Pre-sleep drama

Hi All

5.5 months old and I think we’re through the regression but we are having lots of pre-sleep drama, irrespective of night time or day time naps.

Little lady is just going BESERK whenever I try to get her to sleep.

Starts as I head up the stairs, like she KNOWS she’s heading for bed. We then white noise and sing and pace the room to calm her to sleep. I used to feed to sleep but am trying to stop that so Dad and I are consistent.
Sometimes I usher her in the carrier and we walk outside instead of my prison, I mean bedroom, - with the same drama.

We’re watching both cues and the clock. She always falls asleep without fail so I don’t think she’s under tired?… but just after 5-10 minutes of gut wrenching drama first. Poor girl is going to lose her voice someday.

I’m concerned it’s conditioning her to find sleeping a stressful time if it continues…

Not sure there’s any answers but I’m just grateful to hear others suggestions and similar experiences

Hates nappy Change

Hi Mamas,

My baby boy is 8 weeks today and has never liked his nappy being changed. He hates clothing changes and having a bath.

He screams his little lungs out during bath time and yes bath temp is perfect. Tired bathing him with me and still does like it. We’ve even brought 3 different baby baths.

Any other babies like this, any tips, fo they get better with age?

Falling over

My 10 month old is super risky and is currently learning to walk. She takes very silly chances often and sometimes I can’t be there to catch her as I’m also running after my very needy 3 year old. She falls often and we have hard floors, and I’m not sure what to do.

Are you also having many head bonks? Or not so much? Any ideas on what I can do to help it? I can’t sit behind her all day like I did with my first 🫣 I also can’t lay protective flooring across the house, as it’s a large area and she travels all of it (kitchen, wash up, bathrooms, passage, etc).
