Sleeping

Anyone else's baby refusing to sleep? This is the second night where my soon to be 8 month old has woken up at half 3/4 and not gone back to sleep and has been fussy and refusing to lay in his crib. We even tried his pram, as he prefers his daytime naps in his pram now and he just screams the house down. Is this teething or a developmental leap? Any tips and tricks are very much accepted 😊🫠

I'm pretty sure it's developmental as they are learning so much at this age. I really thought we'd turned the corner as we had one good night two nights ago. Last night/this morning he woke me every hour from midnight and then wanted to play at 5.45 am.

What’s their schedule? Wake time, naps, bedtime x

Our LB sometimes wakes up anywhere after midnight either for a feed or two or because he’s having a disco in his cot 😅🙈 sometimes he’ll only settle if I lie him down next to me in our bed but I move him back into his cot as soon as he’s in a deep sleep because we don’t have a sleep safe set up. If he wakes again after that, my husband can normally get him to sleep again on a bottle. It’s exhausting though 🙈 xx

How to settle night wakings without feeding

My EBF baby responds very well to feeds overnight to fall straight back asleep after waking. I’m conscious this isn’t a long term solution and we need a way of settling him without feeding.

He won’t take a dummy, patting/ hand on chest/shushing etc in crib doesn’t settle him. If I get him out of his crib he’s still distressed and I have to walk around with him for a long time and often still end up needing to feed him to get him back to sleep.

It’s especially hard at night as i also need my sleep and it’s far easier and quicker to quick feed and back to sleep.

Any advice on how I can settle overnight without the feeds?

Every night for 3 hours

20 month old starts off crying for the first hour (has cuddles) then the next 2 hours he takes his sleep bag off and does this in the cot …

I have no idea what else to do😭

Hayden Panettiere😥

This is just super sad but I think it's important to talk about. Hayden passed yesterday & her daughter is 8 years old. Hayden struggled with substances (I believe before she had her daughter, no offense. I've been a big fan since I was 6 years old lol)

What makes me really sad is she didn't have a normal upbringing with her mom. She was forced to do commercials at 10 months old. I can only imagine how her mother tended to her. She was thrown into the screens of acting before being consistently put in gigs for commercials, & once she got a big one that was it for her mom. She forced her to act relentlessly. Whether they got the job or not.

3 months ago she wrote her autobiography & idk honestly if she's truly honest in it. Idk if she knew that how she was raised with such little endearment, love, time to be such a small human.. idk if she ever connected it. It honestly breaks my heart.

So I'm wondering, do you think she passed from addi***** or do you think it was a long time trickle effect of how she was raised? She gave her daughter up to the father early on due to her issues she battled with. I'm not here to state she's a monster, I am just so sad she wasn't whole when she passed. Truly.

I personally believe that we are a product of who raised us, & that is what ultimately lead to her d**** 😢😭 I bet she wasn't loved or consoled even for bumping her head as a toddler that we would even stop to hold ours for a moment, I bet her mom let her cry it out for hours at a time & I bet she hurt her/ disciplined/ scared her into making her an actress. It's so sad. But I think what hurts most is idk if she ever knew that/ wanted to cross that bridge either. & maybe that's why she chased another reality? It makes absolute sense why she didn't fight custody and gave it right away.. so sad.

When does catnapping stop?

My LO is 4 months old and for the last one month has been napping only for 30 minutes chunks during the day unless contact napping. When can I expect and hope for this to get better?

Postpartum Hair Loss

Anyone else experiencing postpartum hair loss around 3 months? I genuinely had no idea this was even a thing until it started happening to me! 😩 Any tips for helping with it? And does it actually all grow back? 🥲

Sleeping on your back

Hi guys, I've been told so many different things about ways of sleeping. I try to sleep on my left but I always find I sleep on my back. Is this ok?
