Sleeping through at 16 weeks old

My two twinnies have just started sleeping through the night all of a sudden, they usually go to sleep around 8:30pm/9:00pm then wake anytime between 6;00am and 7:00am.

I’m very grateful as I’m getting a good nights sleep however I’m worried they are missing a bottle during the night as they are having their last bottle at around 7:30pm/8:00ish. I know they would wake if they were hungry but just putting this out there for some advice.

My wee one has slept 8pm-6/7am since he was about 9 weeks or so - if they are gaining weight and no concerns over feeding etc then it's all good! Our babies are just getting better at drinking and their tummies are able to store more for a longer nights sleep 🥰 my wee one tends to eat quite a bit from about 4/5pm and I say that's him stocking up for his long sleeps 🤣🤣

thank-you so much for your reply makes me a feel a bit more at ease. Exactly the same with my two they drink much more between 4-5ish. X

I try to get as much food in him as possible to get him nice and full! There are nights where he will wake once but even those wakes have become shorter - they're treating us well! Don't know about you but I panicked when he slept through for the first time - I woke up at about 3am and couldn't get back to sleep as I didn't see the point thinking he would wake up 😅

Mine has been sleeping through quite often like this from about 4 weeks! They will soon let you know if they’re hungry :)

yeah, I woke up at like 4 and was all out of sorts I didn’t know if I’d been awake or not to feed 🤣 then realised I hadn’t😅x

Ms Rachel ??

How many of you are putting ms Rachel on??? I’ve just introduced it to my 8 month old and it’s like sorcery. I feel so guilty putting it on because LO don’t take his eyes off the screen, but it’s the only way I’m getting 20/30 minutes during Velcro baby stage. I’ll put it on twice a day for up to 30 mins at a time, the rest of the time we’re out the house, playing with toys or he’s with me doing jobs around the house. Should I even feel guilty?😩

Leaky nappy advice

We use mamia nappies and have had no issue until now. We are using size 3 but she is leaking through them every night as she sleeps through the night. We’ve tried 4+ for night but they are still too big. Does anyone have any advice or any other brand that might hold more in a size 3?

Thoughts on this pram?

I’m 18 weeks pregnant and thinking of prams to get my baby. I saw this on Amazon and it seems affordable, plus the reviews are very positive about the quality of the product. Are there any mamas in the group that got this specific model? If so, how did you find it?

Toddler tippy toeing

My daughter is two been tippy toeing ever since shes learned how to walk. Not sure if it’s a phase or if it’s autism. If it helps shes also a really active baby. Has anyone experienced this with their toddler?

TBH

To be honest- I’m starting to hate that my husband gets to sleep peacefully , getting virtually uninterrupted sleep, while I’m being woken up every other moment by our 5 month old 🙃 I’m so so tired, my body hurts, and I have a little cold that won’t go away. My baby sleeps next to me and feeds on demand (it’s my fault, I know). I tried to regulate him without the boob, tonight, and he started crying. My husband tried to soothe him for less than a minute, but I took him back when I saw my husband was getting irritated by him crying. I ended up feeding him until he was mostly asleep, now he’s sleeping on my chest. I’m awake, I have to use the bathroom, and forgot to take my contacts out, and put nursing pads in, but I’m stuck. Meanwhile, my husband went back to sleep immediately 😮‍💨😤 how do people do this long term? 😩

I am almost 3 weeks postpartum and still bleeding. Can I use tampons yet?

I am so sick of using pads. It’s been almost 3 weeks and I am still bleeding. Can I use tampons yet?
