Feeding to sleep

My son is 9 1/2 months old and has been fed to sleep at bedtime since birth. But recently when I’ve been feeding him at bedtime he doesn’t fall asleep. I try rocking him and patting him but he just cries. After a while of this I’ll offer him a feed again and that’s when he’ll end up falling asleep. Any advice or tips?

Baby sleep

Nighttime feeds

Hi, my little girl is just over four weeks old. She's doing well with her feeds and is now over her birth weight. We're feeding on demand which is around every 3 hours and sometimes extra. At night she seems to want to go longer. Wondering what others do and if it's healthy and ok to let her sleep a longer stretch.

EBF Night wakings

My son is 9 months old and EBF.

He wakes about 8-12 times during the night and will only go back to sleep if i let him latch. Sometimes he won’t even eat he will just suck for comfort and go straight back to sleep.

My partner tries to settle him but he just screams until i feed him.

We also co sleep but I’m going to attempt to put him into his own room over the next few weeks.

Any advice on how to lower the amount of night wakings and to get him to settle without the boob and also for my partner?

Baby sleep

Nighttime wakes

My son is 13 months he is ebf and he wakes a lot at night to latch now we do cosleep as well. I’m seeing posts of moms who say their babies sleep through the night and don’t wake for feeds. Am i doing something wrong? Does he wake because of me?

Pumping

EBF to pumping

So I’m 10.5 months postpartum, my baby has been EBF only. He’s never had a bottle just his water in a water cup and he does eat foods. I’m having to go back to work soon cause we have to move and I will have to help with bills. I’ve only ever pumped when needed like if I’m super engorged. If I can, I’d like to start pumping so we don’t have to buy formula. Is there anything specific I should do for pumping? Like so many times a day starting out? When? How long?

And if all else fails are there any good formulas to switch little man to that would be sensitive for him being EBF to formula fed?

Am I just overthinking all of this?😂 I’ve never really pumped cause I didn’t want to lose my supply( I’ve heard of moms losing it after they start pumping) so it’s just scared me
