Grumpy baby/separation anxiety

Anyone else’s almost 1 year old incredibly grumpy/whingy?? He seems to be dealing with some serious separation anxiety as well, particularly with me. Hardly ever satisfied and sleep has gone to shit as now cries as soon as we enter his nursery and basically screams when we put him in his cot 🥺 sure he’s just going through one of the many phases but has suddenly turned into a toddler with tantrums overnight!!

Going through the same thing! Felt like it was a sudden change overnight??
I can’t even put him down to play (even if I sit down too) he has to be on my lap it’s so strange. Our overnight sleep has always been shit so no change there but glad to know someone else is going through the same thing x

My baby is 1 In 3 days and he’s separation anxiety is so bad! He’s sleep too is not great. Some days are worse than others he can be really grumpy. I think it’s a combination of a phase, teething & tiredness

Yes exactly this! Could have written that myself. It's so difficult at the moment because nothing seems to help for more than a few minutes 😢

Glad I’m not the only one! He’s even refusing his breastfeeds now which obviously used to be a good way to calm him down before naps. He’s just absolutely inconsolable when we put him down for naps and bedtime, it’s so awful!

Literally same. She started nursery this week and all of a sudden she needs eyes on me at all times otherwise she gets so sad like I have abandoned her 😭 she is also suddenly very whingey and just wants picking up. Also lots of broken sleep too.

Chickenpox vaccine reaction?

My 1 year old had the vaccine 10 days ago, been clingy and sleeping more the last week, no fever, but today his body has red spots all over.
Is this just a normal reaction?

Did you adjust to the sleep deprivation?

I’m afraid I never will - baby is 5 weeks old

Sex?

Can everyone be honest and say how much they have sex with their partner….. 8/9 months post baby?

Baby and breastfeeding

I have a 3 week old and I am exclusively breastfeeding, I’ve found in the past week or so, he latches on very well to one breast and drinks with no problem but the other breast, he will latch bit detach himself after a bit and I’m having to latch him on several times. When he does detach milk usually sprays everywhere which makes me think it’s the flow that’s quite strong, but has anyone else had this problem before and can offer some advice? Thank you!

Active sleep? 7 week old

She does this several times a night and just starting doing it this last week. Sometime the poor things moves so much she wakes herself up. She does this even when swaddled (she just looks like a worm 😅) is this just active sleep, or her reflex? How do I stop this or is this something she’ll just grow out of?
