Crying

My little girl is 10 weeks old and for the past 3 days she starts crying at one point in the afternoon and there’s very little we can do to stop this. It usually lasts a good 30 mins before it stops. Has anyone else experienced this at this stage and if so how long did it last? She never really cried before this so ...

If you have such a sucky life you want to try to kill a woman,a dog and her daughter because she’s going the speed limit you have fucking issues and I hope you rot

Settling baby!

So my baby is a month old and is a nightmare for settling! I’ve tried absolutely everything, in the day she has 20/25 minutes naps at the most and then waking up, today she’s been pretty much awake since 10am! Sometimes it takes hours to get her to sleep and with that she just fights it, I’ve tried all sorts, white ...

Is this normal?

My 20 month old freaks out when our puppy uses the pee pad she will scream “PEE PEE” and freak out. At the dog park she will scream if she sees poop. Like almost full tantrum if it isn’t solved or if she isn’t removed. If my shirt ever rides up showing my belly it’s unacceptable and she will force me to cover it u...

Should I be concerned?

My little boy is now trying to get himself in position to crawl (getting on his knees) but his arms are still flat on the floor, sort of like an army crawl, when he's doing this he starts to bob his head up and down like headbanging 🤦‍♀️ obviously I'm worried about him hitting his head on the floor even though…

Anyone else’s baby started to give less eye contact around 4.5 - 5 months?

My boy is 5 months old today and the past week or 2 I’ve noticed he’s much less engaged with people than he used to be.
