Im really sorry youre going through this and this sounds sooo tough please give yourself grace and start with some minimal tasks if u can also reach out to some local churches and ask for help 💕

This advice my not help for you but it helps me. I find having a cleaner space helps me mentally as it’s one less thing to worry about so maybe try doing a little bit at a time so today it could be clear the counters off, tomorrow could be taking the trash out, even if it’s one corner of one room and so on.
I’m so sorry you’re going through a tough time you just got to remember you’ve got to have bad days to make the good days better. Hopefully they’ll find the evidence to prove you didn’t do the crime. We’ve got this x

Hey mama 💛 that’s so much to carry, and it makes sense you feel overwhelmed. This doesn’t mean you’ll be a bad mom it means you’re struggling right now.
The fact you’re worried about this already shows how much you care. You don’t have to have everything together to be a good mom, and you don’t have to do it alone either.
Right now is about getting support for you first, one small step at a time. You’re not failing you’re going through a lot 💛
You will get through this Trust me ♥️
My 2.5 year old has always been a great sleeper but atm omgggg. Whether she naps or not, no matter the bed time shes wide awake at 3am!!!! Not crying, just babbling away. I try rock her back to sleep & have even give a bottle of milk as wonderes if shes thirsty but are we in a regression? Im shattered 🤯😮💨😭

After making it this far without giving a dummy, I'm finally caving (no judgement or questions please, just personal preference). Over the last month, my girl has started sucking on 2 fingers constantly to soothe herself and she's making them red raw. 2 people have told me recently that they think she cries more than the average baby and that breaks my heart thinking she's unhappy. So hence the decision to give a dummy... but i have a few random questions. Does your baby have access to a dummy all of the time, or just when you want them to start settling down? Do you find you're constantly waking in the night to put it back in before mouth if it falls out? I don't really want her to constantly have it in her mouth, ideally just to help soothe herself for naps and sleep. I understand there's a risk she might not accept a dummy this far along but with how much she loves sucking things, I think she will. I'm also however worried about creating yet another sleep association with it, as I am already pretty guilty of feeding to sleep

For mums who have been through this before, what did you do with your little one’s bedtime & morning wake up routine / timings when the clocks go back in October? I’ve got a 5 month old and looking for advice on how should I mange the change with her.

I am looking for some advice. My baby is 15 weeks old and he does not go down for the night till 12 o'clock.
We are doing night time routine between 7-8 pm depends on his last nap, he goes down for like 30-45 min wakes up crying, we can settle down in minutes but he does not go back to sleep till 11:30-12:00. I am nursing him 1x maybe 2x before he actually goes down. 😅
I tried to postpone the nighttime routine for 9-10 pm and get him down for one more nap; he does the same thing just going to bed at 1 am 🤦🏽♀️
During the day he also does not sleep much. Like 3 hrs in total, but since he born is the same, not sleeping much.
After he finally goes to sleep he has a good 5 hr stretch of sleep which I am very grateful for, but I really want his bedtime to be at 8-ish. Thank you.

The only way my husband can get our 5 day old baby boy to sleep is to have him in arms being rocked or in this swing. He says he and his ex let my SD sleep in her swing for months because she needed the incline for reflux.
Google says baby should not be in the swing for more than an hour a day. But Google also says no cosleeping and I feel like swing or cosleeping might be the only ways to ever sleep.
My husband is wonderful and is taking 8pm-2am and we're barely home and already exhausted. Is this OK?
