I have a 13 months old who has always been a terrible sleeper. I am chronically sleep deprived. I really really want to have two kids but I cannot go through this not sleeping again.

If you had a bad sleeper did you get a second bad sleeper or was the next one easier or visa versa.

I highly highly recommend checking out her videos! I’ve seen soooo many videos and nothing really clocks Olive skin like she does. It’s helped me understand so much about colours and which make up to go for. Definitely check it out and give her a scroll. There are so many videos on Olive skin she touches on

I found this woman on tik tok and out of alllll the videos I’ve seen on Olive, she makes the most sense to me. Highly recommended giving her a scroll through and watch the videos on Olive. Ive finally start to pick correct colours for me in make up and clothes!! 10/10

This is not me but I think it would help so many olives out there!

My baby is just about a year old. I’m feeling like I can’t relate to any other mums and I am hitting a point where I’m struggling a bit and need to know if anyone else has a baby like mine.

He is and has always been very alert since birth and has met all milestones early. His temperament is super active and very curious, loud, rambunctious. He is almost hyper I would say especially compared to other babies. He wants to be close to me at all times. Needs to be held a lot a lot. He is very sensitive to teething and got his first 6 teeth all at once when he was younger.

He wakes multi times a night. Three wakes is a good night. Sleep was extremely bad for about 3-4 months untill it finally improved at 9months. Now as we approach a year he is starting to teeth again and fighting naps.

He co sleeps with me and is ebf. I’ve wanted to nurse for longer but the past three weeks he’s started to latch with his teeth and chomp down hard. I have multiple cuts from his teeth and I can no longer nurse because I just can’t push through the pain anymore. When he wakes at night I normally nurse for a bit and he will fall back asleep but since I can’t anymore sleep has gone to hell. He topically can be rocked to sleep but now he fights it. He will not fall asleep on his own. I’ve tired. He won’t l don’t believe in sleep training and tired and failed at the gentle training. It always ends in screaming.

I’ve cut back on nursing for a couple of days and I’m feeling so defeated. Though the days are fun with him.

I don’t know what I’m asking really. I just feel like I got a baby on level hard. I love him so much but yeah just having a hard week and I feel like every other mother has a baby that sleeps well and is super chilled out. I shouldn’t compare but it’s hard to hear how well they are doing and I’m out here struggling.
