HELP ME

I didn’t sleep AT ALL last night and I’m still yet to go to bed and it’s basically 6am how in the fuck do I get this kid to shut the fuck up and close his eyes. No he’s not sick no he’s not teething he’s just being a fucking cunt I am at my limit, I cannot safely pick him up anymore unless I get some sleep, I cannot cook use an oven or anything safely so he’s gonna starve! He’s literally killing himself by not letting me sleep i am literally halicinating how do I make him close his eyes

Hey, that sounds so hard. And I'm sure it doesnt help you feeding of each other's energy without someone who can step in.

How old is he? If he's a toddler in a funk, I find we have the most luck taking him out of his environment. To another room, briefly outside, into bed with us, even just plonking him in front of the TV for 15 minutes. Whatever it takes to stop the spiral. If you're a light enough sleeper, and he's old enough, could you consider putting a screen on and getting rest with him snuggling you? Needs must.

If a baby, can you leave him somewhere safe for a bit while you take a breath to reset in another room so you can at least get to a better headspace?

this sounds rough message me ! x would love to help

Can you put something on your phone for him to watch in his cot, and try and have a sleep? Sorry you're having such a hard time x could you call health visiting team for help as lack of sleep is affecting your health

How old is he?

Postpartum Anxiety

I’m struggling. My baby girl (almost 7 months) is sleeping next to me in the bassinet. She sleeps through the night, might wake up once but pacifier does the trick. I’m not sleeping well, I wake up panicking to check on her, resting heart has been elevated for a month so I’m definitely not getting good sleep. She makes a lot of noise and moves a lot so that wakes me as I’m a light sleeper, but she’s literally sleeping.
Anxiety meds are available to me if needed, but any advice on how I can tackle this naturally?
I stopped drinking alcohol & cut out all caffeine only bc I felt it was not helping my case. I started Ashwagandga & magnesium glycinate but it’s not really helping.

Night feeds/settling back to sleep

At night it’s taking 1hr+ to BF baby, change nappy and get him successfully transferred back into his next to me asleep… he’s then waking up an hour later for milk again. This has been happening for the last 4 weeks and I’m exhausted 😟 anyone any tips?

Travel Pushchair - first time flying

We are off on holiday tomorrow (flying TUI) and since purchasing our travel pushchair (which was cabin approved size) now seems just outside their size guidance and likely will be gate checked.

Questions;
Do you get the pushchair back at the gate when you land or have to wait until you get to the luggage carousel?

Anyone’s experience with TUI and how strict they are on size?

We also haven’t got a cover/bag for it should it be checked.. rookie error for this first time mum 😫
