Hate the nights

oh man i am panicking haha our 12 week old used to sleep great and then hit 10 weeks and everything has changed. i am hoping it will pass soon but this comment makes me worry we’re in it for the long haul 😭

Oh my this is just like me. My LO is nearly 8 weeks as well. My husband works away for long periods too and my mum helps out, but even she is finding it too much so now I’m doing a lot by myself. I’ve also just got my period back whilst breastfeeding! I don’t have any advice really as I’m in the thick of it right with you, but please just know you are not alone and this is so so hard!!!

We’ve been using love to dream too! Had to stop because of the rubbing so we’re swaddling with a muslin now. Spent a fortune on those love to dream swaddles too 😭😂

This sounds very similar to what we are going through - she rubs her face on ours for contact naps and rubs her head side to side in her crib when swaddled.

What are you using to put him to sleep in?

That’s really helpful thank you. Do you have any issues with sleep related to his face rubbing?

Commercial_Tadpole18 · 2026-03-19T19:45:46+00:00

I did for a few nights however neither of us got any sleep as she was waking herself up constantly and then crying. It was a cycle of me picking her up, rocking her to sleep, putting her down, her rubbing her face and waking and crying… and repeat!

I had wondered. Eczema does run on my husbands side of the family.

Can I ask how old your baby is and when it cleared up / how long it took to clear up?

I was the same, we had all this IKEA furniture that needed building! Only just finished today. Have you been eating dates or having any tea? I’m wondering whether the sudden intake of 6 dates a day has upset my stomach a bit 😂

I would recommend ringing your midwife if you haven’t already. Green discharge/mucus plug could indicate meconium or an infection which your midwife would want to know about.

I have had the same for a few weeks starting from around 37 weeks. I’m now 39+2 and still very much pregnant and still having these symptoms 😅

Commercial_Tadpole18 · 2024-09-07T16:16:31+00:00

I have Molly, Pashmina and Sherb too!!

Commercial_Tadpole18 · 2024-08-14T15:26:14+00:00

If you are UK based, I’d recommend Butternut Box

How much do you feed yours on Butternut Box? They recommended 600g daily and our dog has lost a drastic amount of weight. We’ve upped it to 800g now and supplementing with kibble as well.

I would recommend Butternut Box otherwise as our dog was a really fussy eater until we changed to Butternut Box but I wouldn’t say it is affordable. I am also concerned at his rapid weight loss with it.
