So guiltyðŸ˜
My little boy just would not stop crying for 45 mins and after changing his nappy and trying to feed him and burp him repeatedly he would just not stop crying so I had to put him down in cot and then just walk out.
And now I feel so guilty that he's just crying in there. But I also have a migraine that I'm battling with so I just can't deal with the crying😢

You aren't a terrible mum! You done the right thing to leave him for a little while to calm yourself. Nothing to be guilty about, im sure we all do this!
You did the right thing by walking away. He’s in a safe space and you are allowing yourself time to calm. No need to feel guilty
The other day, two hours in I went downstairs to the kitchen and had a glass of wine! You are not a terrible mum at all!!!
It's better to walk away and try again after 5/10min.
Noone really talks about the rage that can come on and it was such a shock to me when I felt it, I was scared of nighttime for ages because I felt like I didn't trust myself!
Walking away sometimes is the best thing for both of you x

Baby seats for trolleys, high chairs etc.
Has anyone got one of these from a brand they recommend? Not sure if Coco seat is a UK brand or what it's like as a company?
Thanks in advance!

Sleep regression or upping daytime intake?
My baby is 15 weeks on Saturday. He used to sleep 9ish-6am with only 1 wake for a feed. He’s now ready for bed at 7/7:30 and sleeping until 7am but waking for 3 feeds! He had dropped to 6 5oz bottle but has now added in an extra one at 11pm. I’ve tried him with some 6oz bottles in the day but he struggled with them. What’s going on? Do I need to ride it out or try and up his daytime intake?

My 12 week old uses Aldi Mamia size 3 nappies during the day with no problems, but at night both Mamia and Pampers Premium Protection size 3 have leaked after a few hours. Has anyone got tips for nighttime leaks or recommendations for other brands or strategies?
