Our child has decided to stop napping and is now up 4-5 times at night (for a long time it was 2-3). He’ll be 4 months next week. He is still eating, but is just fussy and only wants to be held. Help!

That is totally normal. Sleep regression. It will take about a week or two but it will stop. You got this! 👊

The other thing you can do (that helped us) was to get a momma roo and let him sleep in that. It worked so well for us and our son slept in in for almost 6 months. https://www.amazon.com/4moms-mamaRoo-Bluetooth-Enabled-high-tech-Swing/dp/B073FS5FHM/ref=mp_s_a_1_1_sspa?adgrpid=54962987206&gclid=CjwKCAjwzJjrBRBvEiwA867byqtpfLygG42OkB8FWFz-4rt3khDKeDXxmU6rTDteiuzjpAVFhzEwgRoCa5MQAvD_BwE&hvadid=274803337679&hvdev=m&hvlocphy=1021047&hvnetw=g&hvpos=1t1&hvqmt=b&hvrand=4853077458499633027&hvtargid=aud-649564993678%3Akwd-296458002386&hydadcr=2420_9897918&keywords=mamaroo+swing&qid=1567029668&s=gateway&sr=8-1-spons&psc=1&spLa=ZW5jcnlwdGVkUXVhbGlmaWVyPUFVUEtZMVpNQ0xJUjcmZW5jcnlwdGVkSWQ9QTA2NzA4MjMzMDY5N01UQ1RCTjJSJmVuY3J5cHRlZEFkSWQ9QTA5NzMyNjcyT09FSFBMMzA3RzNVJndpZGdldE5hbWU9c3BfcGhvbmVfc2VhcmNoX2F0ZiZhY3Rpb249Y2xpY2tSZWRpcmVjdCZkb05vdExvZ0NsaWNrPXRydWU=

This is when I would get in the recliner, lay him on my chest, and fall asleep like that for the next 6 hours. Probably the best sleep I got when they were infants. Did that with all four kids and eventually they got back to their normal routine.

Then as they got older I just let them cry it out and they would fall back asleep on tier own.

Hang in there. It will get better.

If still breastfeeding, we found going to a bottle at night to make sure they were as full as possible helped. Also all above are accurate, likely a blip/leap and will pass.

Originally from Italy, I've been out to anyone at my former jobs in Europe without ever worrying about the reactions of my coworkers. Now I'm Asia and just started a new job, but one of my colleagues (also an expat) made a very weird statement about gay people having more chances of developing cancers (?!?!?), so I feel a bit skeptical about talking about my private life... The problem is that anybody else seems to be so welcoming and open-minded, except for this one guy. Any advices?
