6 month regression wtf?!

My baby boy was consistently sleeping through the night from 3 months old….a week before he turned 6 months it all went to shit 🤣 he now wakes at 4am/5am no matter what I do and has started having false starts 😭
Has anyone successfully come out the other side of the regression and if so what did you do?!

Going though the same thing and mine refuses to sleep during the day 🥲

Honestly my little girl slept through since probably about 2 months old.. and then same time as you it was just HELL. there’s nothing you can do. Give him as much comfort and attention as you can it’s a massive age for milestones and learning.. it took me a month of trying to fix it before I realised she just needed me to be close to her and once I took the pressure off myself things seem to have eased. I’m not gonna lie it lasted until she’d just gone 7 months and she’s still not as good as she was but she’s doing 8-6am with an occasional milk wake up. Praying for you it’s tough but it passes! Xxxx

Going through the same where my little boy just declared war against sleeping and cries when we try to put him down! Refuses feeds before bed because he knows it makes him sleepy and spits out his pacifier

Just sharing for solidarity lol hope we grow out of this quickly

My LB is the same he fights sleep currently especially near bed time he would only fall asleep when he physically cant move and the last week its been 1am bed time 😫

Going through the same, was sleeping at about 11pm - 9am now she’s going to bed at like midnight and waking up at 6-6:30

I just hope this season passes quick for us in regards to them sleeping 😂 it makes me wonder if there still not exhausted on that little sleep as i know i am 😭 mine was similar time as-well i was loving the lay-in or the hour up before to get things done

Exactly the same , had a 10 wakes ups one night where i had to get up each time and feed back to sleep but sometimes just holding her did it but as soon as i popped her back down in the crib screaming again , fighting all day time naps currently my toddler is sleeping more in a 24hr period than my 6 month old is 😵‍💫 4am morning wake ups every day I am beyond exhausted! 😭

Just had the same thing he was waking like every half an hour but he’s just had a little bit of his tooth pop through now he’s getting abit better! Hopefully you get your sleep again soon 😴

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 🤣🤣

First little ponytails

I had to.... they wasn't too tight and litrally in for like 2 minutes. But I cant wait to be able to this properly with her when shes older.

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?
