Feel like a shit mum

Feel like such a shit mum, I’ve fallen over with my baby in my arms multiple times (I’ve only ever hurt myself) and today he got locked in my car 😭😭 I called emergency services and he was out in under 10 minutes, he was crying but is absolutely fine. I just can’t help but feel really shit about myself and being a parent

These things happen. Don’t beat yourself up over it. As long as baby is ok, you did the best thing and got it sorted quickly. Definitely doesn’t make you a shit mum x

Help

My newborn won’t settle unless she’s in my arms and I need sleep. I’m on the verge of passing out constantly and have started hallucinating. Any advice is helpful

Swaddle Vs sleeping suit.

Which one seems to work better for your baby? I am ftm, with a 4week old, I am not entirely sure what is the best option to get him to sleep restfully for a few hours between feeds.

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).
