Head banging

Anyone else's baby started head banging? My 10 month old will repeatedly hit herself in the head with her hand or try to bang against something when trying to get her down for a nap or bedtime. I've been finding this quite upsetting and worrying. Anyway I've come across this article that I found very helpful and reassuring and thought I'd share just incase anyone is experiencing the same thing!

Anyone found anything that helps them stop? I’ve tried ignoring her when she does it during the day as I think it’s an attention think but she just does it even more to get my attention! I don’t know what’s best!

Did you know this was a thing?

Didn’t know this existed! I’m actually not breastfeeding 2nd time round (though wish I did) after a bad experience with my 1st baby. But this is something I 100% needed 1st time round.

Screeching baby

I have twin boys, 5months.

One is very quiet

The other... is like a pterodactyl who screeches when bored, tired, hungry, as soon as he wake up to be held etc...
This habit has only just started!

Has anyone else experienced this and how long did it last?
So far it has been about 5 days 😭😭😭😭

Joie Signature Parcel LX lightweight stroller

Has anyone got this stroller? Up until now we have used our mamas and papas ocarro and we love it. However we are going on holiday in June and looking at a lightweight stroller to take with us. I'm not bothered if it fits in overheard locker, I would rather have decent wheels on the stroller and this one does have slightly bigger wheels than most travel strollers we have seen. Has anyone used this stroller abroad or got any other recommendations? TIA x

How do you dry your 🐱?

Looking to settle a debate with husband, he is teaching our girls to dry themselves after they shower, i am teaching them to dry to a certain point on the inside but not between

Fighting naps

Does anybody else feel like they spend all day trying to get baby to nap? I get tempted to give up as he must not be that tired but he is too cranky to play or do anything else!
