Tongue tie

My baby is 4.5 weeks today, we had his tongue tie cut yesterday and I find it so frustrating the way they do things with the nhs. I asked about aftercare and they just brushed it off and said you do nothing, and very much underplayed it. My baby has been crying on and off all night and day and is so unsettled. Thankfully I’ve found some info online but then some of that seems conflicting I.e lots of info on exercises and sweeping to stop it from reattaching. They said this is not necessary. They could at least give you a heads up they are going to be in pain with it and info on the healing process, I.e what to expect as the wound heals so you know what to look out for. I left under the impression he would be unaffected.

Split nights

I’m literally at breaking point I don’t know what else to do. My 13 month old has never been a good sleeper. But for the last 4 weeks has been up for 2 hours in the middle of the night with a couple more wakes before that. We’ve sleep trained him to fall asleep on his own, we’ve capped his naps, extended/lowered his wake windows and I don’t know what else we can try. I understand they go through regressions/split nights but surely 4 weeks is not it. I’m sat in bed crying, absolutely exhausted and feel like the worst mum in the world as he needs his sleep. I just wanted to know if anyone else has been through the same or has any advice?

Doing it wrong 😴🤣

I just realised I’ve been using the Milton tablets wrong after seeing another post 🤣 I’ve been soaking the mam bottles and parts in soapy water before a wash and rinsing then soaking it in the Milton water solution. I’d then rinse once more then put them in the microwave to sterilise. Hadn’t realised the tablet is a steriliser all these months 🤣 My LO is 8 months now 🤣

Signed a clearly exhausted, lost a few brain cells mum 🤣🤣

Husband concerned with co sleeping

Been co sleeping with our daughter for a good few months now. My husband recently shared that he’s not comfortable with it as accidents can happen. He’s afraid we’ll roll over on her or she’ll get stuck under a blanket or pillow.
My husband and I are both bigger people, with me being 5’8 and him 5’11.
I understand his fear because accidents do happen, but I don’t see what’s wrong with co sleeping.
If we can find a safe compromise for her to co sleep with us.
I’m able to get my baby to sleep in her crib, which is bedside, for around 2 hours before she wakes up looking for me.
I’m just feeling a bit stuck.

Baby carriers?

I have a 7 month baby, and she is pretty heavy to hold now when I need to get things done. I’ve been on a search for baby carriers and I found two, the wildbird carrier or the tush baby with the snug. Need some opinions on which is better, or recommendations!

Cows milk

I want to have a few drinks with my sister next wknd however I dont have any breast milk left stored. Bub is 12 months 7/7 so this will be less than 2 weeks before her birthday can I give her a cows milk bottle if needed or should I wait till 12 months?

Up all night

It's been weeks now of no sleep because I seem to be in a permanent cycle of change nappy - breast feed - put down - baby wakes up. Cycle starts all over again and I'm exhausted. Does anyone have any tips?
