Is this normal?

My almost 4 month old has slept through the night for almost a week now. And when we’re talking about sleeping through the night I’m meaning like 6-8 hours. Is this normal?

Completely normal! My baby does the same. She sleeps for about 7 hours without a feed and then wakes up at 4am, goes back to sleep and wakes up 6.30am. Let baby sleep you will feel better for it xx

Totally normal. My little one slept 6/7 hours from 7 weeks and now at 3 months sleeps 9pm-7am

My now three month old started sleeping 10-12 hours through the night at 1.5 months old

It’s normal, but they should be feeding every 4-5 hours for sure. Maybe dream feed her a couple times? That’s what I was instructed by my lactation consultant bc I was pumped he only woke once a night. Sorry to be the bearer of bad news😭

that’s not what general guidelines are. As long as they’re gaining weight and feeding lots in the day they can sleep for longer periods as early as two or three months. It may be that there was a specific reason for your little one. But nice guidelines are different x

Yes.. count your lucky stars! After our one month apt and baby was gaining weight my doctor said to let him sleep! He is now 6 months old and still a great sleeper!

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?

My LO every feed. Drs don’t seem to think it’s a problem the whole Muslim cloth gets soaked so much I’m using towels now. I’ve tried size O teats he gets really frustrated and still spills it out :(

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.

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?
