Hi 5am wake up club

So she was awake at 5 and still just sat in her cot but not crying and not making a noise 🥹🥹 I’m checking her on the camera… bless her. Feel bad bad but does this happen to u? And do u just leave them to it?

4am Club member today 🫠 dad won't listen to mum about day naps ever, so here we are. I used to leave little man to it until he got restless, but since he currently believes he's Spider Man and can climb anything, I have to get him out of the cot now 🤣

My little girl does this, she loves just chilling in her cot she has a cuddly toy and I put a soft book in there for her and she sits there sometimes for an hour and just chats to herself too. If I come in before she’s ready to come out when I put my hands out to her she just says no and sits back on her cot 😂 I think it’s good for them to have a little bit of chill out time alone too as long as she is safe and isn’t crying xx

I wish mine just sat there!! Second he wakes up (5:25 today) he just screams so I have no choice but to get up 🤣

oh believe me this is rare. She usually screams the house down when she’s awake so this is something I’m not used to.

lol made me giggle with dad not listening about naps… sounds about right! Have u managed to keep him up til normal nap time?

When do things get easier?

As we entered the 9-12 month stage, my son started crawling and pulling himself up. He also became more clingy and does not play alone, still doesnt sleep through the night, and this week has been sick (so EVERYTHING amplified). I am tired and overwhelmed. Please lie and tell me things get better. 🥺

4 month bed time

What time do you put your babies to bed?
What time do you start your 'routine?'
My LO currently goes to bed around 10.30pm, and I know i need to start bringing it forward. Everytime ive tried, it takes longer for my LO to settle.
We are exclusively breastfeeding. Any advice Mamas?

Colostrum storing?

Has anyone successfully extracted colostrum before the baby’s born? Apparently it gets produced from 16w pregnant and you can start storing it in the freezer but I’m 34w looking at my nipples and the syringes on amazon wondering how it works?? Like what did you use and did it hurt? 🥲

Baby with chronic congestion

Hi everyone! My 1 year has been a congested baby since birth almost. She breathes through her mouth so often that it wakes her up multiple times at night and she cries and screams and then struggles to go back to sleep. She wakes up every 1-3 hours and sometimes can’t go back to sleep for 2-3 hours!!! Piriton is the only thing that seems to help her sleep mostly through the night but I can’t keep giving her that!!
Does anyone have tips as to have I can do or give her? Has anyone experienced? I have no idea when I’ll get an ENT appointment and I have no idea what he can give a 13 mo :( we are desperate for sleep so any tips are welcome!! We have tried steam inhalation, saline drops, vapour rubs and everything off the counter basically!

Combi feeding advice

Has anyone gone from EBF to combi feeding? Currently do one bottle of EBM per night and they one half formula half breast milk mixed in the day. The other times she still feeds on me. Ideally I want to feed all day via bottle and all night with breast. She’s 7 weeks and takes a bottle well, how long should I leave it before adding another bottle to her daily routine?

Showering

What’s everyone putting there wee ones in whilst jumping in the shower? Awake or sleeping.
