Nursery settling

Second solo selling session this afternoon for an hour and a half, picked her up and she’d been screaming/crying for most the session. She is doing 2 days a week starting Thursday. So sad to see her like that. Any words of wisdom please 🙏🏻

Can’t advise if any help but we had our first one and he started off well but was sobbing and hyperventilating 15 minutes in.

We are going again tomorrow, I believe it is something they will just get used to. I’m taking in some of his favourite books tomorrow for him to look at.

Sounds like our little one today. Hope tomorrow is better for both of us! X

I work in a nursery and I promise you they do settle, some take a while and some settle really quickly! Keep going at it, I know it’s hard but she will settle and then she will be running in! If they are anything like our setting they are so loved throughout the day, cuddles, singing to them, trying all their favourite stuff! We carry them around half the time if they need it, they get really cared for! It’s just because she doesn’t want to leave you but maybe take a picture in of you and her and it might help her to have it with her all day, something that smells of you! Any comforter that will help but if not it will take time xxx

Early mornings

Hi! My 6 month old has got into the habit of wanting to start the day at 5am instead of 6:30 - what is the best way to manage this?

No sleep

So my 5 week old won’t sleep in her crib.. everytime we put her down she will start to cry then eventually scream. She is fed and changed so we are not sure what the issue is… but maybe it’s because she is used to being held? any tips or advice? pls help

Laundry

Hey there!
What do you guys use to get those yellow poop stains off clothes? I’ve been trying a bit of everything but nothing seems to work well for me
Thank you!

Tell me...

I need to know all the secrets Mama especially those mamas who are over the age of 35. During postpartum did you have a problem with shedding like your hair constantly falling out or thinning? No matter what I do or take or anything my hair will not go back to being full again. I haven't had full hair since my second oldest daughter was born. I'm on birth control. I take prenatals I use anti thinning hair care system. I'm doing it all. I'm getting stressed out because this is crap. What are your go-to secrets now? I'm going to say this as a n FYI I have psoriasis on my scalp due to allergies so I need sensitive friendly

Crying on wake ups

My son is one year now & the last couple nights he wakes up crying or winging slightly but it doesn’t even last a minute and he’s straight back to sleep… then happy as anything when he wakes up… any ideas what this could be. He had his jabs on Friday but thankfully they went really well and hasn’t had signs apart from a temp on the Saturday. He’s done this once before too but it went away so I’m unsure as to what this could be

He doesn’t have milk through the night and very rarely poo’s through the night too.

Thanks!

Good baby

I just wanna see if there’s any mums who are actually having a good time with happy
Babies that sleep well. Eat well. Play well ?
I feel like I’m shamed in mum groups when I don’t share the same problems. I know we’re lucky. And we take each day as it comes. There’s been ups and downs but she is a happy baby who isn’t much trouble. But I’ll scared to say the truth in mum groups because they all look so judgey and cross that she’s just an easier baby than my friends. I don’t take it for granted. Like I said we take each day as it comes knowing our luck could run out but I’m tired of being shamed for it. I have a good baby. She sleeps 12 hrs at night without waking. She eats well. She’s so bright and meeting milestones early. She naps in the day and rarely scream cries.
Don’t get me wrong. The first few weeks were rough but I just wanna be able to share that she’s good I’m good and not feel shamed to share it.
