Messes up routine

I have 2 6m olds and we were unable to stay at our house the last few days due to a gas leak. Late night was their first night in their cribs after 3 days of sleeping on a floor. Their routines have been all messed up the last 4 days and they are so tired. The place we stayed at didn't have a separate quiet place to put them down to nap so all of their naps were in a loud place causing them to be very short. They hardly slept last night but all they want to do today is sleep. What should I do? Should I let them sleep? The last time their schedule got messed up it took 3 days to recover but they were only 3.5 months old.

How do you poo? Serious question

Im at sahm with a 19 month old who cosleeps naps and bedtime. So i literally never without her. I can't do anything in peace which has now resulted in constipation because the girl never gives me a break and whenever I need a poo she decides to have a meltdown so hence the constipation. She won't independently play and even TV doesn't captivate her. Help!

Getting out

Any tips on just getting out more with the baby? She is 3 months old and fights her naps terribly, so once she’s tired she will just scream and in the house I have to stand and rock her so I worry about going out because she will scream in the car and when out in public but I’m going crazy being in the house or just wandering around the streets. It’s really starting to affect me 😢

Co sleeping

Going through 4 month regression and I’m so tired. I want to co sleep but my baby was born at 36 weeks. So the advice is not to co sleep. I don’t know what to do

How to approach advice

Hi mummas, I’m just wondering if anyone else feels this way since becoming a mum.

How do you feel when it comes to receiving advice from family, friends or other people about your baby and the way you parent?

I completely understand that most people mean well, and sometimes advice can genuinely be helpful. But I’ve noticed that when I’m constantly being told what I should or shouldn’t be doing, or hearing things like “you should do this,” “try this,” or “I used to do it this way,” I can start to feel really frustrated and overwhelmed.

Sometimes I don’t necessarily want advice—I just want to be able to talk about something without feeling like I need to change what I’m doing. I also feel like constantly hearing other people’s opinions can sometimes make you second-guess yourself as a mum, even when you were originally confident in your own decision.

I’m curious whether other mums feel the same way. Do you usually appreciate advice and take it on board, or do you sometimes find yourself becoming frustrated by it? Have you found that becoming a mum has made you want more space to figure things out for yourself and trust your own instincts?

No judgement either way—I’d genuinely love to hear how other mums feel about this.

Noisy baby

My 5 week old is unbelievably noisy while asleep so much so I can’t sleep myself, when do they start to get quieter? Google is saying 3 months 🥴

Sleep!

Anyone any tips for preventing this? He’s just turned 4 months and keeps rolling to his side in his sleep and walking up really unsettled, I try put him on his back and he just goes straight back over, I’m obviously worried about suffocation if he can’t one day manage to get himself back on his back
