Two under two

Ladies that have 2 under two, how do you make sure your toddler does not wake up when the baby wakes up in the night for feeds? Im trying to decide if i should try for another baby( im 7 months postpartum) but i just dont know how do you navigate this aspect? I dont have a massive house with rooms far away from each other, so its hard to keep one part of the house quiet when another is noisy. I already tiptoe when my 7 months old is sleeping ( after 7 pm). Thank you.

We have white noise in the toddlers room (she’s had it since a baby) and white noise in babies room. We had it in our room when baby was sleeping in there. You can not hear noise from the other rooms at all.

Yep, white noise is amazing! We also found that our toddler is a much deeper sleeper than we thought she was - 2 years of creeping around at night and keeping the tv volume low to find she could easily sleep through a screaming newborn 😂. At 7m she absolutely wasn’t though, it changes with time

Thank you, ladies, hopefully she will start sleeping deeper at a certain point!

When do things get easier?

As we entered the 9-12 month stage, my son started crawling and pulling himself up. He also became more clingy and does not play alone, still doesnt sleep through the night, and this week has been sick (so EVERYTHING amplified). I am tired and overwhelmed. Please lie and tell me things get better. 🥺

Colostrum storing?

Has anyone successfully extracted colostrum before the baby’s born? Apparently it gets produced from 16w pregnant and you can start storing it in the freezer but I’m 34w looking at my nipples and the syringes on amazon wondering how it works?? Like what did you use and did it hurt? 🥲

4 month bed time

What time do you put your babies to bed?
What time do you start your 'routine?'
My LO currently goes to bed around 10.30pm, and I know i need to start bringing it forward. Everytime ive tried, it takes longer for my LO to settle.
We are exclusively breastfeeding. Any advice Mamas?

Self settling

Any tips or advice of how to teach 6.5month old to self settle? I’m up multiple times in the night to cuddle her back to sleep and put the dummy in. I understand she will wake up and want a cuddle etc but any tips on self settling would be appreciated 🥰

Baby losing weight

Hi all, it's been a long time since I had a baby (my son is 15!). My daughter is 10 days old and was 9lb born, she has since lost weight at every appointment and is at a 12% loss. I am breast feeding every two hours for over an hour and topping her up every feed. I pump and can get 60ml in 10 minutes so I know my supply is okay. Anyone had this before? Can give me some tips? I currently feel like I'm letting my baby down.
