My little boy is 11 weeks and this last week has on average done 7/8 hours overnight. He feeds non stop before bed (ebf) and wakes up hangry. Midwife always said if he wakes up hangry it’s fine!

My wee one is 11 weeks and sleeps through 6-7 hours and has plenty of wet nappies . She has 4oz before bed and 4-5oz when she wakes. I'm combi feeding, so sometimes she just nurses back to sleep on the boob after 7 hrs of sleep, and she's okay. Not to worry mama x

silly question, but when they start sleeping for those long stretches do you wake them up to change them still or leave them to sleep if they’re not waking up for a feed?

@Beth not silly at all. I don't wake her, I make sure she goes to bed with a clean nappy and change her immediately when she wakes. There's been a couple mornings her nappies were soaked through onto her sleepsuit but not her sleeping bag. Assumed she'd weed alot those nights. I also make sure to put vaseline on her bum when I change her for bed to avoid her getting nappy rash overnight . Seems to be okay so far.

Thank you! That’s really helpful x

My boy is 11 weeks and sleeps from between 9pm - 10pm until 6.30am - 7.30am and I give him an extra 1oz of milk when he wakens in the morning! As long as he is putting on the weight and plenty wet nappies, he will be fine!

Did you know this was a thing?

Didn’t know this existed! I’m actually not breastfeeding 2nd time round (though wish I did) after a bad experience with my 1st baby. But this is something I 100% needed 1st time round.

Circumcision, please help

I know it can be a really sensitive topic, but I feel really underinformed about whether I should choose to circumcise or not if we end up having a boy.
For context: we are very non-religious, but I worry about the stigma of being non-circumcised when he would start to get interested in dating, navigating cleaning it and the risk of infection especially as he gets older and navigating potty training at daycare and stuff. I also worry about the increased risk of penile cancer. But then I also hate the thought of making my baby go through a major surgery unnecessarily and would prefer for them to make the choice when they are older if they choose to get circumcised.

How did you make your choice? Does anyone regret their choice?

How do I end this friendship

My best friend of 15 years and I are in similar stages of life and her behaviour has gotten increasingly erratic and triggering. I am about to have my first baby and she is struggling with postpartum from her second who was born last August. All the “normal” post partum depression symptoms I totally understand but she has also in my opinion made a lot of selfish choices recently.

She is constantly yelling and berating her husband and kids as well as flying off the handle at the tiniest things and it’s super triggering for me coming from a previous abusive relationship. She’s honestly being abusive to her family.

I feel like she always makes everything about herself and her reasoning has gotten soooo misconstrued. She acts only on her emotions and doesn’t care about anyone else’s. She never accepts any constructive criticism or advice even though she complains 24/7 about everything.

She says she hates being a mom and doesn’t want to be around her kids , hates her marriage, hates her job, and complains 24\7 and refuses to do anything to change. She also makes everything about herself including my baby shower we just had. She’s made rude comments to my spouse as well.

I don’t have many mom friends but at this point she is just not the type of person I want to be around because she is being so mean and wanting to bring everyone down with her. Also I am about to have my first baby and just want to focus on me.
