No sleep

Anyone else’s 9 month old become a twat for sleeping? The past couple of days my little girl has decided she doesn’t want to sleep, we’ve been doing the whole routine during the day with two naps, 3 meals and 3/4 bottles. She went down to sleep at about 6:45 last night, very kindly let me watch the England game and woke up at about 12. She screamed the house down, we gave her an extra bottle, changed her nappy, rocked her, gave her a dummy to see if that helped but nothing she ended up wide awake bouncing away, then eventually went down at 1:30! Which means I’ve had probably 3 hours sleep max, as I don’t sleep well anyway. Her front teeth are coming through so I know that she will be a bit out of sorts because of that but she’s never been this bad with other teeth.
I’m exhausted, and this week it doesnt help I’ve hurt my back so I’m in pain, exhausted and past the point right now. And the exhaustion is effecting my fiancé as well we are both tired so end up snapping at eachother. I just need to know if I’m doing it all wrong or is this normal?

Sincerely a very tired, overstimulated and overwhelmed mam

Yes!! Most nights I ended up taking him in the car to get him to sleep, as he just wouldn’t settle back down.
This happened from around 8.5 months to now and he’s turning 10 month next week.
How much daytime sleep is she having over the two naps?
We’ve found 2.5 hours works perfectly for ours, so we follow this :
Wake up around 6:30-7.
Nap 1 - 9:30-10.
Nap 2 - 1-3
Bedtime at 7
And he’s stopped waking up as much! He’ll cry for a bottle around 1am and 4am but is still half asleep so goes straight back down xx

Hiya I think you're experiencing the 9 Month sleep regression I had it go on for three weeks last year, it's really hard especially when you're tired but keep pushing through it will get better xx

When do the neck snuggles go away? 🥹😫

My favorite, favorite thing is when he snuggles his face into my neck while co-napping. I need to know how much longer I have to cherish them!

Has anyone chosen to not have their children vaccinated?

If so, what were your reasons? I haven't had mine vaccinated but curious as to why others havent.

I dont want any arguments or judgement please i'm just intrigued.

Do you wake up your baby to breastfeed at night?

My baby is 6 weeks, I tried to wake him up a couple times but he was so deep asleep I couldn’t wake him up properly, he was sucking for less then 5 minutes and then fell asleep again.
Another time I woke him up and after feeding he was fully awake for almost 2 hours and since then he wakes me up when he’s hungry.
What is your experience with night time feeding sessions ?

I yell at my baby

So my 4 month old has developed a very frustrating new habit where he arches his back with all force in refusal to nurse to sleep. I know he’s tired and he needs to sleep but he keeps refusing to nurse when he’s tired. Sometimes he refuses to nurse bcz he simply just wants to get up and play.
So my milk supply has not changed, literally nothing is different than the fact that we are in a sleep regression.
Anyways, it gets so frustrating putting him to sleep because he keeps wanting to get up and then he gets fussy bcz he’s tired, I try to nurse him again and he refuses again, and we’d be literally fighting for an hour or more. I yell at him sometimes because it literally frustrates my SOUL. But then he starts crying and it breaks my heart, I feel so bad that I yell at him but sometimes I just can’t stop myself from raising my voice. Sometimes, I stop myself from yelling, put him on the bed and leave the room to cry to myself for 5 minutes and then I’d go back to him.
Idk why he keeps doing this, please help me bcz I don’t wanna keep yelling at him like this, and before anything bad happens!!!

Passcode

I wouldn't ask if I wasn't desperate 😭

Any clever ways to figure out pass codes for baby daddy's devices?

Hair

Does anyone else’s baby have to have your hair in their face for them to go to sleep ? Because my little girl has to have my hair in her face and hand for her to sleep but she’ll spit her dummy out and try to eat it and if i don’t let her all hell breaks loose 😂 is there a way to substitute this or has anyone else experienced this she’s 7 months
