Baby girl is almost 5 months. She’s EBF and we’ve co slept since birth

We usually put her in between us but it’s sooooo hard . 9/10 she wakes up when I transfer her and she wants to be nursed again which results in me nursing her while she lays there and turning her towards me .

I think because of this too she’s waking up 6-7 times a night (yeah I’m exhausted)

Any tips for transferring?
I wait until she’s pretty passed out but it doesn’t seem to help.

My cute baby girl is four months and regressing … BADLY. I’m up every 45 minutes with her and just struggling altogether.

My 11 year old son is a god send. He brings me cold water all the time (even checks the water bottle to see if it needs to be filled) , vacuums , grabs me snacks, CHECKS on me (how are you doing? Did you sleep?)

Yesterday he said he would hold her so I could go out to the garden by myself 😂😂😂. I did only for a few minutes but when I came back he was singing to her and kissing her cheekies . He reads to her, he tells me to go lay down and he will stay with her while she’s on her mat . I’m so lucky!!

I feel bad that he’s felt like he needs to step up like this but I’m so grateful??? Even just the doing the dishes is so helpful . I’m dreading him and his brother going back to school 😂.

Deff planning on something special for him and his brother (14 year old helps a lot but typical teen in a good way- he’s got his own thing going on)

I just give up on leaving the house lmao.

She’s so cute but for a thirty minute trip I’m stopping like four times because she screams bloody murder. We do all the things, feed; burp, gas and change and she still will scream .

Is the only way to leave to stop constantly? How long do you let them cry in between each stop?

It’s so stressful!!! For a thirty minute car ride it takes an hour or hour and a half. She gets so damn hot screaming I can not take her out I feel like .

For those cranky in the car how long was it before this changed ? The weather is so damn nice it’s such a shame to not go out with her

Editing to add she is covered in sweat , we just pulled over after 15 minutes . I’m going to just start doing 15 to 20 minute trips. This poor girl

Our little girl is four weeks now . She screams a LOT. We are pretty sure she’s extremely gassy and I’ve started to adjust my diet for breast feeding her but I’m so tired .

I don’t have any dairy so that’s out. Could the fact that I eat a crap load of nuts everyday be an issue? That’s the unfortunate next thing to go.

Anyone have any tricks that help with the gas and making them feel better ?

Tubers are all woken with some good growth in ziplock baggies of potting soil. Some have about three inches of sprouts which I’m concerned about lol

We have a couple weeks till planting, should I just leave them in there and keep covering the new growth ? I have about 60 so I’m not keen on potting them up but will do what I have to

Hi all!

Every year I’ve been doing a wildflower bed in front for cut flowers and with a new baby it just feels like a lot.

I’m hoping to just put out perennials(plan on buying actual plants not seeds) that will continue to come back so besides weeding and some filling in here and there I don’t have to maintain it year after year.

Anyone have any advice on must haves ? I’m having trouble choosing so I’d like to hear from those who have one!

Ideally I’d like long lasting summer - fall blooms. I have a huge dahlia garden behind it so it would be nice to have it all bloomed together
