I’m lost

My daughter turns 6 months soon and will not stop crying. She has NEVERRR been like this at all. I put her down, she cries, I hold her, she cries. I am so tired and slowly going insane. I don’t know why she’s so sad. She doesn’t want a bottle, she doesn’t want to play and she doesn’t want to sleep. Someone please tell me this is normal or if I should take her to a doctor

My daughter is similar age and was like this all of last week and usually so so happy, she’s now come out with a cough / cold so could be the same for you or it could be her teeth (try some teething powder to see if it helps?). I guess she just wants her comfort whilst she’s feeling poorly which is similar to what we want when ill.

If it gives you peace of mind take her to get checked by the docs x

So sorry mama. My LO refused daytime naps last week and i felt dead.. so i can only imagine the screaming 🥹

Maybe she's in pain somewhere.. also thinking it could be her teethies. Try calpol.. if she is crying go straight for the big stuff. Also stock up on teething granules and gels. Apparently a bath or a walk outside helps settle them but when you're tired those are the last things you wanna do.

If that fails, definitely GP.

That's a tough time for the mom and the kid. I would just take her to the doctor. At least you can rule out some medical problems. ❤️

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?
