In the trenches 🫠
My baby is almost 4 months, she was always so happy and smiley but recently she SQUEALS!!! if she’s not squealing, she’s crying, no matter what we do.
When we pick her up, she wants to move every two seconds and stiffens up and screams at us to move her, in the car, play gym, in her swing chair.. it’s relentless!!!
Anybody else experienced this?? I’m worried (although I hope not!) that because I never let her “self soothe” and responded to every sound she’s made that I may have spoiled her like people said and I laughed at?

Could be reflux/wind not being able to get comfortable.
Not sure what bottles/tests you’re using but I changed to the next size up for my boy who was the same. And added dentinox to bottles and it was a game changer
My little boy is doing this. Squeals, cries more when awake, gets bored after 3 mins of play mat, wants to be in the standing position constantly. Think its a development leap / regression. I am hoping his smiley content self returns soon!
My beautiful baby boy Leo is doing exactly the same! 😂 He constantly wants to be in a standing position and seems to want to move ALL the time!
And honestly, there is no such thing as spoiling a baby with love and affection. Babies need us to respond to them, communicate with them, comfort them and show them that they are loved, safe and respected. ❤️
Strangely enough, I’m East European and my family has always had this toxic idea that you can “spoil” a baby by giving them too much affection or responding to them too much. I refuse to pass that on to Leo. If he needs me, I want him to know that I’m there. 🥹
No wonder I love my mum, but I don’t always like her very much. 😂❤️
You’re not spoiling your baby — you’re building their sense of safety and trust. 🫶🏻

Anyone else feel like as soon as their baby turned 8m old they are acting like a completely different baby? She's become noticeably more difficult as far as behavior.
Please tell me what your experience is with your 8m old.

Postpartum hair loss
Let’s see it ladies.
You’ve got to laugh or you’ll cry, let’s be honest 🤣
Edit: this is what I caught in the shower and does not include anything that went down the plug, anything that stayed on my comb, anything still attached to my body when I got out or anything that was still in the bath when I was done ✌️.

Help!!!!
Someone please help me with some advice because I’m losing my absolute mind 😭
Baby is 5 months old, she has changed a lot in personality over the last month, more needy, sleep changes etc but have put it down to the 4 month regression and teething.
However, the problem that makes me want to literally cry is the car seat! She is totally inconsolable now every time she’s in the car. Why? And what can I do to help it?!

Who is in the same boat?
FTM to a 7 week old who has been incredibly chilled up to now bar problems with wind. From 6 weeks old he has been crying none stop and will only soothe with contact naps. I am unable to put him down and even on me he seems to wake up screaming crying for no apparent reason. He is absolutely fine at night but day times are a different story and he seems to go through a cry - feed - contact nap - cry- feed cycle until he goes down at night. I know this must be a phase but I am STRUGGLING. is anyone else going through the same thing?
