2 stages in one!

3 months in and WOW… nobody warned me about this stage 😂😭

One minute she’s smiling, cooing, the sweetest little angel…
Next minute I’m being screamed at because I dared to change her nappy or put a sleeve on the wrong arm 🙃

Apparently this is a “developmental leap” AND the start of an early sleep regression…
I call it:
✨ tiny human with BIG emotions and zero patience (and no interest in sleep) ✨

We’ve got:
• 30 minute naps
• dramatic outfit changes
• only-mum-will-do moments
• random meltdowns for absolutely no reason (or all the reasons??)
• and a sleep schedule that changes its mind daily 😅

But also… the smiles, the cuddles, the way she settles on me like I’m her whole world 🥹

So yeah… it’s a lot right now.
Messy, exhausting, emotional… but still somehow the best thing ever.

Anyone else in the trenches with a 3 month old? Send help… or snacks 😅🤍

Hi guys ! I know this isn't a paternity test but this one guy I was seeing for a very short time thinks I'm pregnant with his kid I got back together with my first borns dad and the one guy is saying the kid looks like him I think it looks

Like my baby daddy but idk I'll post pics in the comments!

Next to me crib

How do you get newborn to sleep in the next to me?

I have tried but end up giving up, going downstairs putting him in the carry cot and he is absolutely fine/drifts off!

Ive tried putting a top in the next to me so he can smell me but that doesn't seem to work.

Environment is the same; dark room etc.

He's 7 days old today, is it just perseverance and eventually he will just do it? Or are there any tips to encourage him to stay/sleep in the next 2 me?

Which laundry detergent are you using?

Hi all, what laundry detergent are you using? I know fairy tends to be the go to for most, but I really don't like the smell of it.

Any suggestions on others?

Soo, my five year old foster kiddo has been with us for about three months now and he is constantly grabbing his penis to the point he makes it hard. I haven't had to deal with this ever, so I'm not quite sure how to handle it. I've tried telling him he can only touch it when he's alone, going to the bathroom, or washing it, but he hasn't stopped. I don't want to shame him over something that's natural, but I also don't want him grabbing himself in front of people. Help!

Where are we changing our babies?

Hey y’all! My baby is 5 months. I used to change her on her dresser changing pad, now she’s a tornado and I had to bring out the halo bassinet to change her in for safety reasons. Eventually she will grow out of it, now I’m thinking… where are you guys change your baby? Cause the crib at some point will be lowered, bassinet too small, floor is very low, and a dresser seems to be unsafe(at least for now)

Drying milk supply

I’ve decided after 18 weeks of exclusively pumping that I am done. Switching to formula but obviously I know I can’t just stop pumping.

I’ve cut down to 3 pumps a day (plus an 8 min pump in the middle of the night because uncomfortable) and i’m producing the same, if not more than I was on 4/5 pumps a day. Currently producing around 900ml on 3/4 pumps.

How long will it take for my supply to stop? I just want it over with😢
