Baby phase isn’t for me?
My baby is 8 months - the hardest 8 months of my life, am I delusional but I try to tell myself it’s ok, the baby phase isn’t for you, like I look forward to a little boy, I don’t know a 4 year old with a trip to the cinema to watch a cartoon, a walk where he picks sticks and leaves and we have a picnic!! I just find the baby stage so difficult. Does anyone else think like this?

I get it, my 8 month old is crawling everywhere, climbing etc so chasing him all day is really exhausting! I try to tell myself to try and treasure the cuddles, the sleeping on me, learning new skills etc because it all goes very quick and since it's my last baby I look at it from a different pov but I totally get your frustration.
that’s how i felt with my first and he’s now 2.5yo and snuggling with me on the couch watching disney before bed, his tantrums are hard but otherwise i absolutely prefer this stage with him and knew i would! he was a hard baby, but my second is a dream and i’m loving the baby phase with him… so it really is so different and child dependent! but youre def not alone feeling like that 💕

Sleep training
Has anyone got any advice on sleep training? My nearly 15 week old is fine at night sleeps in her moses basket in our room still but in the day she will not go down in the cot in the living room as soon as I put her down she’s awake and won’t go back to sleep 😩

How to get baby to nap without feeding?
My baby is almost 11 months old and he’s always fed to sleep even at bedtime. Now I feel like he’s starting to drop bottles, I struggle to get him to nap.
Like today, he had a filling lunch so refused his 3.30pm bottle for his nap, I resorted to having to drive around in the car to get him to sleep. I tried rocking and he just cries and tried to turn.
Any ideas on how I can start to get him to fall asleep with no bottle?

Is this normal?
Im a FTM and my 5 week old daughter is going through a stage of either not sleeping or sleeping too long, This morning she woke up at 4 and didn’t go back to sleep until 9:30, Between that time she had about 12oz of milk and slept for 8 hours, Has anyone else had this with their baby? Should I be worried and wake her up if she sleeps for that long again? Just looking for a bit of advice

3 week old rolled over
I'm a bit baffled because I didn't realise it could happen this soon. Now I'm prange sleeping.
I placed her on her back. When we woke for feeding she was on my belly. 🥴

DNA Test
My baby’s dad performed a DNA test on him and my baby without my knowledge or consent. My baby wasn’t even a month old at this point. Any advice or thoughts? He’s not on the birth certificate.

How did you get your little ones to use the sofa appropriately?
My daughter is 11months and can get up on the sofa but she jumps around on it like she has 9 lives, which obviously doesn’t really mix with a kid who has no sense of danger. She doesn’t get off safely and i can’t trust her to be on it but she’s desperate to do it since shes figured it out. Shes in a climbing phase anything she can be on she is, shes relentless too
My sons 4 and i can’t remember how i did it with him it’s like he just got it randomly, he still climbed alot but always safely
How did you get your young children to be safer on the sofa or just things in general?
