First time mums

My baby does not nap at all. Please some advice 😭

I’ve tried everything, dark room, pacifier, rocking him, everything. He will only nap on me after nursing

Walks out in a pram?

How old is he? He may just want to be close to you and feel safe enough to fall asleep

You could try habit stacking https://www.instagram.com/lyndsey_hookway/p/CyqySRhRwfJ/?img_index=1

How old is your baby ? My baby sleeps 10 times better since I moved her into our bed for the day she loves to be close and sleeps more xx

Contact / co-sleepers over here!

My baby sleeps much better on me. I use a nursing pillow to support her weight and she falls asleep at the breast. I just watch tv, get on my apps etc. I find it as more me time than just “sitting”. Then I try to get some small things done around the house during some of her wake times, it’s good for her to have independent time as well.

That’s just what works for us 🩷
Good luck mama.

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?

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?

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 🥰
