longer uncomfortable. I don’t know if your baby is having those types of tummy issues but always worth a try

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.

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?

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.

What age did you stop breastfeeding?

So I love my breastfeeding journey and I’m not trying to stop anytime soon. My youngest just turned 1. Does anyone have any positive stories to share about their journey and how you dealt with things like biting, dips in supply, or self-weaning?
