Upset baby

My 4 week old will just not settle in the evenings. I assume it's colic? Hysterical crying after feeding, I wind him, keep him up right and he still uncontrollably cries, arches etc. I don't know how to help him it's impossible

Mine is struggling with wind too, we have been using infacol but now he is a month old we can switch to gripe water so hoping that helps him more

It could be colic. Have a look on YouTube for baby massages to help relive colic symptoms, it could help. Bicycle legs could be another one to try as well. Infacol is good and you can give before every feed.
Please also be kind to yourself, it can be very overwhelming when your baby is crying all the time and nothing comforts them, this will pass and you’re doing an amazing job mama!

Prams !!

Currently 22/40 with our first baby!! We plan on having 2 under 2, would it make sense to purchase a double stroller to avoid a secondary cost with the second bay?

Do I speak to the mum?

Today my daughter (5 yrs old) said that her classmate asked her, "Is your mum very very ugly & very very fat because she has too much chocolate & caffeine?" 😭I put on weight after I had kids & I dont wear makeup and I already feel so insecure about myself. I've always been bullied in school and at home for my weight, the colour of my skin, my height - everything. It just brought everything back to me. I've told my girl not to play with this girl as she's mean and fat-shamed mummy

How many words does your 15MO say?

This post is not to put anyone or their baby down especially if that baby is having difficulties I’m just curious how many words other children My daughter‘s age are saying because she surprises me. She’s been saying words since she was about 2 1/half months old it started with little words like go out dad mama and she’s already at the point where she’s repeating random words out of nowhere I didn’t think kids started doing that till they were a bit oldershe says far more than 25 words at this point I couldn’t even name them all and like I said every day she says something new she repeats words out of nowhere and I didn’t think a kid that young really started repeating repeating words, unless they’ve sat down and it’s been worked with saying that word but she’ll just say things out of nowhere. She’s already starting to try to put two words together and at her doctors appointment yesterday her doctor told me that that’s actually a skill for two-year-olds what do y’all think and how much is your 15 month old saying?

Sick note due to mental health

Hi everyone,
I am currently almost at the end of my 2nd months of fit note due to mental health, this is the first time going 2 months and above . Now i am thinking of getting a 3rd fit note due to the fact i feel i still not all that strong to resume work. My question now is, do gp give you a 3rd one which makes it 3 months of being off from work or it s not allowed?

I’m so fucking exhausted.

I just want to be able to sleep through the night. I’m so fucking tired. Idk what I’m doing wrong. Idk what is waking her up. Idk how to get her to stop waking up constantly. She doesn’t sleep more than 4hrs at a time. And even then she’s tossing and turning. These last two nights it’s every fucking hour she’s awake and upset and I’m spending ten to twenty minutes trying to soothe her back down. The only time she doesn’t move an inch is when she is sleeping on me and I don’t feel comfortable co sleeping. I also need space. I’m fucking touched out. I’m breaking down every single day because I’m so fucking exhausted. I’m miserable. I don’t want to do this anymore. Like I am just so fucking exhausted. This is mostly a rant but if you have ideas on how to make a baby sleep through the night send them my way.
