Tell me I’m not alone!!!

My son doesn’t sleep through the night, feeding every 2-3 hours. Cries from separation anxiety so usually put him in with me around 2/3 so we can both sleep.
His nap times and lengths are always different, contact naps only. Rocking or bouncing to sleep sometimes, could be awake for 2 hours or 5.
EBF but not interested in boob or bottle much in the day.

All I read on here or other places online are about babies who seem to have their sh** together. Tell me there’s others out there????

My baby went to sleep at 6.45pm for 10!! Mins and she's now wide awake..she's decided at 8 months she only requires ONE nap a day also 😵‍💫😵‍💫

Its okay. We have babies that keep us on our toes. I stopped comparing long time ago. I carry the cross given to me it can always get worse. But yea you are not alone. It won't last, that's all I tell myself.

Lol I could've wrote this post! My child is exactly like this

With my first child I used to compare alot but now it’s my second I don’t because this is actually normal for babies especially breastfed babies.
My baby wakes up every hour at night , he only feeds to sleep or in the carrier.
Today he only had one nap, some days he has two. I don’t do set wake windows I just let him lead.
It’s gets easier and I’d say after 1.5 years old is when the sleep gets better or when you stop breastfeeding which I will around that time .
I miss my first being like this and I already miss my baby being small even though he still is. It goes sooo fast and they’re just being normal babies 😘❤️❤️

Overfeeding newborn?!

Today I found out from my GP that feed on demand relates to breastfeeding. I’ve in fact been overfeeding my precious newborn and I feel both embarrassed and guilty.

I’m neurodiverse so I took that phrase literally and although I shouldn’t I feel so bad. She’s been in pain and her stomach was large!! My husband was like that’s normal and I’m so happy I finally listened to myself to get it checked after being gaslit so many times.

Anyway, this is to say follow your instincts and ignore formula pack feeding guidance 😅

Car seat

What car seats did you move onto once your little one outgrew their first car seat? Any you’d recommended (or avoid)

Need to vent about my family im so upset

I was at my mums house with my sisters. I suddenly became very ill, they called an ambulance but no one wanted to keep my baby while I went hospital. In the end I had to tell the ambulance people I wouldn’t go with them as I have no one to watch my baby. They wer disgusted I could tell. They could hear my family saying no I can’t keep the baby I don’t want too. These are the same people who never visited me when my baby was born. I just feel so alone. In the end her dad watched her. I want to have another baby but I know no one will help keep my older baby. I just feel so shit :(

Naps times

11 month old refusing all naps, would you let them cry it out in their crib or allow them to stay awake or even try rocking them to sleep?

Naps

How long do you let your baby sleep for during a nap before you wake them up?

First time mum is this normal please?

My son is almost 3, he’s developing really well but I’ve noticed a few things where I’m like is this normal - he doesn’t like tags in his clothes, he cries if the tags are left on his clothes - he is really picky with his food, no meat - he screams so bad and throws up when he’s got to have a bath or have his hair washed - he doesn’t like getting ready in the morning etc. is this just normal for his age? Thanks x
