There is no solution, only patience....and coffee the next day. My fella used wake/feed every 1.5 - 2 hours! 😅 I dunno how I survived it. He's almost 10 weeks now and has improved. It's early days. When they get bigger so does their belly, so it'll stay fuller for longer soon. Hard isn't it? Did you try hungry baby formula?

How much is in the bottle. My little man is 9 weeks tomorrow. He’s been taking 6oz every3 hr during the day. I feed him at 8am, 11am,2pm, 5pm, 8pm and 11pm or 12pm. That’s my timetable feeds but I top that up if he needs a bottle.
So I now just change the nappy at 3/4am and he’s sleep until 7.30/8am. Sometime I don’t change the nappy only if he wakes.
I’m a first time mum so I’m just winging it here but that’s what I did.

Ohhh my little boy is 9 weeks tomorrow too 💙💙 oh I wish I could get him to do that lol I try giving him 6oz sometimes he will only take 4 or 5 but rarely the full 6 🙈 does he sleep the whole night? That’s the dream my little fella is so demanding I find like he fights his sleep cause he’s so nosey lol

Ya every baby is so different. My little man is 13.5lb now. He’s big. So I feed him every 3 hrs the 6oz. Ya he wakes a little at the 3/4am because he hates a wet nappy. So I change the nappy and back to sleep again. Oh and we also started swaddling him in the night. We found the hands flapping around would wake him.

Standing???

Anyone else’s 7 month old standing up and trying to take steps??? My son can fully stand without support and is now trying to take steps. I feel like it’s too early?…

Excuse the mess, I’m doing a late night deep clean and he’s doing the opposite of helping 😂

How much does your baby eat

Hello,

How much does your baby eat?

My boy is 4 months (17 + 5 weeks) and he weights 7kg (born 3.5kg)
Sometimes I have feeling he is eating too much…
From yesterday I had to start giving him more food as he started crying after food and asking for more. (100% formula)
He eats around 1.3L in 24 hours (6 feeds with 5 being during the day and 1 overnight) . On internet it says baby can eat 150-200ml per 1kg body weight so in theory my baby can eat max 1.4L so it would tell me he is not eating too much… just on higher end.
Then on internet it says baby shouldn’t eat more than 32oz (900ml) in 24 hours. So I’m a bit confused…

Cheap Car Seat

Hi all,

I need a cheap car seat for my mums car just for when she looks after my daughter incase she needs to pop out.

I ain’t particularly concerned over safety because it’s literally for emergencies only, as she plans everything around childcare - but I need something just incase she needs to go out.

Ideally looking for something under £80 - my daughters nearly 2 x

TMI

I’m nearly 5 weeks postpartum I had 2nd degree stitches not breastfeeding does anyone have an idea of what this could be I know to much information but it’s like a jelly formation and seems like it would stretch not attempted but with how it looks definitely looks like it. Just wondering if it’s something I should be concerned of or not.
Thanks in advance

Sleep struggle 5 month old

Hi, my baby is 5 months old and I’m really struggling with his sleep.
I understand that waking for feeds is normal, but he wakes up almost every hour. He usually goes to sleep around 8:00–9:00 pm and gives one longer stretch of about 2 hours. After that, the wake-ups become very frequent. For example, if he wakes around 1:00 am, he then starts waking every 1 to 1.5 hours.
Most of the time, he doesn’t even feed properly he just keeps the nipple in his mouth for comfort and falls back asleep.
I’m feeling extremely exhausted and sleep deprived. He is exclusively breastfed and does not accept a bottle at all.
I’m not sure how to manage this situation or how to break this pattern. Any advice would really help.
