I need some serious help

I’ve been tracking and noticed a pattern, every time we see my mum, sleep, our the window, doesn’t matter how asleep he is before I put him down or how well he was sleeping before, if they’re alone for even 2 seconds he just screams the second he is put down and I leave the room, he didn’t do this after it was my mum and my brother in the room and I left for 2 seconds, only if it’s only her. Every single time, nap time is a 3 hour screaming match, I cannot cope, how do I get him back to his system, he has to have it so specific or it ruins night sleep. What the hell has she done to him in the 30 seconds it takes me to step round the door to fill up his water or finally get a wee alone. Doesn’t matter if we’ve seen other people later in the day. Doesn’t do it for anyone else. I don’t wanna hear don’t see her again okay I know if this is how he’s reacting to her it’s not good, please don’t, it’s my mother I’ve already not got a dad. What the hell do I do other than remove her.

Front sleeping

Hey all 👋 might be a little bit of a silly question but here goes!
My 7 month old has started sleeping on his front (which is fine, ofc) he actively unrolls and rolls and crawls. My issue is that he is so active in the day that when bedtime comes around he’s comatose, he then slowly rolls onto his front but sometimes he is literally face down. He does move himself in the night and isn’t face down the entire time, I think he just doesn’t move when he’s in a mega deep sleep.
Is anyone else experiencing this? I don’t want him to suffocate 😅

2AM and your baby is crying.

All needs have been met. He’s 2 weeks old.
Do you pick him up and hold him til he sleeps or let him cry as to “regulate himself.” Dad seems to think he has to cry it out at 2AM verses him being picked up.

4 month regression

What the f... is this???😭😭

Its the constant fussiness and crying and the struggles to put them down to sleep.

Wow!!!!

I can't wait for it to end!!

I feel like a awful mother

It might be weird but long story short while cleaning by accident a plastic basket ended up on the cooker and start smoking the rooms. (Studio flat so smoke everywhere)
I got rid of the smoke pretty quickly and it wasn’t bad enough to trigger the fire alarm but I have been crying for the past 3 hours because the baby was in the house and I feel awful of how can I make such a stupid mistake. What if anything worse would’ve happened to the baby. What if the smoke affected him in any way. (He s alert,feeding and totally fine so far) but I can’t settle the feeling that I’m a terrible mother and I put him in danger.
My partner is keep trying to reassure me that it was just an accident and could’ve happened to anyone but I just start crying over and over again…

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

nursery, work and toddler

what is everyone doing with nursery and working? Me and husband both work full time. Today is the last settling in day at nursery but we’re doing the 30hours so we’re taking her half days. My little one is 14 months.

I’m looking after her whilst trying to wfh in the morning, settling her in nursery is emotionally draining as it is and then trying to work in a nearby cafe after is so hard.

I don’t know how I can sustain this lifestyle of wfh in mornings with her she’s so active, and very needy atm (my husband stays when he can but his job is onsite a lot).I’m typing this as she’s refusing to take her nap 🙂🙂🙂

How is everyone tackling this?
