6 week fussiness
My very chilled out newborn seems to have been swapped overnight 😅🙈 we’re at the 6 week mark and now she’s no longer doing decent naps, wakes up as soon as there is any background noise, wakes you up as soon as you sit down if she’s sleeping, cluster feeding constantly. Can’t be put down.
Anyone else experiencing this all of a sudden?

I hear there is a dreaded 6-8 week phase which sounds a bit like this. My baby is only just under 4 weeks and im slightly terrified for a few more weeks 😂
We are currently dealing with this 😠she’s 6 weeks on Monday.
My little boy is 8 weeks now and he sleeps fine at night but we've just had a week of screaming for hours in the evening and not napping in the day, followed by a week of no screaming but minimal sleeping, 4/5 hour wake windows, napping off boob but wake up if you tried to move him, 30 mins naps. So grumpy about it too, had to be held no bouncer or play mat or sling.
We've just about got back to normal where he'd sleep more regularly but we've just done his vaccines so probably all gone out the window now haha.
My baby is 5 weeks and he's suddenly so fussy :( he will only sleep in my arms and his naps are all over the place and he cries way more - it's making me real overwhelmed :(
Mine is 3 weeks and I feel like she's been doing this since birth 😔
We’re 6 weeks on Monday and I know there’s a growth spurt & developmental leap at this age.
We have had a fussy day today, short naps & now an evening of cluster feeding. Hopefully it’ll be over soon!
7 weeks 3 days. Very much hoping at 8 weeks it's like a switch again 😂😂

Baby proofing
My baby is 9 months and walking up and down the house.
Does anyone have any advice how to protect him from the bottom of the radiator. When he have washing on it he goes over but worried hes going to fall and hit his head on the metal part. Hes mostly a confident walker but when it goes from rug to floor it can sometimes throw him off

4 month old regression
Is anyone else’s 4 month old refusing to do anything other than be held.
The whole of her 3 month she was completely fine loved playing on her mat, wanting toys more than wanting to be carried etc and now all she wants is to be carried around the house.
She also started making these grunting noises and loud shouts, like she’s crying or taking a poo, but then stops and smiles. Honestly scared me the other day coz I thought she was having a fit, her squeals went on for hours.
Is any of this normal? Feel like I’m losing my mind ðŸ˜

What happens if I tell someone I can't cope
Pregnant, with a toddler. Very emotional and just sad. As Title said, what happens if I tell the midwife/GP I'm not okay? Will they have social services involved re my toddler? Will it go on some record and I cant never escape it. Because that would both upset me more. I'd never hurt myself or my children, I'm just struggling being sad and exhausted and not sleeping. Would they leave me alone and just give me antidepressants?

Long naps - would you wake
If your baby has a super long nap (like 3 hours), would you wake them at this age?
She did semi wake during the nap and I shoved my boob in her mouth but she only had a tiny amount. My main concern is she's not eaten much for a while ya see!
