My son is 2 months and 2 weeks, he’s been waking up about 2-4 times a night, and our bedtime is 9/10 and we wake up at 5:30/6:30 ( I work and that’s when I usually get up for work). I’ve been wondering when do they wake up less in the night actually. Are they waking up to eat or just up awake?

My little guy just turn 3 months today and luckily so far he has been dozing off putting himself to bed at 8 or 9 and wakes up at 645am a few nights he will wake up at 4am for a bottle.

Depends on the night… last night my daughter (10weeks) woke up 4 times, the night before last she slept 7 hours straight! I was awake more than her just checking on her lol but usually she wakes up at 11ish, 3-4, and then at 6 and will fall back asleep till 8:30

My son is 10 weeks old and usually wakes up for 2 bottles one at 2-2:30 am and 6-6:30am and will sleep until 8am and then he's ready to get up for the day.

My little guy has been sleeping through the night for 2 weeks now! We feed him at 6pm, then his nighttime bottle at 10pm and he wakes up at 6:45am for a bottle, then sleeps until 9am and is up for the day. Our pediatrician said we could give him chamomile in his nighttime bottle for his reflux and colic and that has helped him learn how to sleep through the night!

I try to start putting him down at 9 but sometimes he doesn’t fall asleep until midnight at the latest. I guess you could say he wakes up only once before morning but we often go back to sleep for a longer nap after morning feeding. Often mommy isn’t really getting up herself until 10 or noon. It’s not my favorite schedule but it’s what we’ve got.

My little guy is 11 weeks and he gets up once at night. We get him down somewhere between 8 and 10 (just depends on where it lands with his last bottle), and he gets up once anywhere from 1-3, then he gets up 5-7. If he gets up closer to 5, we can usually get him back to bed until 8. If it is closer to 6, he is up for the day.

10 weeks old, wakes up once a night

11 weeks goes to bed around 8/9 then wakes up at 12/1am and 4/5am then goes back to sleep at 8am. I am wishing he would go to sleep the entire night but apparently this is normal for babies.

this is pretty much how mine is but he wakes up again at 6 then back down till 7-7:30

My daughter slept for 7-8 hours straight for the last 3 days then last night was ready to party. She went down at 10:30 then was up at 2:30 for a feeding and went back down finally at 4:30 for half an hour and has been up since. We do t change her routine but she wants what she wants.

My little one is almost 11 weeks and he wakes 2-4 times a night but just to feed then he goes back out

I put my baba to sleep at 7:30 ish - 10 then wake for a feed, then he sleeps through until 5/6. He is 3 months old today and I’ve found FULLY waking him up at 10pm helps him sleep longer as he’s fuller. He also wakes less in the night if I change him etc every time he wakes up as I found he was waking up for milk. He didn’t like being changed so broke out the habit x

My 10 week old's sleep schedule varies. She does wha she wants. Last night out was 9-4, then 4-8. Night before ate was up every hour

Avatar

My daughter is 2 months she will be three this month but she wakes up at least twice every night I feed her at 4 am and she’s usually out till I have to feed her at either 8 or 9 and her bedtime is usually at 9 or 10

Mine has slept through the night 2 or 3 times now but usually wakes up at least once, sometimes twice.

If she wakes more than once now, I try to see if I can get her back down without a bottle and sometimes it works. Of course if she’s really demanding it though I feed her

Baby clothes

Just out of curiosity, why do parents love zipper onesies?

Don’t get me wrong, I tried zipper ones it’s easy to zip in and out when putting it on the first time and taking it out, but I find it difficult when changing diapers especially when baby is asleep.

I prefer those kimono style buttons where it’s easy to button or too down button with crotch snaps.

Is everyone thinking the same or different? Lol

At this point I’m not enjoying motherhood

My 22 month old is horrendous at the moment🫣 biting, hitting, pushing, pulling and shoving not only adults but children he also wants what other children have and will just snatch it away from them.

We repeat ‘nice hands’ ‘be gentle’ ‘let’s share’ etc

But how do I make him understand what he’s doing isn’t very nice? At the end of the day I feel like I’ve just been saying his name all day and nothing else.

What can I do?

Dummy

My baby has had a dummy since about 2 weeks old (now 5 months) and over the course of the last month we weaned her off it during the day only for naps and night (which was fine) and then 5 days took it completely away during the day.

The first day no dummy was fine, the second bit rougher. But now it feels impossible she just moans and cries all the time it takes ages for her to go down to sleep (she’s always been an amazing sleeper)

I thought it was meant to get better as time went on not worse. I’m at my wits end I dunno what to do.

Currently typing this as she screams uncontrollably in the car and I cry with her cos I can’t do anything.

Of these two, which seems more overall “demanding” to you, overall? Lighthearted poll, not putting anyone down 🫶🏼

As a mum who breastfed for 3 years, I think formula feeding seems 100x harder and more demanding. I give those mamas all the credit because I could not keep up with that faff haha. I truly don’t understand why people say breastfeeding is more effort, other than the fact that no one else can do it. But personally I’d take that over endless bottle prep & cleaning.

Is this normal?

My 12m old is really funny with kids going near him, he’s always been this way, but anytime family’s kids sit next to him or head his way he moans or cries and moves away. He also really observes them and is never really relaxed, always looking over his shoulder. Has anyone experienced this? (He’s starting nursery properly tomorrow so hoping this helps) but is this normal?
