18 day old won't sleep

I'm exhausted I feel I can't do this anymore 😞 My 18 day old has all of a sudden changed and is refusing to nap in the day.

Night terrors

My LG is turning 10 months on the 10th. In the last month, she's waking more frequently in the night, and some seem to be night terrors. Is anyone else experiencing the same? This is hitting hard as she used to wake only 1-2 times in the night. Now she wakes every 1-1.5hrs. I'm really struggling with my anxiety due ...

One very tired mummy

This past week has been so hard, I am exclusively breast feeding and baby has been up every night for hours on end wanting feeding/comfort. I am absolutely exhausted and I just can’t see the end goal of a few hours a night in sight. Please help

Crawling

My LO is almost 10 months, but hasn’t crawled yet. How’s it going for everyone else? She’s a bit towards lower percentile weight-wise. All this is making me anxious.

Anyone else’s husband/partner not get the concept of being quiet while baby sleeps?

My partner is so careless when we put the baby to sleep. During the day she’s pretty used to the sounds around the house (doing dishes, the news on the tv, some chatting) but at night time she’s very used to a calm, quiet environment. My partner works away from the home for 2 weeks and then is home for 2 weeks. When...

Multiple wake ups

Anyone experiencing frequent wake ups, like crying wake ups with baby on their belly? It’s too early in the night for her to want a feed, and when I pick her up her eyes are shut so it’s like she’s not even fully awake. I’ll resettle and transfer her and then like 10-15mins later after she’s rolled over again she’ll...

Not listening

So what do you parents do when your child simply just refuses to listen to ANYTHING . My daughter is 10 and I was window shopping going to buy her a smart watch . I asked my daughter if she liked it and wanted one and if she’d keep it on and not take it off . Then she asks if she can play the games on it during rece...

How to stop breast pumping

I go back to work on the 14th and don’t want to deal with breast pumping at work. It’s just too much of a headache honestly. But I’m not sure how to *stop* breast pumping. I assume I can’t do it cold turkey? I leak too much if I go too long without pumping. Do I just space it out longer and longer until I don’t need...

When does it get better?

I had an emergency c-section in December and I'm trying so hard to be positive but I hate my section self. I think it looks horrific on me. It's not my body and I find it really repulsive. I was a size 18 before pregnancy but I've lost all the weight I gained in pregnancy plus more and it just keeps looking worse an...
