To all the mum with babys between 3-6 months. When do u put your baby to sleep?

My baby (just about 13 weeks old) used to get tired and fuzzy around 8pm. During the last two weeks his bedtime shiftet to 5:30-6:00pm. Which times are normal for baby this age? Is there a „normal“ or is everybodys baby just different?

Should my toddler be forward facing now?

My husband thinks he should still be rear facing but I think he needs to be forward facing now because he’s tall and it’ll make it easier for him to climb in his seat plus easier for me to get him in and out. He will be 2 June 25.

The reason you stopped breastfeeding?

I want to find out the reasons why the majority of women stop breastfeeding by 6months. If you’re not producing enough milk or your baby just will not latch, then I obviously get that. But I’m finding people’s opinions on it are sooooooo varied, it’s fascinating how different everyone’s experience is.

I can’t stop crying

Can anyone relate to this? My girl is 3 months, will be 4 months of the 16 of this month and she absolutely doesn’t sleep. She doesn’t take naps during the day because I’ve been trying to train her to sleep without me. She’ll have about 2 contact naps with me not lasting longer than 2 hours, if even that. She doesnt go to sleep at night till about 12 in the morning and then is up again around 3 or sometimes 5. But then once she’s up again it’s so hard to get her to sleep again she literally refuses and fight the sleep. Idk what to do at this point. I’ve tried the schedule, I’ve tried baths, I’ve tried letting her fall asleep on me…but the minute I set her down she’s up and talking and thinks it’s a damn party. I can’t stop crying because I don’t get any sleep at this point.
When she was a newborn she was up ever 2 hours on the dot. And now this…

Am I wrong for not offering my baby a dummy?

I always said I didn’t want my baby having a dummy because I knew kids in school that still had dummy’s and heard parents talking about how hard it is to get their children to give the dummy up. So in my head I thought well if she never has a dummy that won’t be a problem right? But my baby is now 3.5 months and I keep seeing things about dummy’s reducing the risk of sids but I still don’t want to offer her one through fear of her becoming reliant on it.
So am I a bad mum for not giving her a dummy?

Antidepressants while pregnant

Has anyone started on antidepressants whilst pregnant and never had them before?

I’m really struggling with my mental health right now and think I have done for a long time. I had therapy after my first baby because I was struggling but I feel like even the coping strategies they gave me during therapy aren’t working now and I might need to ask my midwife if I should go on antidepressants. I’m just a bit worried about how they will affect me having never been on them before, plus already having a toddler to take care of at home.

Any advice would be appreciated

Post-partum Struggles - any one relate?

Hey, I had my baby girl 17 days ago, I’m struggling bad with anxiety around the baby. Whether it be her breathing pattern changes, mucusy wheezy sounds, her crying for hours and me thinking I’ve not done enough. When she was born (c-section) she spent her first night chocking on mucus and the midwives are telling me it’s normal but it doesn’t make it less distressing until she finally got help and had mucus suctioned out of her. This is where my anxiety hit its peak.

Her dad is amazing however he will need to go back to work soon, I’m so scared to parent alone. I don’t have a support network, and my family work so I truly am alone and worry about what I can do☹️.

The best way to describe is that I’m scared of my baby, I love her unconditionally but she terrifies me.

Is anyone else struggling similar, or have the same worry’s or experienced the same things?

Thank you🩷
