Who else is doing this?

Wondering who still sits next to there nearly 3 year old before they fall asleep? Or can anyone actually put them in their room and leave them to settle themselves to sleep??

I wish I could do that. I have a few friends with kids similar ages that can leave them to fall off to sleep and I’m so jealous. I have to cuddle up to my little one before she will fall asleep. She also always wake in the night and needs to be cuddled back down again. It’s exhausting, but I just don’t know how to get out of the cycle.

right there with you! I have never ever co slept, was so tight on sleep routine etc, my son slept through alone for at least a year. Since January, he was waking multiple times a night for me, I was going between bedrooms and was soooooo tired. February I caved and bought a double bed for his room, I now sleep with him. Coming from the mum who said they would never co sleep! I honestly thought it’s never something that would happen at nearly 3 but here we are x

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?

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
