5 month old woes

We've all been there. We are only human. At 5 months baby won't remember it so don't stress.

It's really hard when they go through the phases of constant fussiness. It's normal, but really hard.

If you find yourself struggling and starting to lose patience, pop baby down somewhere safe and just walk away for 5 minutes. Letting them cry for a few minutes while you have a breather is absolutely fine ❤️❤️ you're doing so well xxx

Honestly I lost all patience last night. My baby cried pretty much the full night, every hour and barely slept, by 4am I was so done. I felt guilty for snapping but I was so exhausted and I had no patience this morning from lack of sleep. It’s so so hard sometimes I feel so lost

The 5 month stage has been rough! We had a whole 10 days of just constant screaming/screeching and it was so so hard. I’ve had to put my little one down many times and just have a minute to breathe! Try headphones maybe?

You’re definitely not alone but I find it makes me so stressed and I end up snapping at my toddler instead which makes me feel even worse!!

Stick some headphones in. You can still be there for them but just drown out the crying sound as you soothe them.

I remember my baby crying for AGES for no reason too. It happens. It’s extremely stressful, I took it out on my partner at times. As others have said - as long as baby is SAFE (in a bassinet, crib, etc.) walk away and take 10 mins. Go into another room. They will be okay for a short period of time. You got this.
