Soo fed up

I swear ive got the most miserable baby ever all he does is scream, feed or sleep, its awful.
(Hes my 2nd baby)

My 1st was demanding but this is another level.

He literally screams all the time if I walk away from him for wee, to do anything, he wants you 1 on 1 all the time and it just isnt possible having a 2yr old aswell.

The occasions he isnt screaming are so few I rekon I could count on 1 hand, could even be no more than 3 occasions ive felt hes not been a misery.

I just would like some reassurance that there's people out there in the same boat and that this is going to pass?

Hes 10 weeks old but it doesn't seem to be improving at all, im starting to question if maybe he has an allergy or something im ebf but I cant think of any other reason why hes so angry all the time 😭

I am experiencing this with my 9 week old. It’s mentally draining. Sorry I have no advice though 😔❤️

Based on your other post (I seen your post about the rash!) I’d say he has an allergy or something that’s making him this upset that would be well worth exploring.

I too hand a demanding first baby but this seems extreme and coupled with the rash I’d say there’s something more going on.

I hope you get some relief soon. In the meantime, is there someone who can take baby to give you a little bit of a break? You must be exhausted x

my little one is the same i’ve got a baby carrier and then i’ve started pumping and bottle feeding him a few times a day as he just wants to feed all the time and it gives me an hour before he wants to be on me again

I was going to go Dr's today but I ended up having my 2yr old at home and nit at nursery as he was really poorly and out if sorts so ive been stuck at home all day.

Im going to try drs on monday and push to try get my 10week old tested for a dairy allergy, in not eating much dairy but I honestly do not know what else it can be, and as its been pretty much since he was born a good 80% of every say is filled with him screaming there must be something wrong?

I am exhausted over 2mnths now of broken sleep and now my days are filled with screaming 😭

I do have my parents who can help but they helped me all day yesterday as I had to go a&e with the baby and they saw how bad it is with having both at home etc they stayed till toddlers dinner time. I feel bad putting it on them for help when they already do alot for me.

I dont want to go down the bottle route unless I have no choice, im ebf and thats what id prefer to carry on doing. I dont have any bottles, I tried expressing with a pump with my 1st and I felt like it was not beneficial to me took up too much of my time for little return which I didnt even use I ended up adding it to solids and baths in the end.
Was hoping there was going ti be more people say they were going through the same and that its normal as thats what every health visitor and nurse/dr have told me so far 😢

My baby is the exact same babe, it makes you feel like the bad parent as you see all these other happy babies, we’ve been at dr every week since she was 2 weeks old and she’s is now 10 weeks too, they’re useless and just palm you off and say it’s normal!

Partner unfaithful online

My partner has been sending explicit images of himself on a couples site. He did this without my knowledge and even put my initial and a fake age for me and had it set to a couples account without my knowledge or consent. He hasn’t used my photos he claims. But he says he thinks people thought they were talking to the lady of the account.

We have two children under 3. I have had HG and PPD both times, and only just getting better now mentally/emotionally. I’ve been under perinatal mental health. He’s been closed off and says he’s found it hard to talk to me truthfully about his feelings.

He said the way I’ve been acting towards him since our 2nd baby was born made him lonely and he wanted to escape who he’s become recently. I’ve felt very alone too, but have always put my kids and him above myself.

I’ve given him plenty of opportunities to talk with me and even at times almost begged him to speak to me and tell me what’s going on in his head. I’ve also been very upfront about what I need from him - more emotional vulnerability and honesty.

What would you do?

Constantly being told by in laws my baby looks nothing like me and looks like her father, and his parents and basically everyone and their mum on my in laws side

How to stop feeling so disrespected by this. It’s been going on for 5 months now. And it’s making me so upset. I’ve told my in laws it’s mean and makes me feel upset. They don’t stop. They make jokes of it now. My husband doesn’t get why it upsets me so much.
I’m fine with her looking like him but, she literally has ALL of my features? And I feel like I have no respect as her mother and I feel like my sacrifices and all the energy I put into growing her and caring for her is invalidated because I’m constantly bombarded with being told she looks like everyone else. To the point I feel like I’m being pitied if anyone says she looks like me lol

Potty training in 3 days…

Every single person I’ve talk to about potty training has said it’s took months (and some have said a year!) before their child is going themselves to the potty/toilet.

Age of potty training don’t seem to make much difference - I’ve spoke to people who started earlier and some started later and not a single one has said they done it in 3 days.

Why are there so many people on here what say it took 3 days? I don’t understand. Am I being stupid? Do you just mean they work out to do a wee on the potty but still need reminding?

Potty training help!

My little girl is 27 months and she’s been doing so well with potty training, we’ve just put a potty in the living and let her go naked on her bottom half and we’ve now had 2 days without any accidents but the issue is when we then put knickers on her we’re having loads of accidents! How can we get past this? I want to be able to leave the house without her in a nappy !

How are we all feeling?

My son is 6 weeks today and I think this week so far is the most difficult week we’ve had, although I have a feeling that may just become a weekly phrase from now on.

What’s funny is he’s had 2 really good nights of sleep this week but that may be purely because the days have been so rough. He’s struggling with spitting up after feeds at the minute, even when we keep him upright and seems to be showing hunger cues all the time and he hasn’t quite learned how to poo properly yet so we having constipation too. My washing machine has never seen so much action.

Just wondered how many weeks everyone’s at and what their experiences are? Just wanted to vent to other people in the same boat who get it. I feel like friends and family are sympathetic but they’re not living it.

My child wants another sibling but I’m a single mom

My 3 year old today said he wants another sibling to play with and to tell them he loves them

And as a single mom it was quite sad to hear because I never thought he’d ever say it , it’s always been me and him since the day he was 3 months

His father comes and goes.

I don’t know how to feel I’m quite sad

I did tell him “we need someone good & he said let’s go shops and buy them” 😂

What has any other single mama done in this instant

He goes nursery 5 days a week and twice a week his with family as I’m working .

I even buy him the toys he wants or try to
