Baby never sleeps longer than 2 hours

Help! I don’t know what to do to make him sleep longer 😩. He’s BF so slightly addicted to the boob. I haven’t slept longer than 2 hours since December 🙃

We’re pretty much the same. I think it’s one of the things that faces a EBF mother.

We’re EBF I try and feed him as much as I can in the evening, he sleeps 3-3.5 hrs at the start of the night then he’s up every 1.5-2 hrs after 💀 I’m hoping that with time he will sleep longer stretches. Following in case anyone has any tips!

I’m in the same boat starting to lose my mind now 😵‍💫😅

I’m the same! Was hoping that starting solids would give me a longer stretch at night but he’s got worse😅 sending solidarity!!

Same here! It’s tough going, a few nights where she has been fussy on top of this too, waking almost every hour or so. I don’t know how we keep going but somehow we do. Things will get easier! 🌈

My LG is EBF and sleeps 3-4 hours between feeds at night. We started with just rocking her back to sleep between feeds if she woke before a minimum of 3 hours and we're slowly working towards getting her to not wake for feeds at all at night, it's not easy but that's what worked for us x

Help! First time mum -

I have a 4 month old and now all of a sudden when he’s been asleep for 1hr30/2hrs he will wake up screaming (high pitched) I’ve tried winding him sometimes that helps, I’ve tried bicycle legs & bringing his knees up but that doesn’t seem to help but he brings his knees up himself sometimes but nothing happens. I’ve noticed since the 4 month mark he has started to struggle passing wind downwards! Any tips?

Bath Time

Help! My baby is 3 and a half weeks old. Every bath she goes in quite happy but will only stay like this for a very few mins, if I try to clean her or move her we have tears and after a few mins the same. It's like she is scared. Our current baby bath is quite big should I try a different one? Looking for any suggestions as want her to enjoy bath time not be upset and I'm scared I'm going to make her hate it😢💗

Big nursing bras!

I’m looking for recommendations for good nursing bras for bigger breasted ladies!

I’m currently in a 38H which seems to be the biggest size done at M&S (UK based mama here) and it’s snug and not as supportive as I’d like. When I look online, they mainly seem to be sized S, M, L, XL etc rather than bra sizes.

Any recommendations please?

Crying during feeding

Hey mams! My girl is 6 weeks on Monday and is having so much trouble with feeding. It doesn’t happen every feed but more often than not she will start a bottle and just start crying as if she’s in pain and she can’t take the milk. I think it’s trapped wind but I genuinely don’t know what to do it’s so pitiful to see her not be able to feed! She’s formula fed and on HiPP Organic.
Anyone else been in this position? I’m pretty sure it’s just a bit of trapped wind that she needs to fart out but can’t! If anyone has any advice I’d be very grateful as I think I may need to tape my eyelids open soon 😂

Don’t want to leave my first born😭😭😭

Anyone else extremely sad and anxious to leave their first born😭

He’s 2 and we have never not put him to bed or be here for when he wakes up😭

I’m so sad and anxious about leaving him
