How often do they wake up? Each night has been different for us. Lately it’s usually once a night which has been a big improvement.

Girl same… it’s been rough. My oldest was such a good sleeper. My almost 9 month old is so off and on with his sleep 😭

My baby started sleeping better at about 5 months, only waking up two - three times at night but since 7 months he wakes up crying many times even after 8 oz. Also he used to sleep every night at 8 pm now it’s so hard to put him to sleep, sometimes he stays up until 2 am 🥲 I’ve taken him to the doctor and they said he was healthy and there’s nothing wrong. Idk what to do now🥲

I have the same issue but because he has severe separation anxiety! I’m not sure how to fix it

Nothing worked for me until I night weened. It sucked but it only took a week or two. I started that at 7.5 months

Mine either! He was a great sleeper initially but now it takes an hour plus to get him down and he wakes up screaming every 3 hours but he doesn’t want food or a pacifier just to be held.

It is developmentally normal to still wake up at night and every kid is different. Some still wake up every night for 2-3 years.
My first kid is a great sleeper for the last 2.5 years, but the first 9 months were tough. I’m hoping my 8 month old will get better around 9 months too, but we’ll see.

He usually gets up about an hour after he’s down then the second time will be between 2-5 am

It’s biologically normal for babe to wake up at night! They crave the comfort of their mama.

Mine wakes up every 3-4 hours every night to feed 😔 at my wits end

When did you circumcise your baby?
If you DID NOT or DO NOT have a circumcised son DO NOT comment this post is not for you!

Did you wait a certain amount of time or have it done immediately?
Again respectfully, this is only for the parents who choose to do so.
opinions about how not necessary it is will not be appropriate for this post. Thank you in advance. 🩵

Can someone pls help i keep making this post and nobody is responding

My boyfriend booked a trip for us to go to mexico for a week as my push present. I have severe anxiety leaving my 7 month old with my mom. I know she will be in good hands but she’s exclusively breast fed for the most part but accepts bottles just fine. i have all my pumping parts packed and will pump when baby normally eats but i don’t want baby to forget me or have latch issues when i return!! any mommas ever experience this?

Postpartum

I’m only 3 days postpartum (FTM) and already have extremely bad anxiety. I’m crying every night, as I think of another night of no sleep. My baby will not settle in his cot, he cries every moment we put him down unless in his chair rocker. So me and my partner are having to alternate after 3/4 hours of being awake with him downstairs. I’m trying everything to get him to settle. It’s a load of overwhelming stress. I’m 23, I was desperate for a baby and now I have one and feel completely useless. I miss it just being me and my partner.

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....

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!

Can someone speak on drug screening and c section?

I smoked all through my first pregnancy and tested positive didn’t have any issues a social worker came in and spoke to me and hubby and that was it but this time I’m having an elective c section and wondering did they drug test you there?
