Following. Mine is a beast for biting and he laughs when I tell him off 🙄

15m here too and same issue! Only when he's overexcited or tired though

It might sound counter intuitive, but it might be worth it to try and stop telling him off - once I stopped reacting to my LO biting at that age, the "game" wasnt fun anymore. They do it because you react - they dont understand it can hurt, and even if its a negative reaction, theyre at the age where theyre experimenting with cause and effect - every time I bite mummy, she does x y z. If its biting during feeding, just stop the feed, dont say anything, try not to yelp at the bite itself. If its while youre playing, you can stop the game, go get a drink for yourself or something. Then they learn it doesnt make you make funny noises, it just makes the fun stop and you go away. Try not to worry about it, its perfectly normal at this age but yeah, not the most fun stage!

Yes try to ignore. Really hard not to react (I know I went through the same). I would just remove him off me and ignore him or walk away

I tell my toddler to go away and tell him I don’t like being around naughty that bite and if he tries to come back near me I’ll move away and he ends up having a little cry and saying sorry and giving me a cuddle . That’s the only thing that’s worked after trying literally everything

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

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

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?

Sleep Overs

I can’t be the only one who feels this way - I keep getting pressured by grandparents for my 6 1/2 month old to stay the night with them. She’s still an infant? Theres no reason she needs to stay the night away from us? But they keep making me feel so guilty we say no

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 😭🙅🏾‍♀️
