So one day do they just suddenly understand? I spend the entire bath time saying ‘sit down in the bath please’ immediately stands up again ‘sit down in the bath please darling’
At what point is ‘sit the duck down or your getting out’ acceptable
More or less normal is my ultimate goalTMe will be 2 in April and is still fed back to sleep. Does the job, everyone wins in my book! I did The same with all mine and my older kids are all more or less normal, so do not worry!
Some are more so than others. The girls are both relatively normal. The boys are both wackos. We joke they are from alien planets as our eldest son is just bonkersMore or less normal is my ultimate goal![]()
Have you tried nipping out in the evening to see what he is like? I have felt the same with all mine, and if I ever have had to go out for something they have always been absolutely fine with my husband while I’m out. If I was in the house and tried to leave them with him it would be screaming and crying for me, but when I’m not they have always just accepted that he is doing it that night and it’s never been as awful as I’ve feared.If night milk at 15 months makes you a bad mum, sign me up to the club!
We finally got Boddler SI taking a bottle again after months of refusal. He won’t have any defrosted breast milk at all, and was hit and miss with fresh. But the Alpro toddler oat milk he goes nuts for!! And when we’ve tried soya. And when we tried a pre-sale sample of powdered toddler blend pea milk. So there’s just something wrong with *my* milk, gonna try not to be offended
Problem is, he’ll now sink a bottle at night and then even if he’s full and hasn’t finished it, still then asks for boob. Boobs all night. Boobs in the morning. Then pesters for a bottle of milk too.
He does still have a day feed now and then if we’re at home. Probably because the opportunity is there and if we’re staying in it’s possibly cos he’s a bit ill. But this week he’s asked out of the house for the first time in ages, and when we’ve been out doing interesting stuff too.
I know I’ll be a bit sad when our feeding chapter closes, especially with how long and hard it was to get started. But I thought the transition off/to less frequently would be much further down the road than it is. I still genuinely don’t feel able to leave him at night, even just for the evening I mean, if I know he’s had plenty to drink and try to leave my husband to settle him, he’ll just howl himself unwell shouting mummmmy.
I don’t know how to get past it. My group of mum pals all have younger babies and are on about having a mum night out soon and I feel stupid saying I can’t go, a couple of them are breastfeeding and can manage it.
I would just like to be able to enjoy leaving the house by myself in an evening before we hopefully go down the route of baby 2 too. Before pregnancy fatigue has me in bed early and before I’m doing newborn life again, I just want to do things like go to Zumba, or go to mooch in Boots or pop to see a pal. At the min I feel chained to the house from 6.30pm
Anyway moan, hi.
We do try most weeks with me staying downstairs and trying to completely stay out of it, but eventually Mr SI always tags me in as he just gets hysterical. I last tried going out just to run an errand a couple of weeks ago, was only out about 40 mins and he was in a right state when I got in. Racking sobs, wet tears, full of snotHave you tried nipping out in the evening to see what he is like?

Your boobs all night boobs in the morning bit made me smile because that is definitely life here too. I always say he needs his “go to sleep” boobies, his “stay asleep” boobies and his “wake up” boobies.![]()
I know this isn’t really helpful today, but it honestly doesn’t last forever. In the past I have felt so trapped, tethered to the house and the baby, and just so down about it. So I 100% know how you feel. It’s exhausting and can take such a toll on your mental health. But it does get easier as the months go on (and then we won’t talk about having another oneWe do try most weeks with me staying downstairs and trying to completely stay out of it, but eventually Mr SI always tags me in as he just gets hysterical.

Hates his dad 7pm-5.30am, he properly pushes him away. Mr SI is so gutted about it. But then when he’s at work the boddler spends the day calling and looking for him, classic.
One day something unmissable’s going to come up and we’ll have to just get on with it I guess. I’m lucky that I wfh at least once a week so try to squeeze in stuff like the supermarket on my lunch that day, it’s just the gym classes that I can’t really fit anywhere else as I’m at the mercy of when the stuff I like is on, and it always clashes with bedtime at the mo.
They drugged us insteadVery genuinely don’t know how any generation of parent prior to us survived without dancing fruit, jumperoos and melty sticks
Do you think you can get your hands on these drugs for the plane and entire holiday? Asking for a friend xoThey drugged us instead

There is perhaps an online chemist that does still stock said drugs our parents used in the 90s.Do you think you can get your hands on these drugs for the plane and entire holiday? Asking for a friend xo
