Anyone else’s 6 week old not sleeping at night and super fussy?

My baby girl usually wakes every 2-3 hours in the night for a feed and goes back to sleep pretty well after however the past few days she’s just so unhappy and really fussy. I’m only managing to get about 2 hours sleep each night, someone tell me it gets better😭

I’m in the same boat, he is fine during the day but come 6pm, he is very fussy, wants to just be on the boob and just screams. I have my 6 weeks check tomorrow, so I’m going to ask the Doctor if there’s anything I can do x

My baby girl is four months old and she just started doing something that's so dang cute!

When I can tell she's tired, I take her up to our room and lay her down in her bassinet. Then she rolls over to her side and I lay a soft blanky on her and she goes right to sleep!! Anyone else experiencing this?? She's already self-soothing.

Nearly crawling??

My 6m old has been doing this motion constantly for 3 weeks now. Ive heard it's similar to what babies do before crawling, is this true?😅

Would you want a sink in your nursery?

I'm 22 weeks pregnant and we're renovating our Victorian house. Baby's room is being completely stripped back and redone, and there's an existing sink in there — we can either remove it or replace it with a nice new one.

We're thinking it could be handy for things like nappy changes, rinsing muslins, or washing hands quickly without leaving the room — but as first-time parents we genuinely have no idea if we'd actually use it. The main bathroom is only across the landing.

If you had the option, would you want a sink in your nursery or not? Did you find yourself wishing you had one nearby?

Others mom passing comments

So I have two little ones that are two and three. Took them to a toddler class and my two year old decides to escape out the door with the other moms that were leaving. I see this as it's happening (I turned my back for a second to get my bag) and I shout for my two year to old to stop(obviously they don't listen) then I tell my three year old stay in here while I got get your sibling. The mom that my toddler walked out with makes some comment about "haha your kids trying to leave with another family" to which I replied yeah this one is a runner, my kid then decides to run away again so I run after my kid and as I'm walking away I hear this woman make a stupid, sly comment, "she doesn't need anymore kids." So unnecessary to make these comments- then as I walk back inside the teacher for the class says she normally stands by the door but was preoccupied (which is fine I get it) but the main point here is about the stupid comments of this lady. I wanted to tell her off about making unnecessary comments and keeping her high school bitchy behavior to herself or am I out of line here? I ultimately decided to just manage my kids and go home.

I NEED TO SAY IT

why most of the MIL is bitch and don’t know their boundaries. She made my postpartum phase very difficult… I am fed up of her everyday drama and if i call out her behaviour she plays the victim card and start her emotional drama in front of her Son and make everything around so stressfull..
