Terrible ONE???

My frustration is reaching it's boiling point. My babygirl turned 1 this month and flipped a switch! She is frankly miserable! No one can do anything right. She's crying/screaming to be held, then she's wriggling out of your arms. But the ground is lava. She only wants Mama, but then doesn't want me to hold her. She doesn't want dinner. Not even snacks like cookies or puffs. She doesn't want to go to bed. She doesn't want milk. She doesn't want bottle. She doesn't want to nurse. She's waking up early every day and takes more than an hour to get back down. Like seriously all she does now is scream and cry or smack you and say NO! I just don't get it. My son NEVER acted like this at ANY age let alone ONE! I'm not the only one dealing with this, right?!?!?!

My son has thrown a fit when he tired but he has too been doing throwing a fit when he doesn’t get his way I’m dude chill out. I say no that mean no. He does hit but we been teaching him soft.

You aren’t the only one I’m going through this too I’m going crazy my baby’s not eating only wants to eat her puffs she screams randomly and is waking up way more at nite

Sounds like teeth coming in!

Between my daughter turning one cutting molars, the fits like we are a threenager, and eating constantly I’m going insane. We will get through it🫶🏻

Sounds like intense teething! Get the Wonder Weeks app to learn about the development going on around 12 months which has them seeing the world in a new way and feeling overwhelmed

agree with both the teething and developmental stage. My little one’s a wreck when her teeth her which is often. I see a big difference with Tylenol. And then yeah she just gets easily overwhelmed in tons of ways. Honestly I’m using this stage to practice deep breaths when she’s freaking out sometimes. It doesn’t always help her (sometimes it does; and she’s able to soothe while watching me), but it’s really helped me not lose my cool 😂😂😂

Teething? My 13 month old just had 4 teeth come in back to back 😆🤦‍♀️

It's like my daughter turned one amd flipped a crazy switch. I'm so tired

When does it get better?

I was crying on the phone with the perinatal mental health team today and the lovely lady, bless her, kept assuring me that it gets better. I kept telling her I hope so because people have been saying that since having my LO and it just feels like it keeps getting worse. She assured me it gets better....

Rant/WWYD

My sister (youngest, 24) has two kids, 4 & 1, and i (oldest, 30) just have my one who’s 6mo old right now, so i ask her for advice or call her to vent about things sometimes. Well im tired of her turning around and telling my other family members that I’m “losing my sh*t.” Literally have not lost my sh*t nor have i ever freaked out to her about my baby, i just call her to talk and tell her what stage my baby is in or talk through how im feeling, but she chooses to tell people that im like a complete nutcase or something which worries me that my family is going to start being judgmental about me as a mother or looking at me funny like I’m some fragile ticking time bomb.

What would you do in this situation? I’m already pretty much decided that I’ll stop telling her anything about my struggles, but I’m almost at the point where i feel like it should be confronted because she, of all people, should understand what I’m going through.

Not drinking

I’m going crazy. Baby born at 2.26kg. Slow to put on weight. This last week hasn’t put on any. Been trying to feed him at night and he’s not interested at all. Fast asleep. During day he will have 5 minute gulps and that’s it. He don’t cry for milk. I’ve got to keep offering to him. I try to offer it every hour but I don’t know what I’m doing. HV said nutrition comes after 5 minutes so I should pump first and then give him. I find it so hard. I tried to pump one boob nothing came. The other abit came. Tried giving him express he’s not interested in that too. Sometimes he will go for a longer a feed but not long at all. He’s 4 months and is currently 5.46kg. I have no family or friend support here and wish I had a cook, cleaner and nanny to help with everything so I can concentrate on the little one. I don’t know what’s wrong with him but I’m loosing it. It doesn’t help that my also stressed generally about my relationship and life circumstances. Any advice that will work. Any comfort you can give. I’m fed up. Is this regression - not feeding. He’s fast fast asleep. I’ve been trying to push the nipple in but that mouth is closed shut. I took some clothes off. Changed his nappy but he’s still asleep. Please help

Sleeping bag

8 week old in sleeping bag for first time as big enough! Do you feed your child in the night whilst in the sleeping bag or taken them out, feed then transfer back to sleeping bag before putting down?

Leaky nappy help

What nappies are you using to stop leaks?? We use pampers ultra dry size 5, and for the past few nights he has lashed through and we’ve had to completely change him during the night. Last night he leashed through twice!! He sleeps on his front and stays leaks through at the top of his leg where the tabs connect. Didn’t know whether to size up, he has a bit of a belly on him but he’s smack in middle of weight guidance so shouldn’t need too

My little one is struggling with sleep

Hey! I'm in need of some advice please girls! My little boy is 20 months turns 21 months in 2 half weeks. He use to sleep through the night now he is waking up every single night in the early morning, I've had to transition him to a toodler bed as he kept climbing out his cot. Just need some advice on what I can do to help him get back in to a sleep pattern?
