4/5+ wakings per night

For the last couple weeks now my boys been waking at least 4 times a night.
Is anyone else babies doing this or is he really doing his best with the 4 month regression 😂. He used to be a really good sleeper and I'd have to wake him for his feeds as a newborn
Last night was the worst in a while, he went to bed at 10pm because he is just so awake and excited until then, we keep trying earlier bedtimes and he'll wake up around 8/9ish and be up for hours no matter what i try.
He woke at 12:10, 1:00, 2:00, 2:40, 3:30, 4:00, 4:45, 5:40 and 6:30 🫪
Any advice on joining his broken sleep?
I was thinking about trying the HV maybe.

A video of him this morning showing you his raspberries he's been practising while he's not sleeping 😂🩵

He is adorable!! My baby wakes up many times too. Hes always been a bad sleeper. His longest stretch these days is 2 hours! I have no solution but just wanted to tell you you’re not alone!

Sounds like the regression! Ours started properly at 3.5 months and only just out of it in the last week at almost 5 months 🫠 I think it’s just a phase! We just did the same bedtime routine and gave opportunity for her to self settle especially for the first stretch but honestly would say it all comes with time!

Agree with Kirsty. Storm to be weathered and biologically totally normal. When babies barely seem to have a regression, it isn’t that their mums are doing something right that you’re doing wrong. Some babies just have a temperament that means they sleep better than others. Don’t beat yourself up, try not to stress and follow the path of least resistance to get by.

Punching bag for baby

I knooowww she doesn’t mean to, but between pincer nips, kicks to my c-scar, digging her claw toes into me, headbuts etc… she’s constantly hurting me. Especially when I’m breastfeeding. I have scratches and bruises all over. She’s 5.5m old so she can’t understand she’s just playing/learning, but I can’t help feel resentment towards her, as if my body hasn’t given enough this past year. I’ve started dressing her in baby grows with the mittens over her fingers for a bit of a break, but she fusses and wants to be out of it understandably.
I’m overtired today, so feeling more grumpy than usual

Weird item in formula

Guys I found this in my daughter’s formula last night. She’s on Hipp comfort milk. Any ideas what it is?

I’ve put more photos in the comments.

Breast milk in travel

How do you carry freshly pumped breast milk for a day's travel? I found bottles to cool and warm formulas but not breast milk.

Taking cow's milk on a long-haul flight with a toddler advice?

Hey mums! I'm travelling soon with my daughter and wanted some advice on taking cow's milk on a long-haul flight. She usually has milk when she wakes up, before her midday nap and again before bed. I'm just wondering what's the best way to carry milk with me? How do you manage milk feeds when travelling with toddlers? x

Toddler fell

My little boy 17 months fell from our bed last night in to a fluffy carpet, I couldn’t get there on time when he woke it happened within a sec and I found him lying on his tummy crying. He fell asleep after offering the breast and this morning he seems like himself no visible injuries. Our bed is a normal bed height. I’m just feeling so guilty. He didnt want to sleep in his cot so I kept him in bed like I do sometimes and feel so awful I didn’t do enough to protect him. Has this happened to anyone, thoughts and advice?

Is my 15-month-old's speech and interest in play normal?

My 15-month-old walks, says a few words like mama and dada, and is super active, but she doesn't respond to her name unless I sing it. She also doesn't seem interested in reading or playing much. Should I be concerned, or is this a normal phase? I'd love to hear from other mums about similar experiences or any advice!
