sleep help - baby only sleeps on breast in am

I have established a bad habit! My son used to need to feed around 4 AM. He still wakes up around this time, and out of exhaustion, I bring him into bed with me and let him nurse/comfort suck, on and off until he fully wakes up around 7 am (but there are many mini wake ups in that period.) I’m so tired, and neither of us get quality sleep, but I’m not sure how to change this. Any recommendations? i can’t do cry it out.

I’m kind of in the same boat. Bad cycle and too damn tired to do sleep training. I hope and pray every night will be the night she starts sleeping through the night 😴😵‍💫 I’m delirious.

I am in the same boat 🚢
I pronounced myself the zombie 🧟‍♀️ mama or a Mombie
The only advise is I can give is to keep baby in your bed and get a big cup of coffee in da morning 🌄

My baby does similar! Wake at 3:30 to feed them up 6:30.

If baby has their own room, I’d go in to feed them on the ground side lying, then they’re tired enough to want to go back to sleep so I put back in crib. My baby doesn’t really cry til she wakes at 6:30, but I notice if I put her in my bed with me after that 3:30 feed she constantly wakes.
She might wake and whine for like 1-2 minutes but not hard cry.

Or I used to just leave her on the ground sleeping, on a soft rug or large quilt. If she was sensitive to being put back in crib.

I leave her if it’s just a whine not a cry

Same boat here! I’m bringing him to my bed. I know this is temporary and if he needs me to feel safe I will be there

Poop question

Hey mommas I’m a ftm and my babygirl hasn’t pooped in two days she’s formula feed and is 12 weeks old. I can tell she’s uncomfortable and I feel so bad. I’ve been doing belly rubs and bicycle kicks and all the things like that. Also gave her some gas drops and gripe water to relieve the gas but still no poop. Does anyone have any tips or tricks for me. Pic so we don’t get lost💕

Health Visitor Home Visit

Hii, could anyone explain what the health visitor does on their home visit?

Also if anyone had a home birth, what the midwife home risk assessment involves?

I’ve got 3 home visits coming up in the next two weeks (health visitor, midwives and doula) and it’s making me nervous for some reason. I think having 3 just feels like a lot and a bit invasive if that makes sense!

Who else is out there holding a baby thru the night so his noises dont wake up the house?!

I cant believe im still doing this at 15 months old!!!

My 2nd child is not just the noisiest sleeper but they have always been weird with breastfeeding

I think currently he is having some kinda developmental leap and growth spurt, eating and drinking like crazy and in the middle of the night if he wakes up , it takes ages to put back to sleep and he rolls around making sooooo much noise!!!

And i either have a low supply now OR he loves a fast flow and so he just jumps off the boob when it slows and complains loudly or just talks cutely but loudly! and i have to keep swapping boobs OR i have to get up and hold him and feed so gravity helps and the flow is faster and holding him means he eventually sleeps or at-least is feeding properly so is bloody quiet now! So at 1 am or 3am or often 5am onwards im holding n feeding until he wakes up 🥲🥲🥲

Any tips?

How’s everyone’s babies sleeping?

My little one is 19 weeks, she used to sleep through when we would put her to bed at around 10pm, she would sleep through until 6-7 am.
Now she gets so tired around 8 pm so we moved her bedtime here, but coming with this is 1-2 night feeds and she’ll be wide awake at 6 am, which I know is still amazing but I am currently as sick as a dog so hasn’t been the best for my flu 🤣.
I’m unsure whether this is the regression though as her naps are very scattered throughout the day with the max nap being 30 minutes through contact only.
Does this sound like the regression? When did your little one start sleeping through again if they ever did? Thanks in advance 🤗❤️

How are we entertaining our babies

What toys does everyone have for their 7 month old?
Nothing is satisfying my little girl she's got blocks, rattles, playmats loads more. She would much rather hold my hands and walk all day but I cant physically do that and whenever I put her down to play she just wont, is this just a faze?
