Do y’all have milk supply issues?

I’m not having any problems per day but i was wondering the correlation between low supply-crib sleeping and full supply—Co sleeping

I’ve been breastfeeding for 4 years non stop (3 back to back babies) and my supply is higher the closer my babies are to me. I honestly think it’s cause me and my babes did so much skin to skin while co sleeping.

3 back to back?? I can barely handle the one!!! How are you surviving??

I don’t know why I thought it would be fun 😅 I love it but I’m also going crazy!

all 3 sleep in bed with us still but I’m thinking of transitioning the oldest in his own bed. Having it in our room would be a great idea!

are the transitions rough?

I’m learning this! I’m trying to get him used to sleeping in the bassinet (so we can have sexy time) but he gotta be deep sleep or else he not going for it. By the time i get him sleep, HUBBYS SLEEP!!😂😂😂 I also think it’s bc the bassinet is too hard and not comfortable for him.

yeah I’m working on getting a new bed frame so we can have some more space.

I co-sleep and I’ve always had really great supply and could easily oversupply if I wanted to pump. My daughter also feeds throughout the night and shes in the 99th percentile for height/weight. Though idk if that has any correlation. My sister’s baby crib sleeps and before weaning her supply wasn’t the greatest so she was constantly buying supplements and things that are supposed to help increase supply. And her baby is very small (not underweight though!! Still very healthy! And again, idk if there’s a correlation there! I just wonder if there is)

The four month regression is so hard …

For the last three weeks my baby girl who was now 14 weeks has only an hour wake window. She needs rocking to sleep for daytime nap which takes anything from 10 to 20 minutes. Then she only sleeps for 30 minutes at a time she’s crying all day because she’s tired. The only time she’s not crying is at night time when she’s getting a decent sleep She cries so much it’s hard to take her anywhere and I haven’t wanted to take her anywhere because she can’t sleep without it being in the car or the pram but there’s times so she’s just so constant. I’m not even dressed to take her out anywhere. It’s been hard the last couple of weeks and it’s been worse than the newborn stage because she hasn’t settled even with being cuddled and held …taking her into her garden has worked a few times …I hope this phase changes as it’s so challenging had a bit of a cry today …

Autism

I have been noticing everyone I know that as a boy 2-5 years has been diagnosed with autism. Has anyone else noticed this or maybe I’m just noticing this out of concern for my 10 month old boy.

How often is your baby waking up in the night?

My baby is 5 months old and waking up every 3 hours. Some nights he could do a 4 hour stretch and some he would do just 2. It’s a bit all over the place to be honest. Is it normal for so many wake ups at this age? What is everyone else’s baby doing?

Bath time

When did people start using products in the bath? I’ve just started using baby body wash tonight & hoping he doesn’t come up in a rash.. is it too early as he is 4 weeks old

Breastfeeding advice

I’ve just seen this and thought YES to everything so thought I’d share! As a second time mum I had all of these and almost gave up because of the first one!!

How do you cosleep?

I know all about sleep safe 7, the dangers of cosleeping etc etc, but there seems to be a huge difference between online and people I meet in real life. Most people I know report cosleeping, but online its villainised more.
No judgement here - I'm just genuinely curious what people are actually doing!

Comments if its something different.

Our baby has her own cot. She sleeps well in it until early morning and then only sleeps if shes on/next to me. I'll also admit to having fallen asleep breastfeeding several times (no lectures, she's safe - but other people have said they've done the same).
