I am honestly at my limit and beyond with my LB and his sleep. Hes 14 months old and has never ever slept well.

I feel like I’ve tried everything apart from the CIO method as I just cannot bring myself to do it.

His WW are currently 3-3.5 & 4/4.5. I’ve tried lengthening and shortening those windows as well as trying 1 nap and nothing seems to help his nighttime sleep. We are lucky to get 2 hours before he’s awake again.

He does not fall asleep independently so every time he wakes I’m having to rock him back to sleep (I know this is part of the problem) but we’re up 4+ times a night. He will not settle for my partner at all so I’m doing all bedtimes and all wakes in the night aswell as being back at work😫

I just don’t know what to do, we’ve tried the pick up put down, we’ve tried the chair method and he just stands up in his cot screaming. He also still wants milk in the night. again I know this is for comfort rather than a need.

I don’t really know what I’m asking for here but if anyone has been through something similar…please tell me it gets better.

im feeling so angry and frustrated and so much resentment. I love my boy more than anything but its hard to enjoy it when your just so exhausted!!

I can’t go on like this for much longer, it’s also making me question if I can have more children and go through this again.

I need to know this gets better…please :(

My almost 1 year old will be starting nursery next month (he will be 1 by the time he starts) and I am DREADING it.

I really didn’t want to have to put him in a nursery, however I have to go back to work and it’s our only viable option rn.

We found a great nursery and I’m really happy with what we chose and think they will be great for him.. however the settling in is not going great.

Tbh I totally expected him to be upset the first few times as he’s an only child and it’s mostly me and him all week. He does spend time apart from me but again with people he is familiar with.

Today he attended for 1 hour and I had to go get him early as he was in such a state.

I’m looking for advise on how to make this easier and better for him, it’s soul destroying seeing him so upset and mum guilt is huge right now😢😢

I’m really struggling with my skin at the moment and would love some recommendations. I have lots of small, under-the-skin bumps/closed comedones, particularly across my forehead, as well as some breakouts. I’ve previously had a course of Roaccutane, so I’m surprised to be struggling with this again. My skin is also quite sensitive and can get tight/irritated easily.

At the moment I’ve been using the CeraVe Blemish Control Cleanser and Boots Vitamin E cream, but I feel like my skin has actually been getting worse. I’ve also used La Roche-Posay products in the past and found them irritating & niacinamide practically destroyed my skin texture!

I’m looking for recommendations for the following:

• A gentle cleanser
• A makeup/SPF remover
• A moisturiser (day&nigh)
• A treatment specifically for closed comedones / under-the-skin bumps (that won’t irritate sensitive skin)

looking for something relatively budget friendly but I’m happy to spend if the products are genuinely worth it!

Any help would be much appreciated❤️
