Sleep training

Did you do it?
Do you recommend it?
What method did you use?

My 7mo has suddenly gone from going to bed easily to it taking up to 3 hours. She has always fed to sleep and transferred fine, but now she wakes up on every transfer or within 5 minutes of being in her cot. I'm pretty sure the only reason she goes down eventually is just from pure exhaustion.

I have tried dropping a nap, our routine is solid and has had no changes, she's not teething and her temp is fine etc

Diaper change

If baby poops just as she is falling asleep. Do I change her and disrupt her sleep or let her sleep but with poop😩? Help

Car Seat

Hiya girlies,
My 6mo is pretty tall and she’s already outgrown her car seat. Could anyone recommend any good value car seats, preferably online as it’d be easier to get?
Amazon would be a good shout, but even like Argos or something works too.

Thanks in advance xxx

I let my baby cry it out

My baby is 3 months old. We’re not officially starting sleep training but today has been brutal. He had been up for 4 hrs and was so fussy because he was exhausted, but he would not go to sleep. I tried nursing him to sleep, rocking him to sleep, walking around the house with the baby carrier, walking around without the baby carrier, laying him down on the bed next to me, having sensory time in his playgym, reading to him, singing to him, NOTHING was working. So I laid him down in his cot awake and fussy and sat downstairs watching on the monitor. He cried for about 10 minutes, then fell asleep.

I feel like a terrible mom that I couldn’t soothe him to sleep, he was just so overtired nothing was working. He’s fast asleep now but I don’t know if what I did was right. I told myself 10 minutes and if he’s still crying I’ll go try to soothe him again. But as I was literally getting up to get him, he went from crying to silence. I went in to make sure he was ok anyways because the immediate change from crying to not kind of scared me, but he was totally fine. Fast asleep.

Is it ok to let him cry himself to sleep occasionally at this age?

4 month old

Sleep regression.. what the hell is this madness 😂😂 I feel like I’m going mad he was only 4 months old on Friday and safe to say it’s started! How do I stay sane

Losing People due to life changes

So I got married last November. Pretty much conceived on my honeymoon. And we are now expecting our babygirl at the end of August. With all the life changes that have happened to me in the past year. I have notice I have lost some friends who can't grasp that my life has changed and will continue to change. Because my child ain't going no where. And will always be my priority. My priorities are different and it's like these Gen z friends of mine just don't get it. It's been low-key annoying and stressing me out because I'm like umm I can't change being pregnant and I can't change that I'm a wife, stepmom, and gma all at the same time now. My life is different. And I'm being penalized 😔 anyone else going or gone through this type of bullshit. It's why I hang with my generation and older normally. Cause zillennial (young ass millennials) and gen z just cut different (in a very immature way) .

Would it turn you off if someone you started talking to asked how your kid is doing instead of saying daughter?

He knows I have a daughter
