Little one won't eat

My baby woke up herself about an hour and 15 minutes ago, I've tried giving her bottle to her but she wont take it. She just keeps screaming. I've given her pacifier to her and she stays calm unless she loses it. Its been 4 hours since she has ate anything.

Could be a number of things she could have stomach ache, wind, constipation. How old is she?

Once calm try again. But it does sound like it could be one of these. If she tries to take it then stops after a couple of sips could be a sore throat.
Try winding
Then try laying her tummy with your hand under so your lightly pressing on tummy if this seems to settle her it could be stomach ache but this could be from wind or constipation. X

Well, it finally happened.

My 2.5 yo woke up last night screaming for Mommy and Daddy, terrified like she had never screamed before, and when I went in to check on her, she told me she had heard a ghost.

The monster and ghost checks have begun.

Breast feeding/sleep.

I love breast feeding, it’s quick and easy for me. However, I used to do both, bottle and boob. Until I was told not to use a bottle which I wish I never listened to as all it has done is cause me stress 😭
My 13 week old uses me to soothe, which is normal for a EBF baby, but he doesn’t want to unlatch and he also contact naps. So I never catch a break and no one can get him to nap EVER, he will literally scream until he’s latched.

He will only nap on the boob. It’s exhausting as I am a human dummy. He won’t nap by rocking, white noise, patting, etc, trust me, I’ve tried everything since he was 5 weeks old, he just hates sleep.
I am wanting to introduce bottles again, slowly and not to upset him. But the crying kills me.

Should I start with 1 bottle in the evening before he goes to bed? With my partner doing this? I’m aware this is a slow process but I worry he won’t ever nap unless he’s on me or would he start to come out of this as he grows anyway?
Recently he has been getting a little better, I can unlatch him, even if it takes several attempts. He’s also been able to nap in the pram for 15 minutes which is amazing.
Do they start to be able to fall asleep in other ways as they get older?

Has anyone’s baby had this before? What is it?

My daughter woke up from a nap and that’s when I noticed it. She’s been very fussy today and chewing more than usual.

Hot take. I think it's better to rehome your pets after having kids if it's affecting your postpartum mental health.

I had to. I had cats and I could not manage the twins and take care of them. It wasn't possible for me.
