Please help - babies sleeping through

Please could you provide advice ? My baby used to sleep through without the need for any feed from 8-8 but now wants feeding through the night. I think it’s more comfort and started about two months ago.

Any advice from you mums that are getting a full stretch would be amazing please

Going through exactly the same. Lg didn’t sleep the whole night but used to do up to 7 hour stretches. Up until 2 months ago and wakes up a lot more now some nights every hour. I definitely think she comfort feeds too

We’re the same. The best we used to get was 5-6 hour stretches at the start of the night. Now I’m lucky if she sleeps for two hours! She’ll only settle if I give her the boob, no amount of rocking or cuddling works. I’m completely exhausted cos every wake up is down to me to settle her. This has been going on for about 6 weeks now 😢

have you tried own room?? I was completely the same this had been going on for 2 months and last night I thought f it let’s try her cot in her room as it can’t get any worse and she literally slept from 7-7.30 just waking once for a feed and no tears. I couldn’t believe it

Unfortunately she doesn’t really have her own room. We live in a flat and the room that would be hers is currently my partner’s office and will take a fair amount of work to make suitable. I had planned on keeping her in our room as long as I was breastfeeding thru the night, but maybe might need to rethink that plan!

When did you circumcise your baby?
If you DID NOT or DO NOT have a circumcised son DO NOT comment this post is not for you!

Did you wait a certain amount of time or have it done immediately?
Again respectfully, this is only for the parents who choose to do so.
opinions about how not necessary it is will not be appropriate for this post. Thank you in advance. 🩵

Vanilla extract

Has anyone used alcohol free vanilla in their babies formal to help them drink?
I’m 100% sure my baby refuses her bottles as she doesn’t like the taste of it!

Just anxious to try it, don’t want her to get used to it and then refuse bottles again after two weeks of using (correct me if I’m wrong but I’ve read you use it for 2 weeks max)

TIA 🙂

Can someone pls help i keep making this post and nobody is responding

My boyfriend booked a trip for us to go to mexico for a week as my push present. I have severe anxiety leaving my 7 month old with my mom. I know she will be in good hands but she’s exclusively breast fed for the most part but accepts bottles just fine. i have all my pumping parts packed and will pump when baby normally eats but i don’t want baby to forget me or have latch issues when i return!! any mommas ever experience this?

Car seat crying

My 6 month old PANICS the second I put him in a car seat and screams, cries, chokes and recently even projectile vomited on a 14 minute drive. It’s gotten to the point I don’t even bring him out unless it’s to a doctors appointment. I’m a stay at home mom with no family in my state and it has been very isolating. We’ve tried 3 different car seats with no improvement. Has anyone had a baby who hated the car seat? Any advice? This started at 3 months. I will add it does seem worse when he’s tired. He does cry on every trip though. He only contact naps and co sleeps so he reaches for me and will not sleep in the car seat.

Sex post C section

Hi ladies I’m 4 weeks 5 days postpartum and I had a C section. I’m not bleeding properly anymore just some brownish discharge stuff that starts on and off. I’d like to do the deed with my partner; is it okay to do so or shall I wait the full 6 weeks. I feel up for it but also worried because the advice is 6-8 weeks.

Postpartum

I’m only 3 days postpartum (FTM) and already have extremely bad anxiety. I’m crying every night, as I think of another night of no sleep. My baby will not settle in his cot, he cries every moment we put him down unless in his chair rocker. So me and my partner are having to alternate after 3/4 hours of being awake with him downstairs. I’m trying everything to get him to settle. It’s a load of overwhelming stress. I’m 23, I was desperate for a baby and now I have one and feel completely useless. I miss it just being me and my partner.
