Help baby pass gas or burp

Our daughter has been having bad gas and has colic. When we feed we take breaks to burp her and try everything to help relieve the gas. We have done research and all the techniques to help relieve it. She gets the gas out sometimes but other times her belly is so hard I feel bad and start crying. Any help or techniques that work for you much appreciated!

Sleeping though

How to get my 11 month old to sleep though the night and not wake up for milk..

I just wanna sleep the whole night sick of getting woken up every single night.

Nursery settling in period

My LB has been settling into nursery this week and is doing amazing. Only cried once when we re-entered - can't lie I felt a bit betrayed having been on mat leave with him for 11.5 months but I digressed. Anyway for the last two three days he's been waking up 6am instead of 6.30am. Is this normal? Also they only do one nap at nursery at midday. He still has two naps as if he's awake for too long he becomes really fussy and whiny until he goes to sleep so I'm worried how they will transition him to one nap. Also, his nap is just before the time he needs to be nursery each day for settling in between 9.30/10am. Oh and for the first time ever he refused his bedtime bottle last night. Would love to hear your experiences and advice please.

Can’t cope with sleep deprivation anymore

My 9 month old basically refuses to sleep. He constantly wakes up in the night and like
Tonight I’ve been up 3 hours with him.

He’ll sleep in my bed but I don’t want him in here because then I’m just giving in and giving him what he wants. I don’t even sleep when he’s in my bed either because I’m so uncomfortable.

I don’t even know what to do anymore at this point. I’m a miserable person from the sleep deprivation and incredibly depressed but health visitors and doctors are useless 😭

Daughter diagnosed with not what I thought

My 13 year old daughter has been been having neurodivergent symptoms for years from age 9 more so, I have been fighting for a diagnosis and a assesment for her to get her the suport. I took her when she was 10 to the doctors due to what I thought was depression to get her support and they mentioned a possible high functioning autism into it. So we have fighting for a assesment for that for years. I have sacrificed everything my job, my life completly to support her, the half term meltdowns, the agression, the shutdowns and protecting as well as suppporting my younger 2 children. Days where she would kick the door down while I sit behind it until she calmed down as the explosion of her would be so huge I neeeded to protect myself and her siblings. I found out yesterday after going through right to choose assesments that she doesnt actually have autism or adhd but depression and anxiety as the report says and feedback video call. Not being selfish or rude. I have given up everything and that is hard to process and feeling broken and dont know what to do with my life as my litterallly when your daughter has been been having neurodivergent symptoms for years, fighting for a diagnosis and i have sacrificed everything my job, my life to find out she doesnt actually have autism or adhd but depression and anxiety. i have given up everything and that is hard to process and feeling brokengrieving thewhen your daughter has been been having neurodivergent symptoms for years, fighting for a diagnosis and i have sacrificed everything my job, my life to find out she doesnt actually have autism or adhd but depression and anxiety. i have given up everything and that is hard to process and feeling broken past few years of sacrifices and memories ruined for her doing it on as it feels purpose.

I need a bit of solidarity or some tips because I’m TIRED 😂🫩🥴🤪

Baby boy is 4.5 months, 5 months next week and for the past 2-3 weeks we’ve suddenly been waking up every 2 hours through the night. Sometimes he wakes because he wants feeding, other times he just wakes up crying and needs resettling. It’s not gas.

What used to work for my husband doesn’t seem to work anymore either, so most of the time I have to get up, pick him up, cuddle him and sometimes feed him to get him back down. He’ll wake up every 2 hours like clockwork and I’m honestly exhausted.

During the day he’s grand. He’s a regular short napper but he’s happy, smiley, smart and great kid, so I really don’t want to complain because I know these phases pass and I know he’s a blessing. But I am definitely sleep deprived and tired at the moment and I think I just needed to acknowledge that too 😂

Did anyone else have this around 4-5 months? Did it eventually settle on its own? Any tips for getting through it or helping them resettle without needing me every single time? Mostly just looking for solidarity from other tired mums
