8 week trenches

Omg yall I don’t remember 8 weeks being this HARD 😂🥲🥲 my boy is turning 8 weeks on Saturday and omg he is fussy ALL DAY, he’s refusing naps during the day if he’s not being held or I’m not laying next to him with my boob out for him to latch, he really is only happy if he’s being held or physically touching someone… I’m all for co sleeping we did it with my 1st but omg I did not want to do it with this one but here we are….its the only way he lets me get any sleep. I’m in the trenches… today I tried to put him down to sleep 3 times and all three times he woke up within 10 minutes of me setting him down in the crib, screaming bloody murder 🥲🥲 anyone else in the same boat?

Struggling with my 2 year old boy!!

I am soooooo jealous of the moms who have little boys that listen, are chill and calm. I have an active little boy who LOVES to climb, jump off the highest surface, throw balls and just destroy things.

Recently, my 2 year old has started to pull ALL his toys and throw his stuff around when he doesn't get what he wants or we don't pay attention to him for more than 2 minutes. What am I doing wrong? What do I do because today I LOST it, in what I feel is a bad way. I'm at my wits end and hate it. It's like he doesn't listen unless I'm yelling and I don't want to be like this....I grew up in a home like that and it was like walking on eggshells.

Please give me some real constructive advice, I'm out of my element. And please don't suggest getting him tested or how these are signs of some sort of diagnosis...ita not, I know for a fact. He's just a smart, active little boy.

Has anyone had any problems with neighbours after having a baby?

My neighbour is verbally abusive, (shouting, use of profanities, etc.), stomps and bangs consistently, has told us to move, peered through my windows. The list goes on. My landlords are aware, they've warned him, they've told each of us to ignore each other, but he has only grown more comfortable. Unfortunately things always happen so quickly and im not able to record anything. Am I just supposed to live with my phone glued to me constantly recording? I have things to do and a child to care for, nor do I have the means to invest in recording devices. My child wakes up crying because he is afraid to be in his bed, it is worse now because of teething. I genuinely do my best to keep the noise brief and get him right away, but I cannot control my child. I am exhausted, discouraged and it seems as though nothing will change. The landlords will not do anything because they have no physical proof of harassment. If you have any similar experiences or have needed to take this to court, how did it go? Is it even worth it? To be completely honest im starting to feel like maybe my child is the issue or im being a terrible parent despite everyone telling me its normal.

Napper/Huckleberry

Hi all, do many people use Napper/Huckleberry? If so, do you feel it is actually beneficial?

Also, is it best to get the paid version?

Mum rage

I am slowly losing it. I just feel SO ANGRY and frustrated. My little one is 19 weeks and in the middle of a regression, he had a few good days sleep but now it's back to waking up every 1hr 45 mins and spending most the night fussing. He also fights his naps during the day. To be fair, even before the regression, he barely slept since he was born.
I'm starting to feel very 'over it' now. He had a few days of good sleep so I KNOW he is capable of doing it.
I'm not looking for suggestions around sleep because if I'm honest, I think he's just a bit of a FOMO baby as well lol
But I just need to know - am I the only one with mum rage at the moment???
I don't want to harm him in any way, but I do find myself wanting to smash something when he's scream crying all damn day.

Very fussy baby help

Not sure what else I can do at this point. My little one does not settle for more than 20 minutes in an evening. He is fed, he is given infacol and well winded, we regularly check his nappies and I have taken him out for walks. He sleeps for the walk and as soon as I get back in, he kicks off again. Any advice is greatly recommended
