6-6.30am feed. Do you consider this as a day or night feed?

Recently, my little girl goes down at 6.30pm and sleeps through until around 6-6.30am before stirring for milk. If I get her up for the day at this time she becomes really tired after 30-40 minutes which is indicating to me she considers it a night feed. Would you put your baby back to sleep at this time?

Is anyone else’s doing similar? I assume it’s the final part of night feeds completely but unsure how to approach it.

Thanks 😊

First day feed x

First day feed also

I would say 12 hours is a full nights sleep so I would consider that her first day feed. However, since I hate getting up early if that was my son I probably would see if he’d go back to sleep after 😅
Although also normal for their first wake window to be the shortest and need a nap!

My boy wakes about 6 for a bottle but sometimes wants to go back sleep for another hour x

I just follow his lead, let him go back sleep if he wants, or if not just come downstairs and start the day. X

In the same boat but at 7😂 I try to start the day but thinking I should probably feed upsatirs as hes a crank and had a nap after about 30 mons xx

I read in a baby book I’ve got that 6am is considered morning feed anything before 6 considered still night time x

Yes, I normally start the day if it’s after 6:30am but my LG is the same, so tired. She’s normally back down by 7:30/8 for her first nap. She would probably feed upstairs then go straight back. Not sure what’s the best x

Day x

How old is your little one? First wake window of the day is often the shortest. But a 10-12 hour night is ideal, and after 6am is considered morning according to the sleep consultant I used!

My boy does the same, wakes at 6-6:30 for a feed and then wants to go back to sleep till 8. Fine with me 🤣

Thank you so much everyone. She is almost 7 months xxx

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.

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.
