Here for the tips I'm stuck as well

I'm also stuck. Can get her to sleep without nursing but she refuses to sleep more than 30 minutes after midnight without staying attached, I cosleep for this reason. She sleeps in her bed from about 7pm till midnight when she wakes up for the 2nd time

At this age, any change to routine is going to be met with protest. Hear the protest and hold the boundary. Drop one session at a time and once it's gone, it's gone. No going back.

Offer a sippy/straw cup and cuddles instead. No more breastfeeding doesn't mean no more drink at sleep time or no more snuggles, just no more boob.

My biggest advice is be consistent.

this right here

😭same It may seem awful but I get to tired to deal with it so she sleeps in my bed and whenever she wake up I just take out a boob!! But she gets aggressive now which is a reason why I just wanna be done breastfeeding I’ve tried to stop all she does is scream!

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?

Baby with chronic congestion

Hi everyone! My 1 year has been a congested baby since birth almost. She breathes through her mouth so often that it wakes her up multiple times at night and she cries and screams and then struggles to go back to sleep. She wakes up every 1-3 hours and sometimes can’t go back to sleep for 2-3 hours!!! Piriton is the only thing that seems to help her sleep mostly through the night but I can’t keep giving her that!!
Does anyone have tips as to have I can do or give her? Has anyone experienced? I have no idea when I’ll get an ENT appointment and I have no idea what he can give a 13 mo :( we are desperate for sleep so any tips are welcome!! We have tried steam inhalation, saline drops, vapour rubs and everything off the counter basically!

Combi feeding advice

Has anyone gone from EBF to combi feeding? Currently do one bottle of EBM per night and they one half formula half breast milk mixed in the day. The other times she still feeds on me. Ideally I want to feed all day via bottle and all night with breast. She’s 7 weeks and takes a bottle well, how long should I leave it before adding another bottle to her daily routine?
