Bloody tough isn’t it.Snap but the pair of them
Don't worry too much. The fabric is made breathable for this exact reasonHey guys! So baby boy is 4 weeks old almost! He’s giving me the fear of god… I literally stood and rocked and bounced him for an hour tonight to try and get him to sleep and he wouldn’t so I put him in his next ti me and the only way he wants to settle/sleep is with his face pressed against the side of the next to me. Not the mesh part the fabric part but if I move him he wakes and screams I honestly dunno what I’m meant to do he’s not happy till he’s in that position he squirms and moans till he gets it
Also there’s now no point in me going to sleep cause he’ll be wanting a feed anytime. No one tells you how exhausting this is
I'd love to know what it was poor things are driving is us all madBloody tough isn’t it.
That’s not a bad idea actually! We got a fairly cheap mattress and she’s way more comfy on ours so I think changing the mattress is a great shout! Plus if you end up sleeping in her cot at least you’ll have a comfy mattress in there!So Twin 2 seems to settle much better on our mattress. Obviously it's nice and soft.
When we bought the two cots and mattresses we bought the cheapest mattresses that went with them at smyths, obviously because there's two of them.
So have I just spent £90 on a foam cot mattress at smyths hoping it helps her sleep. Of course I have.
I can't have her in my bed, she's the baby I have nightmares over she's the reason I didn't sleep for the first 8 months, so her being in our bed really makes me worse.
Will it work? Doubt full. Am I skint? Of course its the 9yos birthday in 2 weeks.
Will I get any sleep, probably not
I'm so tired my head hurts and I've just got two tiny humans wailing at me
That's actually a brilliant idea! Just got myself a new bed haven't IThat’s not a bad idea actually!

I don't have much advice but trying for the baby rarely works and you are not being selfish.This isn't really specifically baby related but wondered if you helpful mums have any advice please.
I'm verging on leaving my partner because I'm just so unhappy. I've walked out 3 times in the last couple of weeks alone because it's just been too much for me.
It's really hard to say why I feel like this as on the face of it all the reasons I give for why I'm unhappy are minor. But I think I'm at the point of having so much built up anger and resentment towards him that I can't see a way through. Every time we get to this breaking point he says we need to try harder, but I don't know what we are supposed to do.
I think a lot of it has to do with the "mental load" of having to be the primary carer for the baby (and dog) and running the household. But some of the bigger "chores" like cooking and laundry I actually somewhat enjoy doing as it gives me headspace. Also I'm a total perfectionist so I really struggle when things aren't done the way I would do them (I realise this is my problem not something he is doing wrong).
The resentment partly comes from how much I feel I have given up for us. I sold my house last year and moved into his, in a fairly rural location and into a house that needed a fair bit of work doing to it. I moved here on the promise that the work would get done and we'd find somewhere together. It took over a year to get the work finished and then I still had to push him to get the house on the market. Now the house is sold and we are struggling to find somewhere to move to (not helped by interfering in-laws). So we face having to rent somewhere and moving house twice, which scares the life out of me. With how our relationship is I'm really hesitant to go through with all this and feel like it would be easier to have a clean break now and I can find another home for me and baby.
This obviously isn't an easy option as it's me that has to start again with a house etc, but I just don't know what else to do. I think the only reason he wants us to keep trying is so we are a family for our baby but I don't think it's fair to sacrifice my happiness for that, or maybe I'm just being selfish.
Sorry for all the waffle. I guess I'm just asking if anyone has any advice for getting over anger and resentment with a partner?
Sorry… I have questions…That’s not a bad idea actually! We got a fairly cheap mattress and she’s way more comfy on ours so I think changing the mattress is a great shout! Plus if you end up sleeping in her cot at least you’ll have a comfy mattress in there!
My second broke her own cot when she was 2 by jumpingSorry… I have questions…
what kind of special reinforced cots are you sleeping in? Are you all professional contortionists? I’m 5ft 6 and a size 16-18 and I feel like her cot would crumble underneath me, and that’s after I’ve tied myself up like a pretzel to fit in it
Hahaha, I stand on the armchair next to the cot, clamber in, curl up, and cuddle up to her whilst getting hit in the face. I’m not entirely sure why I get in sometimes rather than bringing her to me??? Sleep deprivation decisions I guessSorry… I have questions…

The audacity...how do I get hold of one of these days off to sleep!?Baby elf wakes himself up at 4 with a massive for the second day in row. After waking a million times in the night. 5yo was also up twice.
KW who didn't move for any of this has announced he is so tired he might have to take the day off to catch up on the sleep...
