13 month old won’t settle for husband

When my daughter wakes, if my husband goes in to try settle her she absolutely screams
He’s a very present dad and she loves him to bits through the day but she wants me every single time through the night. I wouldn’t mind but I’m only getting about 6 hours of fragmented broken sleep and I’m absolutely exhausted from it, it’s been going on for a couple months now.
She’s at the point that she doesn’t need milk through the night anymore so we’ve been offering her water (she’s BF so wants boob to settle), we’ve also tried something that smells like me and introducing a comforter but she launches it onto the floor.
Has anyone else had this and what did you do?

Can’t cope with this

My baby is 5 weeks old. She has been crying for days.

I can’t do this anymore. I have a toddler and she’s waking him multiple times a night and then his behaviour is dreadful all day..

She takes a feed and then screams inconsolably for up to 2 hours after a feed. She then settles and is due another feed again.

I am so unbelievably depressed. I’m not sleeping and I’m not coping and I do not know what to do.

Allergy or normal?

My 8 week old baby has been pulling her legs up, grunting through the night and sometimes arches her back when feeding (and then we burp her and shes ok). The health visitor watched me feed her on Wed & said she was bloated after 2 oz which wasn't normal. She suggested she may have an allergy to the milk (we were using kendamil), her trumps were smelly and we were having to do bicycle legs often and help her to go for a 💩. Her 💩 started off as a paste like consistency and then was runny.

We changed to aptimel pep 1 on Wed and she's even worse, she's refusing the bottle, is crying out in pain and isn't trumping on her own at all and is even worse going for a 💩.

My question is... has anyone had similar experiences to what my baby was like on Kendamil, like was it normal baby behaviour or does she have an allergy to the cows milk?

Any help would be greatly appreciated! Me and my partner are going out of our minds 🙏 x

Changing bags?!

I am looking for my changing bag, I keep scrolling but nothing stands out or it’s too expensive. I want something that is practical first off but I also want it to be stylish & not £££. I have a pram organiser that comes with the travel system that I can use for small things but I want something more substantial. Please comment your recommendations!

Did you feel relief at child birth?

I'm talking when baby starts physically exiting lol, did you get a sensation of relief, like pressure leaving your body? Or even when your water broke?
My water didn't break until I was pushing and honestly the relief was crazy, like I had been holding my breath for 9 months and finally I could breathe. When I pushed her out I felt like I had been constipated for 9 months and finally pooped, except it was my baby (and probably also a little bit of poop 😂)
