Sleep help 😥

My bubba used to sleep for 4-6 hour stretches throughout the night when he was 4-5 months, however, since his last sleep regression, we've never gotten him back there. He's now waking frequently throughout the night and is very fussy and hard to put back to sleep.

He's a healthy weight and is progressing well, so no health concerns.

My bubba is formula fed and usually has 220 ml overnight with all the wake ups. I've read online about weening the night feeds. Has anyone had success doing this?

My bubbas on solids too, and I've read that certain foods might help (might just be crazy internet info, but I'm desperate lol) has anyone found certain foods help their sleep?

Haha I'm not expecting a miracle 12 hour sleep here but I'm definetly after any tips to improve his sleep (and mine 🤣)

I had the same issue she would go 5 hour stretches early on but then started not even going 3 hours. One weaning trick I tried was timing out how long she would sleep on average and waking her to feed about 15 minutes before she would wake up. Then slowly stretching out the time before I would wake her up. It's supposed to get them used to you waking them up versus them waking up to feed and helps strech out the time between feedings? I think it helped though I wasn't super consistant with it, however she is now sleeping 8 or so hours (most nights) hopefully this helps!

@Baylee thank you I'm going to try that

Isn't it funny how our whole day revolves around if our bubbas slept well the night before 🤣

Leaky nappy help

What nappies are you using to stop leaks?? We use pampers ultra dry size 5, and for the past few nights he has lashed through and we’ve had to completely change him during the night. Last night he leashed through twice!! He sleeps on his front and stays leaks through at the top of his leg where the tabs connect. Didn’t know whether to size up, he has a bit of a belly on him but he’s smack in middle of weight guidance so shouldn’t need too

Am I wrong?

I’ve been wanting to add more garden beds to my garden. Husband says “hey do you want to go to Home Depot to get that wood for the garden beds.” Cool I’m excited I’ve been wanting to get this done for awhile.

We get there and we’re picking out wood and I make 2 comments about how I don’t like how 2 pieces of wood look that he picked out. And he says if you’re going to be this picky then u can do this yourself.

I literally made 2 comments and mind you I’m the one paying for the wood.

I felt dismissed and like my opinion didn’t matter and if I wanted to have an opinion then I need to do it myself. Like what?

It was rude and not okay. Am I wrong? Am I overreacting?

He thinks it was fine that he said that.

5.30am wakeups 😫😴

My 15 week old has started waking up about 5.30am and is really hard to settle back down - it’s like he thinks it’s time to wake up for the day. He used to go to bed at 9pm and was up at 8am but now he goes to bed between 7.30-8pm as he’s knackered by then but waking up at 5.30am😴. Any advice to get him to sleep a little longer in the morning?! Even an extra hour would be lovely 🤣
