We are the same and have a 10 week old. I wonder if its the shift of having a new sibling as she was fine until not long after he arrived.
Just trying to stay firm set boundaries and have a naughty corner.

Relatable 🤣 we don't do punishments but omg it's exhausting haha

All I do is overly praise and highlight the good, but my son is desperate for ‘attention’ ( he gets a lot btw) but you can tell he is wired for ‘I’m a good boy mummy - look at me’

My daughter is a wild feral little beastie and I can already tell won’t be doing anything for the lime light or attention - so I don’t think highlighting the positive will work with her as she isn’t going to care 😂🫣

I have twins and we are definitely in our No era 🫠

Oh wow same here, my daughter changed last week, so naughty and defiant. And I don’t have a second one, so not necessarily linked to becoming a older sibling

Oh yes !!!! My little boy will be 2 in June and he have started being sooo naughty and throwing himself at the floor and just not listening and I can’t remember my little girl (3 in June) being like this 🤣 he use to be such a good sweet little boy but I don’t know what’s going on recently 🤣

Not that I’m glad any of you are also going through this but I’m glad it’s not just us 🤣. Thanks to those who’ve commented without a second younger child too. Makes me happier knowing it hopefully isn’t due to his brother coming along. *it’s just a phase. It’s just a phase. It’s just a phase* 🫠

Normal?

Hey guys I need help with knowing if this is normal.

My first born son was the easiest baby ever. Rarely cried at all!
My second born cries about everything. His diaper changes are traumatic because he won’t let you do it and the only way to get a diaper done is to pin him down (we’ve given him our phone, toys, chewies, sang to him, silly faces, played with him- he will not let a diaper change happen at all and just screams)
He won’t let us wipe his hands after mealtime he screams and flales.

You can’t distract him once he works himself up.

At the beginning I was like “this is normal” but now he’s 10.5 months and still screams every diaper change and hand wipe

Is this normal?

Bed time/ wake time

I have a five month old and really trying to figure out what time I should be putting her to bed. She wakes up at like 6:30am which is too early for me 😅

Any advice or mums who’ve figured it out?

Bedtime Advice Please

Hi,
Im a first time mum to a 6 week old. I’ve seen a lot of people say their baby sleeps longer stretches than mine. Since she was born, in the evening we’ve put her down in her Moses basket in the living room until me and my partner go upstairs to bed. She’s waking up 3 times in the night. Would she be better at sleeping if I put her down in the next to me upstairs earlier in evening with baby monitor and get her in more of a routine every night?
I don’t know if I’m being stupid but I think maybe if she’s in more of a set routine sooner rather than later it would be best?

Formula fed question

How much does your 11 week old baby get fed and how often?

Quick PSA

Don’t be a fool like me! Before you run upstairs to have a quickie with your husband make sure your baby monitor receiver is turned off so the whole rest of your house doesn’t hear ur shenanigans. 🫠🫠🫠
