Sleep

Is anyone else’s baby not sleeping very well? I know it will fluctuate, and I assuming it is likely related to his jabs, but I am so tired.
He’s 12 weeks so also wondered if he could be going through a regression.
Sending hugs to any other tired mums. We will sleep again.

Nope. Up every few hours some nights. And down to 30 minute naps in the day. I feel like a fossil!

Yep I was getting 10-5 then back down til eight and now I’m getting two or three wake ups! There’s a leap around now as well which might affect sleep too.

😂😂 it’s the only way I can describe myself right now, I’m glad I can make another tired Mum laugh tho!

Yeah! I posted about this a couple of days ago and noticed others had too. We were getting 9-5 and now he’s waking up every hour and will only sleep when being held 🙃

Yeah I was celebrating because my daughter was doing 5/6 stretches and then she started to wake up every h/two. She never naps unless on me/ in the pram - no change there. Send help 🫠

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. 🥺

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? 🥲

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?

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?

Self settling

Any tips or advice of how to teach 6.5month old to self settle? I’m up multiple times in the night to cuddle her back to sleep and put the dummy in. I understand she will wake up and want a cuddle etc but any tips on self settling would be appreciated 🥰
