Fussy on the boob

I’m ebf and my lo had been so fussy today- she’s going for the nipple but then pulling away and not taking a deep latch. At the same time she’s kicking her legs, raising her arm and being vocal - has anyone else had this? I’m not sure what she’s trying to tell me! She’s 4 weeks old.

My baby is 3 months old. No matter how hard we try, she never sleeps between 8 pm to 1 am and wants to be constantly entertained. Sometimes she cries until I feed her again within an hour of feeding her which in turn makes her spit up and takes even longer for her to settle down. Any suggestions as to how I can get ...

Still no period

I gave birth in June 2023 and I still haven’t had a period? I’m still breastfeeding (quite a lot sometimes every 2 hours at night) should I be concerned? I’m not sure if it’s stress related also as I’ve been having a stressful time with my child’s father since the moment I gave birth

Screaming

Our 13 week old has suddenly started screaming when she is put down at bedtime, no matter how deep a sleep she appears to be in. She will not sleep in her crib. Please tell me we are not alone. We are so sleep deprived.

Speech

Just curious if anyone was able to get a referral to see a speech specialist even though your child does know a few words? My son knows a handful of words but we still sometimes struggle with communication which leads to tantrums. I’m wondering if we should see a speech specialist to see if there will be improvemen...
