Nighttime/ daytime help

My baby girl is 2 months tomorrow she only has 30 min naps throughout the day if that, she is still only tiny nearly 9lbs.. I try to do the feed play nap routine throughout the day however she often falls asleep after a feed and I feel terrible waking her, I tend to change her after bottle to wake her up that way but I don’t know if that’s the right
Thing to do? She feeds every 2-3 hours still and at night will at most go 4.. I’m stuck with what I’m doing tbh and how to help her sleep better at night. Advice please?

This is the same for me except I haven’t been doing feed play nap I’m just letting her do what she wants! Probably why she isn’t getting into a routine!!

Ours also keeps falling asleep during feeds, she has been like that since the start. So what worked for me was play and do tummy time etc as soon as, then only feed when she shows hunger cues, she will fall asleep, then keep burping her, if she doesn't wake up in like 15ish minutes then I'd wake up her by changing, then play a bit more and finish the feed and she falls asleep to it. This helps us to finish 4/5oz bottles and then she'll nap for like 3/4 hours. Maybe try that? X

It's natural to sleep after a feed! Play before! Feeding every 3 hours is normal - they have tiny tummies. 4 hours is fantastic! Enjoy and know you're getting more sleep than many of us!

don't worry about routine yet!

why does everyone say feed play nap? My baby gets grumpy unless she’s fed lol

meh sleep consultant culture...do what feels right!

Poop question

Hey mommas I’m a ftm and my babygirl hasn’t pooped in two days she’s formula feed and is 12 weeks old. I can tell she’s uncomfortable and I feel so bad. I’ve been doing belly rubs and bicycle kicks and all the things like that. Also gave her some gas drops and gripe water to relieve the gas but still no poop. Does anyone have any tips or tricks for me. Pic so we don’t get lost💕

Health Visitor Home Visit

Hii, could anyone explain what the health visitor does on their home visit?

Also if anyone had a home birth, what the midwife home risk assessment involves?

I’ve got 3 home visits coming up in the next two weeks (health visitor, midwives and doula) and it’s making me nervous for some reason. I think having 3 just feels like a lot and a bit invasive if that makes sense!

Who else is out there holding a baby thru the night so his noises dont wake up the house?!

I cant believe im still doing this at 15 months old!!!

My 2nd child is not just the noisiest sleeper but they have always been weird with breastfeeding

I think currently he is having some kinda developmental leap and growth spurt, eating and drinking like crazy and in the middle of the night if he wakes up , it takes ages to put back to sleep and he rolls around making sooooo much noise!!!

And i either have a low supply now OR he loves a fast flow and so he just jumps off the boob when it slows and complains loudly or just talks cutely but loudly! and i have to keep swapping boobs OR i have to get up and hold him and feed so gravity helps and the flow is faster and holding him means he eventually sleeps or at-least is feeding properly so is bloody quiet now! So at 1 am or 3am or often 5am onwards im holding n feeding until he wakes up 🥲🥲🥲

Any tips?

How’s everyone’s babies sleeping?

My little one is 19 weeks, she used to sleep through when we would put her to bed at around 10pm, she would sleep through until 6-7 am.
Now she gets so tired around 8 pm so we moved her bedtime here, but coming with this is 1-2 night feeds and she’ll be wide awake at 6 am, which I know is still amazing but I am currently as sick as a dog so hasn’t been the best for my flu 🤣.
I’m unsure whether this is the regression though as her naps are very scattered throughout the day with the max nap being 30 minutes through contact only.
Does this sound like the regression? When did your little one start sleeping through again if they ever did? Thanks in advance 🤗❤️

How are we entertaining our babies

What toys does everyone have for their 7 month old?
Nothing is satisfying my little girl she's got blocks, rattles, playmats loads more. She would much rather hold my hands and walk all day but I cant physically do that and whenever I put her down to play she just wont, is this just a faze?
