I hated it all before that don’t worry! Honestly she will settle down but emotions are high with you returning to work (rightly so) and she’s still getting used to it. She should get into a little flow within a couple of weeksAwwI hope Thursday goes well for you both. Sorry I’m not filling you with positivity. She is fine when she’s there she’s just stressy at home bless her. It’s new to every one x
Glad you've said this as I do the same with my baby who is 14 weeks. He usually wants to be asleep by about 7pm, won't nap downstairs unless on me, and some weeks my KW isn't home from work til 10pm. If I stayed with baby all evening I wouldn't have dinner or get any tidying up done
.
So much has happened, it feels like I've been away for months, but on the other hand I didn't recuperate at all.
She also loved going there, so that helps (for anyone with daycare/nursery issues and stress: it does get better!).Uh not sure on the cat part to be honestRandom question. Because I don't remember much from the boy, but could the fact that the girls now have their own beds of caused T2 some stress? And that's why she won't eat?
Abit like when you change a room round, it can sometimes cause anxiety in a cat?
I'm aware I'm comparing my daughter to a cat here but my brains gone off on a tangent
Good luck tomorrowSo.. back to work for me tomorrow after being off for three weeks.
I feel more anxious, stressed and tired than three weeks ago. Absolutely hating the idea of going back
Kiiiinda glad Kitten is going back to daycare though, because three weeks of undivided attention has made her very needy
Bit worried about drop off tomorrow though, hope she will still recognize the daycare lady and not cry. She's picked up a bit of seperation anxiety
MrCat finally got me some nice birthday gifts btw and we went to the cat café in our city, so that was really nice. And overdue
I love that you, the stretched out-ish feline, went to a cat cafe, that’s perfectSo.. back to work for me tomorrow after being off for three weeks.

That's my thinking they've both slept much better the past two nights despite twin 2 being her usual strange self. I'm hoping a few more nights and she'll be used to itUh not sure on the cat part to be honest
But that does sound totally plausible. She’s used to sleeping with her buddy, so the fact she isn’t any more may be a stressor for her. The only way to find out would be to put them back together again though, surely? Which may then disrupt T1?
I really am a crazy cat lady, if it wasn't for MrCat and my actual cat hating other cats with a passion, I'd have a house fullI love that you, the stretched out-ish feline, went to a cat cafe, that’s perfect
It’s been a very emotional few weeks, it’s no wonder you feel wrung out from it. Maybe getting back to routine will actually help?
Hopefully as the change becomes normal for her she will settle down and stop being such a rascal about it! Is she taking any water?That's my thinking they've both slept much better the past two nights despite twin 2 being her usual strange self. I'm hoping a few more nights and she'll be used to it
Shes ate great again today but she's not taken much milk again, which I can live with at the moment but in an ideal world she needs to get back on it so I can give her meds properly rather than 70% ending up in her neck folds from syringing her
She's copying toddler me and no amount of cups make her want to take water
Baby was about 3/4 months. Kept the monitor on to watch him. I think it’s more for the whole night, not just for a few hours x
Thank you, she’s been down since 7pm without a murmur and previously she would have woke a few times by now. I bet I’ll wake her when I head up to bed
We just started doing this at almost 11 weeks!
BabyShark is 4 months on the 19th. Some days she barely naps at all, and yesterday she napped for 4 solid hours! Lots of chewing of the hands here as well. She’s sort of in a routine as in she likes to be in her sleeping bag between 6.30/7pm. But she has to mostly go along with her older siblings so no chance of a set in stone routine with her.
Yeah I think that's a big struggle for me, how much we are ruled by the toddler's routine! Like he'll go to sleep on me and she'll urgently need me to do something, she won't watch TV on her own or play independently for long so it's hard for me to leave the room to settle him to sleep.BabyShark is 4 months on the 19th.

Sending all the sleep dust your way, I remember with older ones the sleep regression started a couple of weeks before 4 months !
I find this one of the toughest ages, they get so frustrated too with not being able to do everything their older siblings do
Honestly as you’ll see from my previous whiny posts, I don’t have a lot of advice - but I do think m that some babies struggle more at night with teething and developmental things have more of an impact. We tried various routines and it just made no odds, try not to beat yourself up because I’n certain it’s nothing you’re doing wrong!!
Could getting a babysitter for a few hours one morning or afternoon help? I know it’s an extravagance but it’s something I’ve been considering looking into doing every now and then as a little break as I don’t otherwise have anyone close by to help out either.
