My baby girl is 4 1/2 months and just dribbling lots, and quite fussy and lost her appetite a little are these the first signs of teething? ☁️

I’ve heard of babies teething that early. Offer her to suck on a frozen celery stick or frozen green onion. You get also get her teethers and freeze those. My baby loses her appetite when she’s teething.

Yes they are signs of teething, but also just very typical behaviour for that age. My girl was like this at that age and has only just got her first tooth at 11 months 😅

9 months and still waiting

Mine started doing exactly that at that same age but really only started teething at like 7-8 months

I'd been saying 'for sure it's because she's teething' since my baby was 4 months old, but her first tooth appeared at 7 months 😅 she's so precious BTW!

Mine started at 3 months and then stopped after 6 weeks. Only recently started again and a first tooth appeared. He's 7 months now.

Am I being unreasonable?

For context I'm SAHM and my partner works from home 7.30-5:15ish without a lunch break. Very busy and on the phone most the day
He's started going to the gym with our neighbour who annoyingly wants to go at 5:30pm every day (No kids)
Every day it turns into an argument of why he can't just go at 6pm. There is no reason to go during the only bit of time you get to spend with your daughter. He thinks I'm being controlling. I reply the gym is more important than spending time with your daughter. It's starting to drive me insane. Am I being unreasonable??

Frustration rant about screen time shaming.

I constantly see moms posting about how their baby is screen free, how they leave their baby to play and get on with stuff and it’s draining to see.

my daughter is 9 months in a few days and does not use screens unless absolutely necessary to keep her distracted whilst I have to do something or we are travelling far and she is bored of all her toys and snacks.

I have a fomo baby who is VERY active. Attention span in toys is 2 seconds, gets bored very easy, is very clingy. I constantly rotate toys, get new toys, leave her to play, give her snacks but sometimes it’s not possible to do things with her after she’s bored of all her toys and snacks. I also give her things that are not toys like plastic cutlery and Containers etc but still it lasts 5 mins.

So I have to give a little bit of screen to just quickly get some stuff done. And I do feel that there’s some type of shaming online and in real life. Even from influencers who constantly say ‘this is my baby playing without screens whilst I do things’. But it’s easier when ur baby isn’t a fomo baby. I feel like parents or moms with very fomo active babies are very misunderstood.

I do want to say my daughter has about 10 mins of screen time in a whole week if that. But also does mean a lot of household work is not done or is done very slowly :/

Also any advice would help

Wanting a divorce?

Hey everyone! I just need some advice , me and my husband been married for 3 years and we have a 19 month old . I’ve been wanting a divorce bc we gotten married way too early bc he was in the military but not anymore. Anyway the reason why I been wanting a divorce is because when I gave birth , he had told me he would stop playing a lot but he didn’t stop for days and nights. It was so bad I remember I’d spend days and weeks alone at night and sleep alone and it honestly made me feel not wanted. He stopped playing as much, only 2 times a week but he is always on his phone and when I try to ask him a question he answers with 3 words or less , it feels like I’m bothering him when I try to talk him at home. But when we are out he is normal and talks. Today he went to go play games bc we got into a fight bc I felt like he didn’t want to talk to me. I just need help or anything helps !!(he doesn’t want a divorce but I keep bringing it up )

Baby being left to cry

I feel like a bad mum.
For context I have a toddler (almost 2) as well as 5 week old.
There's some times where baby is crying and i literally cant go to him straight away because I'm dealing with toddler, or cooking etc
And i feel so bad when he's just there crying.
I feel bad even taking a shower because he often screams while I'm in there even if it's 10 minutes?
