Sleep Question!

My LO (nearly 3 months old) sleeps amazing 9pm until about 2.30am, I then feed, change his bum and rock him back to sleep. He’ll sleep for another 2 hours and then he starts to whinge, groan, grunt and I start thinking he’s awake but when I look his eyes are still closer..what is this?! How do I get him to stop? Cos he’s still asleep!

Active sleep? My LO does this a lot but eventually falls back to sleep. Sometimes if she’s flailing her arms a bit I hold them together on her chest until she relaxes and sleeps, put dummie back in or just rest my hand on her chest and gently tap. These things tend to help her stop making all those noises!

this is what I initially thought but Google said active sleep should stop around this age.
But I’ll give them tips a go tonight and see how he goes on! X

My little boy is almost 3 months old and he has also just started doing this the last couple of nights. I’m going to try some of these tips too!! 😊

Yeahhh it could potentially be some sort of sleep regression as there’s normally one around this time. Not sure what it actually entails but might be!!
Give those a try and see if any helps! The amount of times I’ve fallen asleep with my hand on her chest 😂

My 11wo has started doing this the past 3-4 nights, I’m pretty sure it’s coincided with when the room has cooled down and I’m suspicious feeling cold is pushing until a really active sleep. She settled and immediately went quiet this morning when I put a blanket over her, maybe worth having a cellular blanket ready you could try?

Body temp drops around 4am, in the winter with my first I set the thermostat to come on at 3am, and it definitely helped. Could be gas from the 2am feed- I find mine is harder to wind in the night (probably because I cba!). If my LB fidgets I crank up the white noise briefly sometimes that helps settle him

Hour night wakes and 5am get up

Can anyone shed some light as to why on earth my child doesn’t want to sleep??? My eyeballs are bleeding!!

Never been a good sleeper, but the problems always changing. He’s nearly 9 months old.

Beginning of the month he dropped to 2 naps. We could put him to bed at 7pm and he’d get up for the day at 6am, with multiple wake ups every 2/3 hours.

Now we put him down at 7pm, he can do a good 4/5 hour stretch, but come 1/2am he’s up every hour then getting up for the day at 5am. This then completely messes up the day because I can’t keep him awake long enough to even get to 7pm, let alone later.

He has 2 naps, roughly about 1hr10 each but it changed based on when he wakes and trying to get him to a reasonable bed time.

What could be the reason for this? 6am is fine, but 5am is not 😩😩

I think its fair

Me and my partner agreed to sleep in 1 day of the weekend.
He doesn't find it fair to look after both kids (my 4 year old isnt his) while i sleep so he looks after the baby while i sleep and my toddlers at his dads and ill look after both the next day.
Straightaway it was pretty unfair as i let him sleep in until he wakes up 10-12
He wakes me up when baby starts fussing because he wants milk (doesnt need it)
I cant pump as i dont supply enough.
So i get woken at 9/9:30 to feed baby then i get him sleep then theres no point sleeping in as my toddlers being dropped off.
I also find it unfair that i get both kids to sleep most night, i get my toddler to sleep everyday hes home (4/5days) and i get my baby to sleep most nights with the exception of maybe twice a month as his dad struggless then about 95% of his thru the day naps.
I have also been unwell for a few months (tumor scare) and am waiting 18 weeks to see a specialist so im obviously petrified for that, so unbelievably tired and alot of aches and pains, specifically these pounding headaches ive been having.
After i had been up til 11:30 getting both kids to sleep lastnight and my partner falling asleep at 10 then him ignoring the baby cries all morning until my toddler woke up im fed up slammed to door and rold him not to expect to sleep in unless he gets the baby to sleep the night b4.
I keep having issues with him not feeling the wet from baby being sick or weeing himself or being able to smell it do about 98% of the time hes given to me i have to clean him up n change him.
Including at night, we agreed my partner would change nappies (1 a night at 5am) while i feed (2,4,5,6:30) but every night when i get him hes pissed through and my partner gets annoyed when i wake him up n moan about it.
Then the morning after hes annoyed at how much washing there is (thats his job) and moans about how often i change myself (baby constantly shits thru and sicks on me) and baby
Honestly im just so tired all the time

AITA

In the uk there is an outbreak of meningitis, in a specific area mainly. My BD has family from that area and decided to go and meet up with them, I said if he does then he cannot have contact with the kids for 7-10 days after incase he picks anything up. Am I being over dramatic? I reallyyy don’t want my young kids getting anything serious

Over supply of milk

I am nearly 5weeks postpartum and I have such a big over supply of BM.
Has anyone donated / sold their supply, if so where do you recommend for this?

Crawling and walking

So my girl is 9 months now and shes great at sitting up and stays on her tummy for awhile but she seems to have no interest in trying to move or crawl or bum shuffle. Shes a big baby always has been but I'm disabled and I feel like it's my fault she's not hitting milestones I feel like there's something I'm not doing and it's making me a bad mum

Baby constipation

I’ve got a one and a half month old. He is my first breastfed baby and has been dealing with some serious constipation. He has only gone about once every three days. The doctor said it is normal around this age but I was wondering if anyone had any tips on how to relieve his discomfort. I’ve done the gas drops,exercises, belly rubs, and haven’t found anything that seems to help him. The dr. also said he may not go for up to a week and that is just crazy to me.
