My 14 week old has just gone from sleeping for 4-6 hours followed by 2x 2hours at night to waking every 2 hours from the start so think it could be this too

My girl is 13 weeks and it’s been a nightmare. I attempted bedtime at 7:30 last night, she went to sleep at 10:15 and i could finally have dinner and go to sleep at 11. She woke up at 2 and it took me another 2 hours to get her to fall asleep again 🥲 gave up at 7 and she’s currently in our bed sleeping because I have no energy left to fight it. Also impossible to put her down for a second during the way without her screaming her head off and absolutely nobody else can hold her other than me. Same baby that had 8 hour stretches last week. She also did have vaccines last Wednesday so I thought it was that but it just HAS to be the 4 month sleep regression. It can happen any time from 3 to 4 months so I guess these Jan babies don’t like to wait around 😭😂

Apparently the 4 month sleep regression often happens between 13-15 weeks...we're having a nightmare here too!😵‍💫

I’m glad I’m not the only one 😴

Humping

I’m a SAHM and my son has never been exposed to anything let’s just start there. He is semi- verbal autistic and 2 years old. Whenever he gets sleepy he starts humping. Why? Anyone else?

Favorite silly/random mom hack?

One of my recent ones: the little plastic containers that some pacifiers are sold in, which are meant for steam sterilizing in the microwave, are the perfect size for a menstrual disc 🙈 what is one thing you’ve found that makes your life the tiniest bit easier/more convenient as a mom?

when to change the pram?

my son only turned 3 months yesterday but he is SO nosey. he falls asleep in the car a lot so i tend to just use the car seat instead of the bassinet. but when he wakes up he cries unless i take him out and carry him. and then he’s all up in everyone’s business😂 the seat unit for my pram does say it can be used from birth as it can lie flat, but i was hoping for him to be sitting up by the time i changed him over to that, and a bit bigger- he’s on the 25th centile, 12lbs 13oz as of yesterday. he holds his head up all the time now so i’m slightly less concerned in that sense. what age did everyone change their babies from the bassinet to the seat unit? and if i had him facing me would that be enough for him to still be able to look around, or would he be better off world facing? i’m just mindful that he’s still very young, but i’m a first time mum so i want to know everyone’s experiences and advice!

Formula

My baby is 11 days old, has colic and reflux 🫠😭

He’s currently on Kendamil formula (I had to stop BF for health reasons) and I just don’t think it’s doing a lot for him….

He’s on 120ml at the moment and will happily take this amount but the spit up is constant; even hours after feeding and after being upright for half hour after feeds. He’s a healthy weight and HV is happy with his progress.

He’s on infacol drops as recommended by HV but he’s still really gassy etc.

Would any of you recommend other formulas? Some people are telling me to switch to cow and gate colic others saying aptamil anti reflux 😩

Just wanna make sure if we’re going to switch formulas, that its the right one for him??????? Any recommendations welcome 🤍

Arm flapping 9 mo. Old

Hey Mamas, I’m a little concerned because I scrolled through TikTok like it’s my job and I diagnose my child or more of a anxious feeling basically… But my almost 9 month old flap his arms whenever he’s excited or upset or just in general, he kind of just does it. I wanted to see if this was normal or if anyone has experienced this, and if it may be assigned for autism?? He doesn’t show or exhibit any other signs besides this one and I am nervous about it. He’s reaching every other milestone that he should be on time or early most likely early like he started crawling at six months old. Wanted to gauge opinions or if they have been in this situation.

PPD

Can someone who has been through postpartum depression tell me how long it lasts? How can you tell what is normal hormone change and what is PPD? I’m struggling with intrusive thoughts like leaving my husband and baby or giving up my baby for adoption and obviously these are distressing to me. I already struggle with bipolar disorder.
