July 2026 Babies 🇬🇧

Oh I’m over this heatwave (for my baby)

I kid you not from around 3:30PM today until now (7:10pm) I have been cluster feeding and my son has not come off the breast for more than 10 minutes!

I usually love summer but doing this year with a newborn I’m ready for it to be finished 😭🙅🏾‍♀️

Right there with you!! And the fan is just blowing hot air around. I’ve never been so excited for a little rain 😅

!! Same here, I’m exhausted and can’t help but panic whether I’ve actually got any milk left😆dreaming of autumn now

so over it! baby has been feeding all day. I can't get enough water down me! x

Mine has contact napped for most of the day 🥵was draining me of breast milk yesterday, not as much today but mainly cz he’s slept a lot.
Ready for winter never mind rain! X

I am dreading tonight as well 😭😩 feel free to come back here if you don’t end up getting much sleep
😅

I’m exactly the same, I’m expressing and I can’t tell when my baby is actually needing hydration or he’s just comfort feeding because he’s so uncomfortable. I just don’t want him to be sick

Same here. He was on my boobs all the time and then when he sleep and i try to put him down he starts crying and go back on boobs. I didn’t even managed to get proper food today because he is too irritated and just can’t let me go. I didn’t sleep much last night and didn’t manage to sleep in the day. I am dreading the night.

Same can't wait for winter

Mum Guilt

Hi 🫶🏻

Last night I snapped at my 16 month old daughter she was not settling or going to sleep I was exhausted and had work the next morning she eventually fell asleep at 12am she was fighting her sleep for ages. I just got so irritated and snappy I felt like I just had to put her down and leave the room cos of how mad I was getting. Is this normal.

As soon as she fell asleep I cried myself to sleep and I felt so awful for how I had reacted.
:( I still feel it this morning

Feeling judged.. co sleeping

So my relative is having a party soon in the evening and I've sent my apologies. Im breastfeeding and co sleeping my 10 month old. She feeds 3 times in night too. My sisters are being judgemental and making me feel bad saying I can't live my life like this e.g. never going out in the evening etc. I don't actually mind how it is right now. They dont think its right we sleep in bed together and that I NEED to get her in her own room. I feel like lying and telling them she does sometimes just to appease them. Why do people make you feel guilty for doing what works for you. Ive tried to get her in crib but she wont go. I also dont want to give her to anyone for babysitting yet. I don't feel ready. Just wanted to vent really.. feel a bit low
Edit: also only naps on me in day and they again think im being stupid but I am trying

Does it get better?

I am so overwhelmed at the minute. My baby is 12 weeks old and she is so upset for a lot of the day and I don’t know why. I feel like there is no end to this, please say it gets better as they get a bit older 😢

Single parents bedtime with 2

Please help me how are we doing this? I have a nearly 3 year old and a nearly 1 year old and every single bedtime is a shit show. My toddler won’t sleep without me next to him and my baby won’t sleep without being rocked, I’m just at breaking point I look forward to my evenings so much it’s the only opportunity I have for me time and I never get chance cause it’s just carnage for hours back and forth between rooms one will wake up when I leave to go to the other and I just can’t take it anymore any tips?
