How long did it take you to transition out of a swaddle?

I’m so nervous! She’s 11 weeks now so I really need to but she sleeps so well in her swaddle doing a 6-7 hour stretch overnight. After her 5am wake up I put her back down with one arm out just to see and she seemed confused and like swinging her arm around/hitting her head 😅 she finally settled and slept but how long did it take you if you did the transition already?

I’ve transitioned to using a sleep sack. All I did was switch one morning after a feed but before she was awake for the day. She’s been fine in it since. We have the amazing baby transition swaddle sack from Amazon

thanks! Sounds like her sleep was unchanged? Any rough nights after that? I’m getting used to sleep again I’m scared for rough nights if we switch cold turkey 😂

Well she still only goes max 4 hours between feeds, but that’s how it was before. I can’t wait until she starts sleeping a little bit longer!

at least it was unchanged! Your profile says 1 month, mine started getting better 5+ hour stretches around 6 weeks. It’s coming soon for you! ☺️

That's a great idea, I think I'll start that tonight!

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 🥰
