Anyone awake? 🥺

Feeling like a shit parent right now and needing a village boost. 😔 been up for 2.5 hours and baby still not settled. My 4 Yr old woke up from a nightmare too and I feel its my fault because she was told off this evening and I think we were too harsh. She had such a meltdown like I've never seen before. I was just cuddling her and she felt like a baby again and I feel so sad I made her feel like that, that she ended up having a bad dream. Hubby has had to take over because newborn still wide awake and now I feel like a failure. Can't get baby to sleep. 4 Yr old feels unsettled. Hubby now lack of sleep and he has an interview tomorrow. Big fat failure here. 😭

Not walking

Does/did anyone else’s 17 month old not walk yet? He’s recently seen his health visitor due to us moving area, she didn’t seem too concerned about it but I’m quite worried and always compare to other toddlers his age🙈 he was 3 weeks early which isn’t a lot but he was a late crawler too and seems to do things in his own time. I’ve bought him a soft play which he now sometimes will go on his feet to lift himself up onto it, if we’re sat on the floor he will bend his legs to push himself up over us so there is a small improvement.. he has stood at the sofa twice with us helping him up and only for a short time. He just doesn’t seem bothered but he’s a good fast crawler

(The socks on the photo was because we was going out! I try and have him bare foot as much as possible)

🗓️ Any advice would be great 🫶🏼

Hey mamas 😊

I’m a first time mama to a beautiful baby girl (3months tomoro) and was hoping to get some insight.
My baby girl sleeps amazing but only on me, my chest and I’ve tried laying her down on her back but she wakes instantly every time. So at night it’s very challenging, even throughout the day all her naps are on me as she wakes if I put her down. My baby girl doesn’t like a swaddle, she escapes and her arms just fight it lol

In the 4 month trenches…

Hit 4 months yesterday and since then my LO has been fighting naps, needing the dummy constantly replaced in her mouth and is grumpy as hell.

I think this is the dreaded 4 month regression or maybe teething.

Baby carriers

Hi mummas !

I have a tiny baby ! She was born at 36 weeks, 2.9kg so around 6lb ! She is now 3.5kg so around 7.5lb and im struggling to find a carrier that fits her !!

I have the infantino 4 in 1 and a chicco one but she sits very low in it ! And it looks so big on her 😭

Any advice ? Or recommendations

Anyone else hating the newborn phase second time around?

I tell you what, if my second was my first I’d probably only have one child
I love my second so much obviously, but when I say she screams every second she is awake I mean literally every second and this has been going on from day 2 of her being here and she’s now almost a month old
I am losing the plot, I am exhausted, my first born is being so good about it all thank god because if I was her I’d be begging to send the baby back 🫠😭
I cannot wait for these newborn colic days to be gone and I feel so guilty about it but I am honestly having such a shit time compared to my first
