Could the baby the gassy? If so, try the bike cycle legs. Rub his belly counter clock wise. Alot of Walking back and forth, white noise maybe

Also try a shower, babies like showers or going outside but sometimes babies just get over tired and will not stop crying until they pass out from exhaustion

My pediatrician said if my son was inconsolable for over an hour (screaming and won’t stop) and he’s been fed/changed/burped ect than to take him to the emergency room. (Advice given to me he’s an infant tho 2.5 months old)

I don't know how old you baby is, but mine was like this when she was 6 months and under because of gas issues that weren't resolving with burping. We had to give her mylicon gas drops in her bottles to help, and it made a HUGE difference.

Swings and car rides usually work for mine. But if you ever need 10 minutes to decompress, put baby in a safe place and walk away. Go outside breath some air. Scream into a pillow. Or cry into a pillow. Bonus if you have a camera and can turn the volume off. As long as baby is safe they can cry for a few minutes. Then come back and try again. But know you are not alone, you aren't a bad parents. Sometimes you just need a few minutes to collect yourself

Take a couple minutes to urself. I understand the way u feel. Do u have a fan try putting the fan on low setting. Sing to baby, put baby in a washing basket with pillows and rock gently or push around. Anything to stimulate a new surrounding so nervous system can reset.

If you’re stressed your baby is stressed! I’m so sorry this is happening to you. Go to the neighbors house with kids and see if they may be able to rock your baby for you to rest you back and eyes for an hour. I’m sure they would love to hold a baby! Go ask!

Mama, try anything. Hot shower. Baby might be too hot, might be too cold, might just want to be held. Baby can feel your stress, call for help, ask someone to come over. Take a break and come back calm, walk outside, shower with him. Have a nap with him on the bed (safely) anything. If it doesn’t stop, emergency room. You are doing great🤍

All day or just at night time? If all day make an appointment with your pediatrician. If only at night could be witching hour? Try taking baby for a walk outside in the late afternoon.

Guilt over leaving having children so late in life

I have such intense regret about leaving having my child so late, I’m 40 and he’s now 6 months old. I wish I’d had him 10 + years ago, I feel like such a fool that I’ve missed out on so much time with him. I was too busy at a job that ultimately doesn’t matter and studying for a qualification I probably won’t ever use.

Not sure of the point of this post, I wondered if anybody else has the same feelings.

when I bring it up to my partner he just says nothing you can do about it which I know is right. I need to just get over it and enjoy my time.

Potty training boys

Anyone have tips for boys on the potty. My Lb is 14m and I’ve been trying to get him to use the potty since about 11m, he hates it and only sat fully clothed but we’re now getting somewhere and he will sit on the toilet but he will always stand and sit on it backwards?

My first was pooping on the toilet only from 1y and I would like the same for him but his poops arent routine he just goes when he goes and he’s yet to even wee on the toilet so just looking to see if boys are any different with toilet training and if there’s any tips to give :)

Violence at nursery

My daughter is in preschool and there is a boy who is consistently hurting her and the other children. He's 4. Despite multiple parents complaining, the nursery just say they do consequences and strategies like putting him in other rooms, if violent, but are refusing to describe what the longer term consequences might be.

It's making her scared to go to nursery every day and she has another year left.

Has anyone had a similar situation and what steps did you take?

I should clarify, this is a private nursery, not attached to a school.

Help??

Hiya ladies, I’m stuck at the moment I don’t know what to do. This morning i took a tumble down the stairs in my flat, gone to a&e and am now on crutches in a lot of pain. Thankfully i didn’t have my little one but still quite a scare as that could have happened.

I now don’t know what to do. My mothers offered for me to stay at hers for a couple of days until I can manage the pain and to help me do little things such as make and sterilise bottles etc. My partner doesn’t want to stay at my mums, but he’s at work and I will be struggling to do everything on my own. What do I do?
