Mine !!!
Mine! This past week he's been a terror
Yes!!!! My partner said earlier he is on the verge of cracking because all shes doing is crying x
Yep. He doesn't like playing or doing anything during his wake windows. Always fussing.
Yes. I also had this with my first. Infacol and introducing a dummy helped with the wind and he naturally grew out of it at about 12 weeks. My newborn is fussing and looking uncomfortable without the crying and I’m trying dairy free in case it’s that
I’m so glad I’m not alone. My first was like this also but you forget how draining it is. Like Harriet said they start to settle around 12 weeks. We are nearly there ladies!😩🤞🏻😴
Constantly! Shes non stop fussy at the min and even fusses and cries whilst on the boob, is it the terrible 2 months?
Yes exactly with mine 🥲
Yes! Slept today 9am til 1pm then didn’t sleep again till 730 tonight!! Wouldn’t settle and everytime be dosed off he woke within a minute. Currently dream feeding to long out the night feed x
Yes! 7 weeks today and the past few days have been hell. She’s been awake since 6pm this evening and still not asleep yet 🫠
Guys try a 8 min bath it will change your life! Shes actually sleeping after it. I dont know why 8 mins but it works !

Cough at night..
Has anyone’s little one got a cough that only affects them at night? This started after my LO had a cold and temp but we are now on week 3 with no other symptoms but a cough that only affects her at night. She’s had 2 lots of croup medication and it hasn’t worked so they don’t think it’s that. I’ve taken her to the doctors 3 times and mentioned I’m worried about asthma but they just keep saying it will go. My LO is such a good sleeper and I feel so guilty she’s not getting good quality sleep and I don’t know how else to help her. We have tried her on a tilt, used vapour rub, she has a diffuser in her room, nasal spray, olbas patches. She is 2.5 years. Has anyone else had this or found something to help?

Baby doesn’t cry if I leave
Hi so this may seem a bit weird but my baby doesn’t get upset if I leave him with someone else. He doesn’t cry or anything. He seems happy when he sees me again though but I was just wondering as I was reading a post that said that babies like that could be unattached? If that is even a thing. Is this normal? Am I doing something wrong? Also do I sound weird 😣

Naps
How do you get your babies to nap in the day? What’s the process… do you rock then lay down for example once asleep? My son only likes napping in the carrier or if I do manage to put him down I have to rock until asleep, lay down on his side and tap his bum but independent naps don’t last long at all. I want to get him napping better on his own but the process is so long!!!!

Pulling at her ear ?
My daughter keeps pulling at her ear ? I’m unsure why she keeps doing it any help ?

I’ve made a rod for my own back 😩
My baby girl is almost 11 weeks old and over the last week or so her false starts at night have gotten worse! Once she is asleep at night she generally only wakes once or twice for a little feed, but it can take hours to get to that point.
I just want to soak it all up so the ‘1 nap a day in the bassinet’ hasn’t been happening consistently, so I know this is the first thing to start doing.
At bedtime (whatever that is 🥴) I am feeding, changing, and rocking her to sleep and then transferring - which again, I know isn’t helping the false starts.
I just cannot let her get so upset/distressed before sleeping! How do I make these changes without just leaving her to work out that she needs to sleep?
Any tips would be much appreciated!
From one tired mumma and one cuddly baby 🥹
