It’s getting HARDER?!

Welp, it was getting easier, but this month….. ever since my baby girl turned 9 months on the 8th, she has been throwing the BIGGEST tantrums! Like, HUUGGEE! She throws herself back, she screams and cries, sometimes for a WHOLE HOUR! I know it’s all communication but geez, it’s exhausting. There’s one when she’s eyeballing my food and I don’t give her a bite, one when she’s hungry, when she’s tired, when she’s not tired but I attempted to put her to sleep. Tell me I’m not the only one. I’ve tried to go based on her cues and feed her and put her down before it’s too late, but then she throws a tantrum for me being too early and her not wanting it. Daddy and I are EXHAUSTED 😅

ETA: she’s not teething, all 6 of her teeth are fully out, just in case anyone thinks that’s what it could be.

I thought I was the only one! My baby started to get so angry his face gets red. Although I do think he’s teething, his top teeth are peeking through. I try to remind myself they are learning big feelings but gosh, it’s hard. A bath seems to help my little! We got this!!

My son turns 8 months on the 5th and we’ve been dealing with similar. Throwing tantrums steals before bed. Wakes up for an hour in middle of night screaming for no reason. It’s been 5 days and it’s miserable.

seems like it’s developmental then 😭😭 last night she woke up a few times screaming bloody murder! And I know what you mean, I’m trying to be so understanding but I’m ✨tirreeddd✨ 😭 oh and god FORBID I change her diaper, she thinks I’m dropping her off at the orphanage or something 😭😂

Could she be teething? They get extra fussy and it can be painful for them. It affected my babies eating and general demeanor. We gave her Tylenol a few times and it got better. I think she was just in pain.

Developmental for sure. My little seems to have new skills and a need for exploration every other day. 😂😂 the diaper changes are not for the weak🫠 his attachment issues SHOW lol oh and the occasional contortionist skills🤌🏼 chefs kiss🤣🥹

yes yes, 10000% YES!!!

When do things get easier?

As we entered the 9-12 month stage, my son started crawling and pulling himself up. He also became more clingy and does not play alone, still doesnt sleep through the night, and this week has been sick (so EVERYTHING amplified). I am tired and overwhelmed. Please lie and tell me things get better. 🥺

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?

4 month bed time

What time do you put your babies to bed?
What time do you start your 'routine?'
My LO currently goes to bed around 10.30pm, and I know i need to start bringing it forward. Everytime ive tried, it takes longer for my LO to settle.
We are exclusively breastfeeding. Any advice Mamas?

6 month old autistism

My 6 month old makes no eye contact with me and doesn’t respond when I call him. Can this just be a phase or personality trait as apposed to autism

5.30am wakeups 😫😴

My 15 week old has started waking up about 5.30am and is really hard to settle back down - it’s like he thinks it’s time to wake up for the day. He used to go to bed at 9pm and was up at 8am but now he goes to bed between 7.30-8pm as he’s knackered by then but waking up at 5.30am😴. Any advice to get him to sleep a little longer in the morning?! Even an extra hour would be lovely 🤣

Colostrum storing?

Has anyone successfully extracted colostrum before the baby’s born? Apparently it gets produced from 16w pregnant and you can start storing it in the freezer but I’m 34w looking at my nipples and the syringes on amazon wondering how it works?? Like what did you use and did it hurt? 🥲
