3 month breast feeding ‘crisis’?

Is this a real thing? My little boy is 3 months and 2 weeks and the last couple of days is becoming frustrated and upset when feeding (not every time). He feeds for less time which I think is normal now my supply is regulated but is sometimes finishing feeds by crying, he larches/unlatches more frequently or will make a lot of noise whilst still latched as if he is uncomfortable/upset. He’s having plenty of wet nappies so I am assuming he is still having enough milk.

He’s never been like this before and I’m wondering if there is something I need to change or if it’s a case of riding the storm until he settles back down.

Any advice / reassurance is welcome!

Can’t stop falling asleep

I keep on falling asleep with my baby in my arms while feeding. He’s only a month old and I share a bed with my partner and loads of pillows. Bed sharing seems the obvious solution but I thrash in my sleep. Today I woke up to my baby in my arms and realised I had them there for maybe an hour. So scary! He’s slipped before in my arms and luckily I woke up to move him . My partner says I NEED to change this as it’s only a matter of time before something terrible happens and I agree.

I have talked to Midwives at my appointments and their advice does not help. I just blank out. What should I do?

My daughter won’t let me change her nappy

She’s almost 2 and it’s only at the house, when we’re out she lets me take her the changing room fine but at home she gets so angry and thrashes around. Shes started to wriggle away from me mid 💩 change and then sits on the floor so it goes everywhere. I feel like I’ve tried absolutely everything. I’ve tried changing her exclusively on the changing table so she gets the message that it’s time for a clean nappy. I’ve tried keeping it casual and just popping her down on the floor or on the sofa. I let her hold toys, give her a wipe. We’ve tried pull up and she’s does exactly the same but just stood up.

I’ve even tried introducing a potty but she just doesn’t get it yet at all.

I can’t work it out why she hates it so much. She’s definitely not in any pain or discomfort. I’m praying this is just a phase. Help please 🙏

Napping routine at 15 weeks?

Hey everyone, my baby is now 15 weeks. Interested to know where everyone else is at re naps and routines? My baby is fairly good at going to sleep at night - we have a loose routine that seems to be working well. However during the day it’s still a bit unstructured - he does a lot of contact napping and uses the boob to get to sleep. Starting to think about trying a slightly more fixed routine, so interested to know if anyone is already doing this, to get a sense as to whether or not 15 weeks is too early etc. Thanks all!

How do you stay sane?

At home with a 12 week old and will be alone with her now that husband going back to work. Idk if I can do it alone and I’m worried I’ll go crazy just doing baby stuff constantly. 🥺

When did your baby first start crawling?

I’m a first time mum, don’t get me wrong, understand that all babies are different, but I would just like some reassurance.
My baby is 8 months old, we’ve had no interest in crawling, pulling self up, walking along furniture or going from tummy to sitting or vice versa.
I’m in a group with other babies the same age, and everyone’s babies seem to be doing all these things…
I wasn’t worried until I read what other babies were doing at this age, and it seems like a lot compared to what my baba can do.
I just don’t want to fail her. Please let me know if your baby was “late” or took a while to reach milestones.
Thanks in advance xx
