Regression or just a rough patch?

Hey loves, so my little boy (16 weeks) for the past 6 weeks has been sleeping really well. Going down at 9pm and waking once at 4 for a feed. Between these times he wouldn’t get up or fuss. However for the past 3-4 nights he has been up every hour - not wanting a feed just wanting comfort. His feed time has dropped forward to about 3am and even after that he’s up every hour after.

It’s obviously come to a shock to our system because he had gotten into such a good routine and we were finally getting some sleep.

Would you say this is a regression starting?

I think it could be. I'm going through something similar and hoping it will pass soon.

My LO is 17 weeks and sleeps from 9pm to 5/6am wakes for feed then will go back to sleep for an extra hour or 2.

Well now it's every couple of hours waking. Same as you he just wants comfort but did want food at 3am.

It's exhausting when you get used to more sleep. Hopefully it wont last too long.

You got this!

I’m glad that someone else is also feeling exactly what I’m feeling! I hope it passes soon too for the both of us!
You’re so right it is exhausting. I think it’s exhausting for our babies too 😫

Thank you, so do you!!

same issue here at 16 weeks. I think we just need to survive a bit longer while they grow out of it!

Is this after vaccines? I saw a mum on tiktok say after her baby’s 16 weeks vaccines he was up every hour. And now I’m terrified for 16 week vaccines🙃

not after vaccines for me. they're tomorrow..

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 🙂

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.

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?

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.

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. 🩵

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.
