October 2024 Babies 🇬🇧

Really struggling with the tantrums and bed time he just screams and cries at the minute when we put him to bed for ages, he’d just got into such a good routine of getting himself to sleep for over a month and now I feel like we’re just going backwards again.

I try so hard not to get frustrated with him and I don’t shout but when I’m not with him I just spend my evenings crying, it’s so draining and I feel like I can’t do anything right 😓

My little boy is still in a cotbed and shows no signs of climbing out so we intend on keeping there for as long as possible! He has a bedtime routine and is happy to get into his cotbed, and then sometimes spends the next 30-60 minutes rolling around his cot, until he eventually falls asleep. He is perfectly happy. But during that time, he takes his sleeping bag off. I’ve tried the togged sleepsuit but he takes that off aswell. So he is then just in a nappy or nappy and tshirt. I’m getting concerned that as we enter autumn/winter, he will get cold and struggle to get to sleep. I’m wondering if I should try him with a duvet, but currently if he has anything in his cot with him such as teddies, he just throws them out of him cot like a game, again not upset, just playing. Currently when I go to bed I put him back in his sleeping bag so he isn’t cold during the night, and luckily it doesn’t wake him up!

Has anyone been through this? I’m kind of thinking he will realise that the sleeping bag or duvet is what keeps him warm…

I brought my second baby home 2 weeks ago and the past few days I’ve noticed a change in my little girls behaviour, night interruptions, more tantrums over the smallest of things - I’ve seen that this is apparently normal in the beginning but I’ve just wondered if anyone else experienced this? And how long did it last? Did it get better? - my mum guilt has been awful 😔

Can’t believe we’re approaching our babies becoming 2 years old😭

I was thinking of getting him a soft play set (something I wish I got him when he was 1) but I was wondering is there any good soft play sets for 2 year olds? Or would he be too big for the ones they sell online now?

He’s also quite behind for his age tbh, he doesn’t communicate yet all he says is ‘dadada’. Anyone recommend any good toys to get him for his birthday and Christmas?

Anyone else's child waking for hours in the night? Mine keeps waking for hours at a time, perfectly fine but requesting milk.
