4 month sleep regression help!

LO has decided she’ll now add a wake window in at night between 1:30-4 , happy until she’s not but any other wake up i can just bf her back to sleep. I keep the lights low but she starts to scream soon after i’ve put her back in the next to me literally hold her like a zombie till she’s finished her wake window. How do i stop this? I only turn a dim lamp on and no stimulation but she won’t stop🤯

My 4 month old does this, i just make it boring for her so she understands there is actually no reason to be awake lol she stares at me in her cot and eventually falls back to sleep after 20 mins. As long as I stay near her she is happy to settle herself again but not all babies are as chilled I guess.

About 5 days 😬 I just kept doing it, keeping it dark, no interaction. I was close so she wasn't crying, if she was hysterical then of course I would comfort her but she got used to it and shes now back to sleeping over night again.

Considering a boob job

I had tiny boobs before I had a baby and once I started breast feeding they got to a really nice size I was happy with. Now I’ve stopped they’ve shrunk to basically nothing and it’s making me so self conscious!! Has anyone had a boob job after their baby and would you recommend? I would like baby no.2 though so should I wait?

How do you still breastfeed baby if she’s on 3 solid meals a day??

My little girl is 6 months tomorrow and we did start her early (no comments on that please because it’s not helpful). She’s doing really well eating her solids and currently has one in the morning and one in the evening but I think she’ll be ready for 3 solids but not sure how to do it so that she is still mostly breastfed? She’s had baby rice this morning with some water and then gone to sleep so I’m feeling quite bad now because I don’t want her to not be mostly breastfed

Baby struggling to poop

Hi guys,

(To preface this, we are taking him to the Drs today)
My baby is 2 weeks old and formula fed and for the last week, he has really struggled to poop.
He's passing some really hard paler yellow stools. Once he passes these, he seems to be able to get less formed stools out but it's still more formed than it should be at his age.
He's constantly straining, grunting and trying to go and none of the methods like cycling his legs, etc seem to work.


Have any of you come across this before?
What worked/what was the cause in the end?

From,
A Mam that just wants her baby to poop comfortably 🥺

Anyone else completely burned out????

I am so close to losing it. My baby is 9 weeks and she is the cutest sweetest baby and I genuinely think I’m very lucky because she’s really not that difficult (and everyone keeps telling me this and I agree) yet I’m still so overwhelmed and burned out. At week 6 she started only wanting contact naps during the day, fine I did this. She doesn’t like to be babyworn I need to hold her and sit. Now at weeks 9 just a regular contact nap is not enough, she only settles when I hold her and jump through hoops, make saltos, bounce, swing, whatever freaking movement exists she wants that otherwise she won’t sleep. My body can’t take this anymore and if I don’t do this she doesn’t sleep and gets all crazy. They said it would het better by week 8 but it’s only getting worse - I feel like such a bad mum because I can’t even deal with one baby. HOW DO YOU MUMS DO THIS WITH MORE KIDS?? I respect you so much!!!! I want 4 kids but I can’t even handle 1. Anyway that’s all for now. And yes she feeds well, is not colic, has not a lot of gas discomfort so that’s all okay, sleeps well at night and my husband is the best and supportive help when he’s home from work. Yet I still can’t manage. Great.
