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!

Sleeping bag

8 week old in sleeping bag for first time as big enough! Do you feed your child in the night whilst in the sleeping bag or taken them out, feed then transfer back to sleeping bag before putting down?

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.

New born

Finally had my baby girl via C-section on the 18th, everything has been so far. But I’ve noticed she’s very fussy and cries a lot. I’ve been trying to exclusively breastfeed. The lactation consultant at the hospital said I did look like I’m making enough milk for her. She was latching on good at the hospital and now here at home, she doesn’t seem to want to latch at all. She’s been crying a lot and very fussy. I’m just wondering is she’s colic or like maybe she just doesn’t want the breast anymore?

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
