Routines.. or lack of

My baby is 3.5 months old and we still have no routine and it’s starting to really affect me - going out to meet friends or to baby classes is so stressful as I don’t know when his naps are going to be.
I’ve tried getting up at the same time everyday but his morning nap still never happens at the same time.
He always seems to be wide awake at the end of 90 minute wake windows so perhaps he needs longer wake windows? Day time naps are just stressful anyway as he’s so hard to get to sleep, we usually resort in carrier naps or contact naps after breast feeding.
How did you all start a routine, if you have one?

I have no solution to this but I am in the same boat. My first had such a solid routine by now but my second one changes every day. To some extent it could be temperament but I’m also hopeful of getting into routine asap

No routine here either. I was obsessed with routine and stressed over it with my first but honestly I’m enjoying this much more. Baby will fall into routine when they are ready and their temperament is a big part of this.

Hi mamas 💕 I wanted to ask if any of you have experienced this with your baby. My baby recently fell off the bed, and I’m feeling very worried. He cried right away, calmed down, and has been acting normal, but I would love to hear from other moms who have gone through something similar. Thank you 🤍

I feel like the world’s worst mum ever.

Yesterday my baby, nearly 1, fell from his high chair. I took him to a&e and they said he is fine but to just keep an eye on him. I honestly can’t shake this feeling away especially that I didn’t get to him quick enough. I feel like the worst mum in the world, I’m not eating, I’m not sleeping and constantly crying about the whole thing. My poor baby; he has a small bruise on his forehead and a bruise and a scratch on his knee. I’m absolutely devastated about the whole thing

Newborn advice please?

My 2 week old is going through a shift. He isn’t eating as he did when we first brought him home, he hasn’t pooped in about a day or so and he’s crying so much more. I know I’m mostly worried over nothing, but is there anything I can do to help him or make him more comfortable? TIA

Poop issue

Hey 👋🏽 First time momma here 🙈Anyone else’s baby boy struggling with no pooping? My boy is 3 months and 10 days old and today it’s his 23rd day without any poop only some smears on the cheeks! We went to see his pediatrician and I do the bicycle legs every day but i’m really concerned now about this situation. I feel lost and like i do something wrong. (He’s exclusively breastmilk fed baby).


So a little update! After his 23 days almost starting the 24th day HE FINALLY POOPED!!!! 😻💕 I gave him some formula then 3 hours later he spitted up half of what he ate then he went back to sleep woke up half hour later spitting up a little more then he fell asleep on my chest and I heard a fart… then a second fart where you know that “okay that fart actually wasn’t just fart” moment so i checked his diaper and a huuuge amount of poop finally 😻
