How beautiful must be

To have a baby that at 21 months sleeps nicely through the night and wakes up at a decent time (7am would be already a good time)?
I cannot stop thinking how being it must be for the parents of those babies who are now finally sleeping through the night and not waking up before 6am.

I’m so so done with the night awakenings and early rise and a grumpy baby since the time he opens his eyes

If you haven’t already and you don’t mind a read, try grabbing the 7pm to 7am sleeping baby Routine book by Charmain Mead. I read it in pregnancy and I don’t know whether it’s a fluke or not but my 13wo sleeps 9.30-7am consistently and I applied loads of the tips in that book!

I’m jealous of the people who’s babies that started sleeping through at 5-6 months, and everything after that.
Mine is only 16 months, usually 2-3 wakes, but mine at least wakes around 8 most of the time.

I had 2 amazing sleepers and my 3rd (almost 21m) is a whole kettle of fish. I lost count of how many wake ups there were last night.

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!

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?

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.
