Won’t sleep, help😭

My usually good sleeper has woken up every night multiple times over the last week from 1/2am and there is nothing settling him😭 He wakes up crying so we go down, but he’s fine and lies there with his eyes open. Soon as we leave the room he’s hysterical again. There is literally nothing we do that works to get him back to sleep. Both my husband and I are shattered. He got HFM end of last week and it’s completely messed everything up. He’d finally made really good progress with his nursery settling last week and I just know this will have set him backwards as he doesn’t want a dummy for comfort and is fighting any sort of sleep. At our wits end now and don’t know what to do as he’s never done this before. I’m wondering if I need to keep him off nursery while he is so unsettled and is likely to struggle sleeping while there. My alarm goes off in less than 2hrs for work and he still hasn’t gone back to sleep😫😭

Starting nursery is notorious for throwing off sleep as separation anxiety kicks in. What happens if you put him in bed with you? x

My husbands BM

She’s always trying to throw shade at me by calling me a big back but I laugh bc if all you can do is try to make fun of my appearance while I’m 12 months postpartum, than I’m winning. She can’t say I’m a bad mom but I sure as shit can scream that about her at the top of my lungs. She is bipolar, always high, speeds with her 4 children in the car, doesn’t bathe them, according to my SD she cannot cook, has her kids failing and missing school and is a terrible person. But sure I’ll be a big back while she walks around looking like a 12 year old boy and the aliens from men in black.

So tired of seeing the subs and being the bigger person to keep my mouth shut.

8 week immunisations

My baby has his 8 week immunisations tomorrow, we have the calpol at the ready and a free afternoon for plenty of cuddles. Any other advice would be truly appreciated.

Epidural

Hey all! I had my little girl 10 weeks ago. I ended up having the epidural after already having a long labour, I was exhausted in the end, I made a decision to have it.
I am still having a bad lower back and some numbness in my left knee. Has any else experienced this.

Maybe doesn’t help, I had emergency forceps delivery, so I had to be numbed on top of the epidural I was pumping into myself also.

Approach to public breastfeeding?

And if you’re not a FTM did your approach change with subsequent babies?

Bottle Feeding at 5 weeks

My baby is 5 weeks old and is on 5oz every 4 hours which works out to 5 feeds a day so 25oz a day. What’s everyone’s 5 week old on or been on? Am I feeding her too much?
