I’m so sorry!!
Taking my baby to the chiropractor and using earthly‘s infant tummy drops have helped my baby

I’m also struggling with a colicky baby rn. Try loud sounds instead of lullabies at night, my son does good with a vacuum cleaner video running in the background 😅. Also if you have them, wear noise canceling headphones while soothing your baby.. this has helped me tremendously. And if baby is cared for and safe in the bassinet, take 10 minutes to yourself in another room to breathe.

You’ll get through this.

Are you getting good burbs out after feedings? Gas was a huge fussy part for my littles. Try the butt wiggle to help with gas

Thoughts please?

So my boyfriend has told me today that his dad said he wants a "boys day out" meaning him, baby dad, and our 6 month old.
Now I wouldn't have a problem with it if he'd made more of an effort to see him, but he doesn't bother. He lives 10 minutes away and has seen his grandson 5 times since he's been born. 3 of those times we went to him. We keep inviting him round but he's always too busy. Most of the time when he tries to hold baby he cries so after trying to help soothe him from the sidelines for a couple of minutes I take him back.
I have only been away from my baby twice and he's been with his dad. Once was for a haircut and I was gone 2 hours and another for a few hours out with a girlfriend. Both times I was less than 15 minutes from home. Being away from him gives me anxiety, and FIL wants to take him to a zoo over an hour away. Should I suck it up and allow it?

I don’t think I want any more children

It really breaks my heart as I wanted 3 children but motherhood was not what I thought it would be.
My son is nearly 10 months old and he cries, all day, every day. He doesn’t do anything, babble, crawl, transition to sitting, or copy toys.
He is exhausting, I love the absolute bones off him and it his not his fault at all but he has made me not want any more children, I feel like I’m constantly drained, upset and worrying. I don’t even think I remember the last time I smiled. I see other mums with babies the same age and they are laughing, smiling, starting to crawl or even pull themselves to cruise and he just lays there, miserable, every single day. He was never the happiest newborn, but he’s getting worse with time and I dread having to go through this again with another child. It makes me really upset as maybe the next one will have an easier time being a baby, but I don’t know if I can risk it 😭💔

What to do?

He kept telling me 5 mins I told him no he said 2 minutes I said no ur gay what he told me
Got mad cz I didn’t wanna fuck.
My son woke up try to cuddle him and he is pushing his arm away he thought my leg was touching his leg he told me don’t touch me
Asked for his 40 bucks all rude I told him it’s in my book so he started getting almost all my books off the bookshelf until he found it
He turns on the big light to get ready for work that he wakes up my kid and brother
My kid was upset he turned on the light and asked his dad something I don’t remember what but he said shut up
He couldn’t find the hairbrush so he tells me u can’t look for it I don’t need to go to work
And he took off his location off
And he went to work

Toddler eating

If your toddler doesn’t eat enough in the day, do they wake up in the night hungry?

What do you do whilst getting ready?

This may sound like a selfish question but my little one has just started crawling, sitting herself up and pulling to stand all in 24hrs, she’d previously play in her next2me while I got myself ready and packed her bag ready for the day but that’s not safe anymore - I’m now at a loss of where she will be safe while I get stuff ready to go out!
