Nighttime Support

To those who have gone through the first year or two of having Irish twins. What kind of support did you have at nighttime? My husband and I are thinking of sleeping separate, he’ll take care of our now 11 month old and I’ll take care of the newborn. Any other systems that seemed to work for you guys?

is this normal?

does anyone else’s baby do this or know why they do this?
he does this when he’s excited, upset, wants something… all the time, for almost everything tbh. I didn’t get a normal one on recording but he does this with his hands but wayyy more aggressively and sorts of tenses up his body, I might just be overthinking it but it’s worrying me lol

Would you leave your 3 year old downstairs watching TV/playing to go and have a really quick shower?

Me and my husband had a disagreement about this. Doors were locked, kitchen door was closed. Stairgate was closed so he wouldn't be on the stairs on his own.

Why does no one use reins for toddlers anymore?

They seem so safe and practical but I never see anyone using them. I’m thinking of getting some for my toddler who is always running around but I worry I’ll be judged?!

?4 month regression

I need to know I’m not the only one going through this 😂
My boy is 14 weeks old and I’ve had it EASY. The last few weeks we’ve been in the routine of bed & bottle by 9/9.30 and he was waking at around 4/5am for a feed then back to sleep until 9am ish. This last week has been a nightmare, he’s not been napping unless they’re contact naps, usually I could pop him in his Moses or his swing and he’d fall asleep, or it’d start as a contact nap then I could transfer him. ATM as soon as I transfer him he’s waking up and screaming. He’s crying whenever I put him down (he just wants to be stuck to me) even on his play mat he’s only last about 5 mins on it before he’s crying and wants to be held.
On a night, he’s crying when I lay him flat in my arms to get him off to sleep for about 5 mins before he’s settled & falling to sleep. Before I could just put him in his cot awake and he’d fall asleep. Then he’s waking up at around 2/3am and crying solely because he wants to be in bed with me - he’s not hungry and his nappy isn’t dirty. I try to put him back in his cot asleep and he’s having none of it so the last few nights we’ve literally had to co-sleep from around 3am otherwise he just won’t sleep!
Does this sound like the 4 month regression? If so, how long does it last? Will it ever go back to how it was before? And what can I do to help him?! I don’t want to get into the habit of co-sleeping for that long in the night. Usually he ended up in bed with me from around 7am until 9am so I could get a few hours and I was ok with that but 3am-9am is a long time and I get so worried about him being in bed with me that I’m gonna squash or suffocate him

No sleep club

Is anyone else still in the rubbish sleep club?
My baby is 8 weeks old, breastfeeding, and still waking every 1-2hrs at night.
Feeling very crap and lonely being awake all the time! Anyone else?

5 months old

Has anyone experienced their baby waking up multiple times absolutely sobbing? My LG is 5 months old. I’ve noticed she’s pulling her ear, chomping on everything and anyone 😂. Is this teething? Her cheeks are also RED. She’s also refusing naps during the day, in total she does about an hour during the day!
