Sweet dreams

My 8 month old is FINALLY sleeping through the night. No more waking up for a bottle and this mama is HAPPY. Idk why I thought this wouldnt be my luck the second time around. 8 months with no solid sleep is pure insanity. My first daughter slept through the night at 7 weeks 5 days. (I know that’s early, but I trusted her to wake when she was hungry.)

Welcome to the club 🥳 enjoy your sleep!!

Can't wait to get there too!!

it’ll happen before you know it. She just started this past weekend and I panicked when i got up to use the restroom and realized she hadn’t woken up yet. It only took me a day to adjust and now I sleep like a baby lol

I need some of that lol 😂 some nights she does sleep wakes minimum of 2. Other nights she wakes more and I end up cosleeping w her

What did you do to get your baby to sleep through the night? I need tips 😭

So happy for you momma!! My baby used to sleep thru the night up until 6 months. She’s 8 months now and it’s been brutal these past 2 months. I look forward to those days again 🥲

I wish I could tell you some magic tips, but honestly she did it on her own when she was ready.

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?
