4 month regression survivors — does it get better??

Anyone’s baby hit hard by the 4-month regression but now sleeping in longer stretches again? Mine’s waking every 30-45 mins overnight (teething on top of it isn’t helping) and I could really use some success stories to remind me this won’t last forever 😭

Boyfriend wants to put baby for adoption.

My one month old has always been on the fussier side since birth, lots of crying and just wants to be held. Recently, he was “diagnosed” with colic so the crying at night has been intense for long periods. I try my best to console him but there’s not much I can do other than to hold him and give him gas drops to help. My boyfriend (his dad) doesn’t have as much as patience as I do and he made a comment while our baby was intensely crying and said “this is what makes me want to put him up for adoption”. I immediately started crying because instead of him trying to help me to console our baby he makes comments like that. What would y’all have responded or done about that
comment if it was said to you?

Nappy Changes

So, my 10 month old has discovered his willy. Every nappy change is a struggle now as he just pulls on it and im worried he will hurt himself. Its also a pain to then keep his hands away from his mouth mid nappy change when cleaning him up.

Any advise on the best way to navigate this would be appreciated.

Sincerely a first time boy mum ✌️

Nappy bin - worth it? Angel care vs tommee tippee ?

Hello
I was wondering if getting a nappy bin is worth it or not ? Or do you just use a scented bin bag ?
We also have a dog and where we live there is no bin outside so we have to put the poop bags in our house , so I was thinking maybe it’s worth getting one for the scent as it could double for the baby and our dog ?
If so, do you recommend the angel care bin or the Tommy tippee ? I’ve heard that some people say even the Amazon recharge are expensive and they just use a scented bin bag (with we do, from Costco).
I’m a bit lost of the topic
Thank you ☺️

HELP PLEASE

my mother in law has always been very obsessed with my partner I never thoght much of it untill I was pregnant with a baby boy
she would always say things like you will never love your daughter as much as your son she has always baby him witch caused him a lot of mental problems

My mother in law has continuely called my partner sexy she has also told me she had to stop herself for staring at him with his shirt off, she once asked if he was soft while looking at his sweatpants and said wow you got that from my side of the family, she has gone in his room after he saod he was geting dressed and started him and said she didnt mean to or didn't hear him, she always comes in when hes in a towel and once the towel fell as he was trying to get her to leave and she just stared down and told everyone about it, she has also unlocked his bed room door in the middle of the night to go in and give him kisses and cuddles because he wont let her do it while hes awake she used to do this when I lived with them. There has been multiple other instances of this nature.

Because of this it has put my on my back foot when it comes to her and my son being alone, when I change his nappy she sits next to me or my partner talking to the baby but also comments on how we are wiping him, because of these instances me and my partner agreed no one changes his nappy but us unless someone is baby siting, his mother didnt like this amd then complained to wider family saying we were stopping her grandmother experience. My mother in law is continually asking to have my son alone I do not work and my partner barley dose so it is very rare we need a baby super I also have post ppa and its hard for me to leave him anyway even with my partner.

Am I over reacting? I dont speak to my own mother but of my dad was saying this about me and I had a daughter he wouldnt be coming near her ever I need advice honest advice please xx

ITS COMIN HOME

Nap lengths

My boy is 3 months old. Some days he has naps that at 30 mins. Some are 3 hours. I tend to let him have what he needs unless we need to be somewhere. Does anyone else let their baby sleep or wake them up?
