Too emotional

I’ve been crying since about 3 this morning it’s now 5:50 because my little girl won’t go to sleep. She woke up and just won’t settle and it’s really getting to me. I’m getting so overwhelmed with her fussing and crying and the fact she won’t settle. She’s 10 months today and I’m honestly loosing the plot, I just feel like I’m failing and I’m getting so stressed and exhausted.

It’s almost time

Ive been counting down the days to stop breast feeding my daughter. Her dad and I agreed at 18 months. Shes 17 months now. I’m excited but Im also not sure if I’m mentally ready to stop. Idk. I’m feeling mixed emotions about this journey. I need pointers bc putting her on the boob is literally the only way I put her to bed. Like let me have one night so I can sleep on my stomach pls lol

Night light - breastfeeding

I’m looking for recommendations on a night light, more for me when the baby arrives and we have night feeds/changes.

Something that isn’t too bright but bright enough to see my way through a nappy change

Thank you

6 week check with the GP

What happens at this appt? Is it mainly for baby?

Can we use dummies overnight to settle fussy baby?

Our baby is 4 weeks old and just won’t settle for sleep. We have tried everything in the books and we’re pretty frayed and desperate. What is the current thinking on using dummies? Can we use it for the overnights and not interfere with his feeding? We are exclusively breast feeding otherwise and he is feeding well. The only thing I’ve seen about dummies was a pamphlet about how to stop using them which implied we shouldn’t start…

Toddler help!!

I seriously have no idea what to do. My son turned two in June and he’s been kind of acting up and stuff but today he is a completely different baby. I am so confused. I don’t understand what’s happening at all. I mean he has his moments usually, you know, toddler tantrums and such but today he is screaming at the top of his lungs for hours, kicking, and screaming, while hitting me ripping my hair out. He’s taking down the baby gate. He’s slamming his head into the doors and stuff. Anything I try to give him to eat or something even if he asks for it he’s throwing it. I thought that maybe he was getting his back teeth, but I just need to know if teething would cause him to act like this. He’s seriously a completely different toddler and I’m not sure what to do. I need to know if this is normal I guess.
