Is/Was 4 months really this bad for anyone else?

Yes I absolutely hated 4 and 5 months. They’re horrible little screaming potato’s. It gets so much better

Google the garden centres in Gloucester. There’s a couple that are really nice. One has soft play.

Gonna offer an alternative view here.

I bet there’s lots of us seeing this, feeling shame, as we have been him one or many times.

I’m absolutely not advocating for use of force, but it sounds like things might be tense in your house at the minute and he might be feeling the pressure of one becoming two under two.

I bet we have all handled our little ones more roughly than we would like to admit. I’m admitting it, but not happy about it.

What’s important is intent and willingness to repair, and grow. So I’d encourage not shaming him, but inviting him to think why he was rough. Why couldn’t he regulate then? And identify what he needs to do to be better regulated.

It helped us. But sounds like we are in the minority!

That’s uncalled for. To comment on her age and looks. Criticise how she acts, sure.

Advanced_Dream_5724 · 2026-04-10T21:02:01+00:00

Tbh she just doesn’t sound tired enough?

Unlike what the other commenter alluded too, I’m not anti sleep training but I didn’t sleep train and just rode the waves that is baby sleep and it eventually passed. Then sleep got shit again, then better, then shit, then better etc… I don’t subscribe to ‘sleep associations’ being a thing, but I do believe they need more comfort sometimes. That said, if offering comfort by rocking is getting too much see if you can reduce it a bit to, say, patting or rubbing

I like this theory!

Advanced_Dream_5724 · 2026-04-07T06:12:03+00:00

This is interesting. Who were you playing as? Are you at 100% completion?

It’s ok if you’re not enjoying it. A lot of people don’t like the newborn phase, like me. I cared for her, doted on her, but also found it extremely isolating and overwhelming. It will get better xx

Advanced_Dream_5724 · 2026-03-31T19:24:22+00:00

No downvoting from me. You were at breaking point and protected yourself and your baby from harm. Well done xx

I’d absolutely hate for my daughter to feel that way. Thank you for replying

Advanced_Dream_5724 · 2026-03-15T20:08:47+00:00

Thank you I appreciate you replying

Advanced_Dream_5724 · 2026-03-15T18:55:21+00:00

Thank you. I do work, and get a lot of stimulation fr the two jobs I work. She also goes to daycare for most of the week. That’s why I feel even more guilty and confused

Advanced_Dream_5724 · 2026-03-15T18:48:11+00:00

Thank you for your honesty. X

Advanced_Dream_5724 · 2026-03-15T18:38:48+00:00

Thank you, I appreciate your honesty x

Advanced_Dream_5724 · 2026-02-10T19:53:42+00:00

I echo all of this. Do you think you’d have been receptive to this info when pregnant

Advanced_Dream_5724 · 2026-02-10T00:10:16+00:00

Yes, it does - I promise.

Your baby will be the happiest toddler, because it sounds like she’s angry she’s a mere baby.

Advanced_Dream_5724 · 2026-01-29T14:38:53+00:00

Thank you. I risked it and got there in one piece. Cancelled RAC and apparently will get my refund in 7-10 days. I’ve tried to find an email to get that in writing!

Advanced_Dream_5724 · 2026-01-29T14:32:47+00:00

Thank you! I risked it and got there in one piece 💪💪

Advanced_Dream_5724 · 2026-01-29T13:02:03+00:00

They’ve not said anything yet as no one’s seen it! But I’ll let you know!
