1-3am witching hours for my 6 week old
FTM...My daughter is 6 weeks and has been doing good with sleep except from 1am-230/3. We have tried giving her extra bottle, holding her, changing, etc. But nothing seems to really soothe her that much over those 2 hours. I can normally settle her a little at that time letting her lay on me, but even then she is fighting it at times. Its not even like she is wide awake, she is still tired/sleeping while fighting actually going back down.
Anyone alsongo through this or going through it and have any tips or suggestions?

Yes, same here. My son just cries and not much soothes him. I just tough it out. At that point I can't keep my eyes open so my husband takes him and soothes him to sleep and then puts him down while I nap. We're just doing shifts at this point.
Ugh girl same here. I was told by the pediatrician this is normal at this age and they’ll outgrow it. We were told the three S’s. Swaddle, shush, and sway. Even putting them in their car seat and going for a little drive. Not ideal but we were told it was okay to do once in a while. Even a warm bath might help. Honestly for us what has worked it co sleeping. It’s scary at first but I accidentally did it with my son and it was the best he ever slept. We don’t do it all the time but it definitely does help.
Babies sometimes just go through spells like this. It hurts to not be able to figure it out and sooth them, but it wont be like this forever
I had to increase his bottles by an ounce which has helped with sleeping at night but then usually takes me a while to fall back asleep and before I know it time is up and he wants to be fed again

The triggering topic of jabs!
Just want to get everyone's opinions on jabs for their babies. I would never personally attack someone for their decision but I find whenever I post about this topic I always get personally attacked for having a different perspective. For reference, we as a family don't have them through personal choice, and children are thriving and hardly ever get sick!

Mosquito bites 🦟
Am I the only one covered in mosquitoes bites? I lived in London for many years and never had that many bites before. Now it’s looks just as bad as when I used to live in a tropical country.
Are there any effective mosquito repellents I can buy in the Uk?

4 month blues
Is anyone else the other side of the 4 month regression? Looking for some light at the end of the tunnel! I genuinely don’t know how much more I can take hourly/45 minutes waking and my partner works 13 hour days and no family to come over so I can rest at all :( my LO also has terrible reflux which makes settling him to bed a long process too. I feel so sad and exhausted all the time and just want to run away!
