Tips for growth spurts?!

Baby girl is 5 weeks and the last 2 days has been very fussy, sleeping less/fighting sleep and eating a lot more. I know this is all normal for a growth spurt but I’m interested to know any tips you all may have to help us help her through this 💕 I know it’s normal but anything you’ve found that has helped soothe your little one would be amazing. She gets so worked up and overtired and it makes me so sad. TIA 🌿

Same boat 🥲

Mine just finished a growth spurt I think. She's 6 weeks. I basically just did everything I could to keep her from being super fussy and I fed her however much she wanted. Kind of just gotta push through. Good luck!! I think what helped most was just holding her most of the time. You can try feeding your baby until she falls asleep if she's getting overly tired. It might help her fall asleep.

thank you! How long did yours last

I think it was about a week and a half. I'm not exactly sure when it ended because she then started having stomach issues and was still fussy.

hmm ok, our little girl is having spit ups and I think tummy troubles as well… hopefully they go away!

Hi all, do many people use Napper/Huckleberry? If so, do you feel it is actually beneficial?

Also, is it best to get the paid version?

Tired of hurting.

I just moved in with my best friend today after an awful break up. She has a new boyfriend and he was saying things that didn’t add up. Saying he was in the military, was in war and has ptsd from shooting people, etc. he’s only 20 and only graduated from high school 2 years ago in June. He lied about getting in a bar fight and almost killing someone when in fact he had charges for stealing and using someone’s debit card. I brought these up to her which she then told her sister I blew it out of proportion and she left for the weekend… I’m having a really hard time because I just want to feel like I’m not upsetting someone for once. I looked into these things because he’s going to be around my baby. I’m just tired of hurting.

Feeding issues

Hi all!
My baby has been constantly crying , more so starts evening time, she’s inconsolable. I’m an over supplier and I’m not sure if she’s just getting top layer of my milk causing digestive issues. She also had tongue tie which was done 2 days ago (she’s 5 weeks)
I’m at a loss, I’m so unhappy with my breast feeding journey so far, ay one point I’m crying so much my husband looked at me like I need to be sectioned. It seems silly to stop feeding if I have plenty of milk but I feel like it’s causing a lot of issues for my baby, tongue tie didn’t help either

What do I do? Do I end my bf journey here for my sanity and fit her as she may not be getting the bottom layer of my milk
I’m just drowning her with my let downs and the watery bit of my milk

(I don’t want to pump before I feed every time to get rid of some, it’s exhausting enough)

I DONT LOVE YOU

My 4 year old when she doesn't get her own way will say this.
I get she doesnt understand it fully or mean it but and after she calms down says sorry or will shout I love you after.

Universal credits appointment

My boy has just turned 16 months, and already UC are starting to book 3 monthly calls with me with regards to work. My 1st call was 3 months ago , and I had to upload my CV.

I thought they didn't expect you to start looking for work until your child was 3 year old?

I've never been on UC before so if anyone can give me some more info please
