I feel like the worlds worst parent.
My baby is 18 weeks old and has become the lightest sleeper. I have tried sleep training, co-sleeping, feeding to sleep, rocking and patting to sleep but he just wakes up as soon as his head hits the crib. I make sure I he not up to long in the day and go over any wake windows and he lets me contact nap or put him in the najel sleep carrier but that doesn’t work at night. I’m not sure if I didn’t put him down enough when he was smaller and that’s had an effect with this now.
I speak to other mums who babies are the same age and they all sleep through the night.
Can any one tell me what I am doing wrong please. This will be week 4 with hardly a sleep now.

Don’t feel bad! MOST babies don’t sleep through the night especially at 4 months! Social media definitely screws with your head a bit. I have a 20 week old and she used to sleep through and then when 3 months hit she’s up every two hours and still is despite following wake windows, sleepy cues etc. Some babies sleep through some don’t but it doesn’t mean you’re a bad parent!!! You’re clearly a fab parent as you care so much! My baby was waking because she was cold, I put an extra layer in ( still sleep safe) and she slept bette. But your baby till find his way, and sleep training at 4 months often doesn’t work so don’t feel bad for that either 💕

girl honestly this is normal at 4 months. It’s the regression , whoever tells you otherwise is lying.
Don’t feel like a bad parent , you’re doing great mama.
It’s tiring , patience is thin & it’s not easy.
We just got past the 4 months sleep regression and I can definitely say it gets better, my girl is now sleeping 9 hours a night and 5/6 hours during the day.
There’s not much you can do during the regression stage, no matter what you do or how hard you try , it doesn’t work 🥲just stay strong and positive girl & give urself credit !🤍

I am sorry your baby is struggling to sleep, but please know you are not doing anything wrong. Some babies really struggle at this age. Some do sleep through, but it is not the norm, and it is not expected they do. I know it's hard, my baby has been having a hard time to stay asleep for weeks now. It will pass. I'm sorry I don't have any tips!
Thank you everyone. I just thought it would be over by now so wasn’t sure I was missing anything.
I’m glad I am not alone on this!

I’m sorry you’re going through this. We are too. My baby is also the lightest sleeper it is so hard as I have an 8 year old and I’m constantly having to keep her noise level down also. I wonder have you tried warming the crib with a hot water bottle first, or when transferring let his feet touch the crib first and head last (apparently doesn’t cause the startle reflex). I’m more so replying to say you’re not alone. I’m sure there are many whose baby doesn’t sleep through but I know when others say things like this we always come to the conclusion that we are doing something wrong when we aren’t. Sending you lots of hugs and some sleepy vibes to little one.
I am sorry you are to. Hopefully it will end for us soon.
We do this every night but he just wakes up. He didn’t before the regression so hopefully will go back to how he was. Thank you for the lovely comment.
How many times a month in the first year postpartum do you and your husband have sex? (Trying to figure out what the normal range is for partners with a baby!)

Some of my daughter's clothes have become so stained and most of these stains have happened while she's been at nursery.
I am struggling so much to get the stains out!
I feel like if I send her in stained clothes I'll be judged or looked at weirdly like I can't afford to clean her clothes or something?
What do you do with stained clothes?
Does anyone have tips for stain removal? Red/orange food (I know sunlight but we're going into winter where it's scarce). Brown knee stains? Just like dirt stains? And yellow curry stains 😣 help me please

This is my 4 year olds bedroom.
Can anyone recommend a bed that would fit in the room but not take all her space ?
She’s 109cm tall not sure if that makes any difference 👀.
She does not have 2 tvs the video was taken whilst re organising😂

If your partner didn’t force you to go to bed at a certain time, but got annoyed if you went to bed before he was ready or wanted to stay down for longer when he wants to go to bed, would that be considered controlling? Seeing as there’s no forcing involved just getting annoyed by it?

My 6 week old is showing signs of colic (inconsolable crying in the evenings for hours, brings his legs up / kicks around a lot, arches back). He doesn’t really show signs of reflux.
He also refuses to lay in his crib or sleep on his back.
I was just wondering what people did to help this and your experiences? Should I get some Infacol?
