Goodbye sleep 😭🙃

Anyone elses baby gone from sleeping through the night to waking at 2am , wanting a feed and staying awake for over an hour? Shes driving me insane, she falls asleep in my arms but soon as i place her in the cot she wakes up so i have to go back to rocking etc for her to fall back asleep in my arms only to be wide awake when i put her back in the cot.

The lack of sleep is starting to get to me. Tonight for instance she went to bed at 6:30 pm and instead of the usual 2am wake up she woke at 11 and is still awake now at almost 1am, again falling asleep in my arms and waking up when transfer her. Praying when she eventually falls asleep she stays asleep tonight.

What could be causing this??

Been having this for weeks now. LO woke at 11 and has been waking every hour since. Fed her at 12 and every time I put her in cot, she wakes. So currently still in my arms. It’s exhausting

I had this a couple of weeks ago, there is a sleep regression between 7-9 months, so it's probably that. Ours only lasted a few nights. Fingers crossed it ends for you soon, lack of sleep is the worst thing!! X

Oh god! I could have wrote this post myself. I’m absolutely exhausted this morning. It started to ease after about five days of it and then bam back again! 😫😭

I got to bed at 0430! And hubby just woke me now so I can look after our toddler so he can leave for work. Another lazy day for us!

We are exactly the same, as soon as I let her come into bed with me she sleeps! We end up Co-sleeping for much of the night just to make sure we get some sleep!
It must be the sleep regression linked to separation anxiety! Keep trying to remind myself that it will pass and she will go back to sleeping through again!
It’s helpful to know many of us are going through the same thing!! :)

Its been going on for about 3 weeks now. Im exhausted😭😴

Mines like this ATM but it's because she's full of cold. Her sleep always goes to pot when she's poorly. Then when she's better it goes back to normal. Exhaustedddd

I think it must be worse when you’ve been used to a good sleeper! 😞

My LO as been the exact same the last 3 nights, after a week of the best sleeping we've had so far. Presume he's going through a sleep regression, just ousting it doesn't last too long as he's refusing all day time naps too

My bub just started this issue a couple nights ago. I just started gently sleep training him and he was getting really good at staying for a long stretch and then he became super clingy and would wake the second I tried to put him in his cot. He got constipated out of nowhere (so it seemed) and then went from waking once a night while co-sleeping to now waking 2-4 times a night for a feed. This morning he decided to wake for the final time at 4:30a and refused to go back to sleep until 4 hours later 🙃🫠 He’s been teething since he was 1 month old, but with no teeth showing yet.

Wdy think of this for a toddler to learn word construction?

I'm open to anything else to start teaching him to read and write. He's 3!

Do men really enjoy fellatio?

Been together more than 10 years, but it's been a while since he even seemed remotely interested in me getting on my knees, or vice versa so to speak. I think it was once last year. Must be something I am doing wrong 🤔. Generally everything else in that department is great and we have two young kids with no extra support, so it's quite surprising we can't keep our hands off each other but may need to try new things. It's basically 2 positions each time with some foreplay.

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 🙂

Naps

How is everyone doing for naps?

Little one is 9 months old and will have 2 half hour naps and one solid 1 hour - 2 hour nap a day

Then settles for night around 9pm. Wakes for a feed around 3:30 then sleeps until 6-7

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.

Pumping advise

FTM to a 2 week old! I’m breastfeeding and then giving one formula bottle last in the evening before bed. I want to start expressing milk to give me some breathing room and also allow my partner to be more involved in feeding. I’m finding the idea of introducing pumping into my day quite overwhelming though. I don’t want to take milk away from my baby by pumping if he needs it during the day when being breastfeed.

Can anyone advise how I start pumping and when to do it? Thank you!
