Night feed

Those who have babies that sleep through- at what age did they drop the 11pm feed? Baby will go to bed (downstairs with us) at 7-9pm ish (only 15 weeks currently) but doesn’t always wake for the feed so we find we are having to wake him to get this feed in. Just wondered what age ish they tend to drop the last feed? Thanks

sleeps through from what time to when?

he’s obviously above birth weight but I feel if he didn’t have that 11pm ish feed then he’d be awake in the early hours for a feed so it’s better to wake him at 11pm if he hasn’t already woken up

thanks, I think he would do the same possibly but an early hours feed is not ideal and waking him if needed at 11pm ish works for now. What age did your baby stop that last feed? He currently sleeps from 7/8/9pm until 10/11pm when he usually wakes for a further feed of 5-7oz then sleeps through to 7.30/8am

I stopped at 8 weeks when she naturally slept through until a decent time. Although I know a lot of people who continued with dream feeds for a good few months

I used to dream feed my boy at 10pm but the last couple of weeks I haven’t bothered! He’s nearly 4 months now, but he was tiny when born so that’s probably why I did a dream feed for so long x

When does it get better?

I was crying on the phone with the perinatal mental health team today and the lovely lady, bless her, kept assuring me that it gets better. I kept telling her I hope so because people have been saying that since having my LO and it just feels like it keeps getting worse. She assured me it gets better....

Rant/WWYD

My sister (youngest, 24) has two kids, 4 & 1, and i (oldest, 30) just have my one who’s 6mo old right now, so i ask her for advice or call her to vent about things sometimes. Well im tired of her turning around and telling my other family members that I’m “losing my sh*t.” Literally have not lost my sh*t nor have i ever freaked out to her about my baby, i just call her to talk and tell her what stage my baby is in or talk through how im feeling, but she chooses to tell people that im like a complete nutcase or something which worries me that my family is going to start being judgmental about me as a mother or looking at me funny like I’m some fragile ticking time bomb.

What would you do in this situation? I’m already pretty much decided that I’ll stop telling her anything about my struggles, but I’m almost at the point where i feel like it should be confronted because she, of all people, should understand what I’m going through.

Rapid cool/ hot shot method

Sorry if this sound stupid but how are we doing the hot shot method?
Are we boiling the kettle and letting it cool a little before adding to hot flask? Then with the cool water do you boil the kettle and leave it to cool right down before putting into another flask?
My baby brain is fried trying to work out the easiest way!

Night time routine

Heya, my 3 week old daughter is currently exclusively breastfed and I’m not pumping. Can anyone recommend the best way to share the load with my partner? At the moment I’m doing all the feeds/burbs/settling and my partner is sleeping through which obviously isn’t sustainable, I’m trying to work out the best way to get him involved. Any advice very much appreciated!
