Teething

I know I sound crazy but anyone else’s baby teeth at 8 weeks old. Past 4 days he’s not slept well at all. Like last night he was crying from 1am till 3am when normally after a feed he will go back to sleep. Trying to chomp on everything dribbling and just really out of sorts. Never wants a dummy but chomping on that too he’s completely upside down. He’s had a sore bum as well. His gums look a bit red too.

it’s definitely possible as some babies are born with teeth! my little girl is 6 weeks and can see little intents in her gums so pretty sure she has teeth coming.

I think my LG is but when I mentioned the excessive drooling I was told it was her saliva glands maturing. And the hand to mouth is her exploring but I also think she is teething along with that as she has a sore bum and my LB (hes not little now lol) started teething at 8 weeks even though they didn't come through his gums tol he was 3 months old xxx

My baby aswell
I did mention to GP About him drooling alot and was told his saliva glands developing

My baby aswell he is teething like crazy at the minute 8 weeks old x

I’m so glad I’m not the only one x

Has anyone bought this bundle? Was any good and was it worth money?

Sleep during the day.

My nearly 4 week baby girl loves her sleep at night and will easily settle back down after her feeds however, during the day I struggle to get her to sleep or when she does she will sleep in my arms, if I try to transfer her to her cot she wakes straight away. Any suggestions on how I can help her or what I’m doing wrong?

18 months

How many words is good for 18 months? My child says 22 words that I’ve counted and I feel proud but is this just average lol

Wake windows a myth for some?

My baby seems to laugh in the face of wake windows. We wake around 6-7am, he might fall asleep after his breakfast feed for a little bit but his only other long nap is our lunchtime walk in the carrier. Otherwise he is awake for hours on end but seemingly quite happy.

If anyone has a newborn who also doesn’t conform to the whole 60m rule, don’t worry, your baby isn’t broken and you’re not doing anything wrong, just go with their flow!

Bed Time - 4 months old

Hey mamas! How is everyone coping with an early bed time routine at 4 months old? My old friend chat gpt reckons that an early bed time of 7pm-9pm should be the norm but my girl will not go to bed until after 10pm 😭. Is it too early for sleep training or do most just follow their baby’s tired cues? X

Did anyone else’s epidural not work?

Writing retrospectively here. I had a epidural with my 1st baby in 2025 and it pretty much had no effect, I was in absolute agony the whole time (hours). Anyone else experience this?

Midwife now says this isn’t normal and I shouldn’t have been in pain.
Due my 2nd in 6 weeks and debating weather I should go for one again. 😣
