Where has my happy baby gone?

Has anyone else’s July baby started to be really grumpy like most of the time?!
For the last couple of weeks she’s been having what seem like temper tantrums if I take anything away from her (which seems like most things as she seems drawn to the things she shouldn’t have) and getting her nappy changed or getting her clothes changed is like wrestling an anaconda. I’m finding it so draining that I’m constantly upsetting her. Just wanting a bit of reassurance that hopefully this is normal…

Oh god yeah! It’s hell out here at the moment!

Yeah, much grumpier than usual and definitely 100% normal, just getting some grumpy practice in for the toddler years lol

I'm literally sitting here in tears because my baby just screams whenever she has her nappynor clothes changed, it's the first day of my period too so I'm super hormonal 🤷‍♀️🤣. But yeah, she's basically a gremlin right now

Same here! You're not alone. 100%normal- they're learning how to show their emotions and preferences

My daughter has been exactly the same, I’m putting it down to her teething so she has a shorter temper due to the pain, but she has been a sassy queen atm

My little one has been the same too! You're definitely not alone! Tantrums over not being allowed to chew on our shoes, pull the TV down, play with a nappy bag, so on, so on... 🤦🏻‍♀️but yeah, nappy changes and clothes changes are a full blown work out!!! 💪🏻🧑🏻‍🫯‍🧑🏽

When do you stop using a baby monitor?

So I’ve been using a camera baby monitor since birth and still use it now (she’s now 3)
So my question is are you all still using your monitors or when did you stop?

I love the fact that I can keep checking on her when she’s sleeping or if she stirs in the night I can see her and know if I need to go in her room or not, she’s a light sleeper too so if she stirs in the night and I got in her room she would be wide awake again 🫣 but she also settles herself amazingly well too if not disturbed.

Baby doesnt want to be put down 😭

Moses basket and next to me wont work 😭 feel like we are doing such unsafe safe sleeping practices but if we dont we would be awake 24/7. We have tried everything

Not crawling or rolling back to tummy

Baby is 32 weeks tomorrow - is that 7.5 months?!

But still not crawling or wanting to roll back to tummy - why do I feel stressed that she isn’t doing this yet!
I encourage rolling every day but because she sat from around 5 months she has no interest in rolling.
Seeing other people’s posts on how much their baby is doing is making me feel a little stressed! ..
anyone feeling the same??

Natural ways to remove baby poo stains? 💩

Hi mums 👋🏼
How do you remove poo 💩 stains from baby clothes? At the moment I’m using bleach-based products, but I’d really love to switch to something more natural and less chemical, especially because I’m getting so tired of the strong smell 😭🫠

I’d love to hear your tips and tricks!
What works best for you? Thanks so much

Sleep times.. HELP🤣

So my little girl is just over 6m, wakes in the morning any time between 6-7 am, she’ll have about a 2 hour wake window and have her first nap. This is about a 45 min to 1 hour nap. Her next wake window is longer, can be up to 3 - 3.5 hours long, then she has her next nap which is an hour or more.
Now, today for example she woke around 4 pm from her nap, her bedtime is usually around 8 pm and we try to get a nap inbetween. Is this a sign she’s ready to drop her 3rd nap?
I can’t seem to time her last nap now before bedtime now her wake windows are getting bigger and she fights it like CRAZY😭 but would this mean I should start an earlier bedtime now and get her to bed for 7? It just seems a bit early but she’s been awake for 4 hours now which seems way too long 🤣 Tia x
