Do I wake in the morning?

So my baby has done a 360 turn with his sleeping
He's going to be one next week has never been a good sleeper but past two weeks he's been amazing
I've always woken him up at 7am regardless of the night trying to get him into routine
He goes to bed at 730 n is sleeping straight through my issue now is it's hard to wake him up at 7am it's crazy like he's a different baby
I almost feel now I should try to let him sleep till he wants or do I keep waking him at 7am ?

Is he napping the same during the day? He might just need the extra sleep atm 🤩 I would let them sleep if you feel comfortable doing that x

yeah he naps great we have a lovely routine now it's unbelievable to be honest so nice 😂
I am comfortable but overthinking if it messes the whole routine up but I'll try it tomorrow n see 🤞😊

My daughter always wakes up at different times in the morning. I just adjust her naps and bedtimes the next day. Extra sleep is extra sleep, enjoy it (: x

Definitely let him sleep. Means you can enjoy a wee quiet morning, have a hot cuppa and chill until wee one gets up. Unless you have plans or something then there is nothing wrong with him getting sleep. Could be catching up on sleep, maybe there is a growth spurt or he is learning something new and needs extra sleep

yeah exactly that we are in a nice routine but I was enjoying the morning peace 😂 X

ah okay he's sleeping was terrible so I had to be strict but now he's a darling I think I will try loosen up ahaa x

that's exactly what I was thinking I was enjoying my coffee thinking do I really need to wake him .. will definitely let him be tomorrow happy baby happy mommy ,😅 x

@Karley absolutely haha enjoy that hot cuppa 😂 xx

well done for getting his sleep on track. I find half an hour adjustments dont affect too much. My daughter goes to bed between 7-8 depending on wakes and naps x

I would wake him up at 7:30 since he is going to bed at 7:30 so he is getting 12 hours of night and 12 hours of day

When do things get easier?

As we entered the 9-12 month stage, my son started crawling and pulling himself up. He also became more clingy and does not play alone, still doesnt sleep through the night, and this week has been sick (so EVERYTHING amplified). I am tired and overwhelmed. Please lie and tell me things get better. 🥺

4 month bed time

What time do you put your babies to bed?
What time do you start your 'routine?'
My LO currently goes to bed around 10.30pm, and I know i need to start bringing it forward. Everytime ive tried, it takes longer for my LO to settle.
We are exclusively breastfeeding. Any advice Mamas?

Colostrum storing?

Has anyone successfully extracted colostrum before the baby’s born? Apparently it gets produced from 16w pregnant and you can start storing it in the freezer but I’m 34w looking at my nipples and the syringes on amazon wondering how it works?? Like what did you use and did it hurt? 🥲

6 month old autistism

My 6 month old makes no eye contact with me and doesn’t respond when I call him. Can this just be a phase or personality trait as apposed to autism

Baby with chronic congestion

Hi everyone! My 1 year has been a congested baby since birth almost. She breathes through her mouth so often that it wakes her up multiple times at night and she cries and screams and then struggles to go back to sleep. She wakes up every 1-3 hours and sometimes can’t go back to sleep for 2-3 hours!!! Piriton is the only thing that seems to help her sleep mostly through the night but I can’t keep giving her that!!
Does anyone have tips as to have I can do or give her? Has anyone experienced? I have no idea when I’ll get an ENT appointment and I have no idea what he can give a 13 mo :( we are desperate for sleep so any tips are welcome!! We have tried steam inhalation, saline drops, vapour rubs and everything off the counter basically!

Combi feeding advice

Has anyone gone from EBF to combi feeding? Currently do one bottle of EBM per night and they one half formula half breast milk mixed in the day. The other times she still feeds on me. Ideally I want to feed all day via bottle and all night with breast. She’s 7 weeks and takes a bottle well, how long should I leave it before adding another bottle to her daily routine?
