Screaming 😭

I’m exhausted!! My little girl turned 1 a few weeks ago and has somehow turned into a fully blown toddler. Definitely enjoying the cute moments and seeing her personality flourish, but my gosh, she has somehow picked up the habit of screaming and it is honestly exhausting. It’s not even a little scream, it’s fully blown high pitched screaming (both at home and out in public). If there’s something she wants - usually food - or doesn’t want, she’ll scream. Or if she’s overtired. Or sometimes seems like just for the sake of it 🤦🏻‍♀️

I really don’t want it to become a habit that’s impossible to break. Is it just my child? Does anyone have any ideas or suggestions that may help?

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. 🫠🫠🫠

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?

Sleep!!

Our little girl at 10 weeks just slept from 730pm to 430am. She fell asleep on her dad and in bringing her upstairs at 10pm she was still fast asleep so decided as she was fed just before that to leave her until she stirs. She’s usually a good sleeper on the first stint of the night with atleast 6/7 hours but tonight she’s gone 9! Besides a little leakage as I’m exclusively breastfeeding I have no concerns. Would this one off affect my milk supply? For context when she woke she fed for 10 mins which is average for her and was content/ didn’t seem to be struggling.

Is my friend just spoiled or is she a terrible mother

I know that sounds harsh. But one of my best friends has changed since she married her husband who has money..

Shes due in May, doesnt seem excited about the baby at all. Talks about how she would never get pregnant again and would use a surrogate even tho shes had 0 real issues .. and surrogacy is hardly ethical. Regardless i dont judge it because its her choice.. now its added in with this other stuff im feeling otherwise.

She has a nanny, which i think is fine. We all deserve help! But now i found out the baby is going to be sleeping on an entirely different floor. IN THE NANNIES ROOM in a bassinet. The nanny will be doing all the “work” She says she never wants to hear the baby cry, she said she would never even let the baby in the bed to nurse… she’s wealthy beyond belief. Has everything she could want. I thought she would take motherhood seriously. Im not saying we all should struggle but this is hard for me to understand.. im not sure if it’s pregnancy hormones but shes acting like she doesnt even care about this child and only wants to do the “fun” stuff. Doesnt want to do diapers, treating this baby like its not a whole person. Says she will sleep train them as soon as she can and she doesnt give a f*** if the baby is crying for hours .. like it just does not seem to bother her? In hoping that things change when she her son.

Im struggling to stay close with her because i feel like shes now border-lining on neglect ? Am i wrong? Is this not crazy behaviour? And mind u this isnt the half of it !

Dropping nap

Did anyone notice their lo sleeping better at night after dropping to 2 naps?

My son has always woken multiple times at night so I’m not expecting miracles but I’m also just hoping he will eventually be tired enough to sleep longer than 2hrs without needing a feed again. I know sleep association is also a factor but I believe in feeding before sleep to make sure he’s full and he’s never dead asleep before I put him down and I will sing/pat etc as well.

Occasionally we get 3 hrs by fluke, just wondering what others are doing but specifically the multiple wakers xx
