2 hourly feeding

Everyone talks about the 4 month sleep regression but I feel like I’ve permanently been in it. Since day 1 my LG has woken for a feed every 2 hours ish. Last night it was every 1.5 hours. Anyone else struggling to get even a 4 hour stretch of sleep?

Do they drink the whole bottle every single time or just a few ounces x

Hi, my boy is EBF and still wakes every 2 hours, he is just over 4 months old now. We had a short period of better sleep but been in a regression ever since.

Yes! We are the same, she's never slept great but like Heidi said we had about a week where it got better then it just got awful again 😭 also breastfeeding with occasional bottle of expressed milk, feel like it's never going to get better and not sure what else to try, other than sleep training which I'm dreading

It’s so nice to know I’m not alone either!! Little man is 4months too & still thinks it’s party time at night, we get between 2/3 hours feeding. 🙈

Mine is the same. She is exclusively breastfed and I've literally had one and only one 5 hour stretch and that was last week when she had her vaccine 🥲 (she is 4 months and 10 days old)
Other than that, she never slept more than 2 hours in a row.

Yes we're v similar! Had a short stretch of 3-4 hour sleeps when she was about 4-6 weeks old; but now wakes every 2-3 hours at night. My first was the same and if I'm honest lasted until she was about 12 months 😬 then things started to improve massively and she's slept through the night since about 18 months. We never sleep trained just sort of rode it out...

🙌🙌🙌 this is us!! so jealous of all the mums posting their babies sleeping through the night. i seriously question whether i am just doing something wrong as 3hours is the longest we have had sometimes it’s only 30minutes 🥺

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....

Rant/WWYD

My sister (youngest, 24) has two kids, 4 & 1, and i (oldest, 30) just have my one who’s 6mo old right now, so i ask her for advice or call her to vent about things sometimes. Well im tired of her turning around and telling my other family members that I’m “losing my sh*t.” Literally have not lost my sh*t nor have i ever freaked out to her about my baby, i just call her to talk and tell her what stage my baby is in or talk through how im feeling, but she chooses to tell people that im like a complete nutcase or something which worries me that my family is going to start being judgmental about me as a mother or looking at me funny like I’m some fragile ticking time bomb.

What would you do in this situation? I’m already pretty much decided that I’ll stop telling her anything about my struggles, but I’m almost at the point where i feel like it should be confronted because she, of all people, should understand what I’m going through.

Not drinking

I’m going crazy. Baby born at 2.26kg. Slow to put on weight. This last week hasn’t put on any. Been trying to feed him at night and he’s not interested at all. Fast asleep. During day he will have 5 minute gulps and that’s it. He don’t cry for milk. I’ve got to keep offering to him. I try to offer it every hour but I don’t know what I’m doing. HV said nutrition comes after 5 minutes so I should pump first and then give him. I find it so hard. I tried to pump one boob nothing came. The other abit came. Tried giving him express he’s not interested in that too. Sometimes he will go for a longer a feed but not long at all. He’s 4 months and is currently 5.46kg. I have no family or friend support here and wish I had a cook, cleaner and nanny to help with everything so I can concentrate on the little one. I don’t know what’s wrong with him but I’m loosing it. It doesn’t help that my also stressed generally about my relationship and life circumstances. Any advice that will work. Any comfort you can give. I’m fed up. Is this regression - not feeding. He’s fast fast asleep. I’ve been trying to push the nipple in but that mouth is closed shut. I took some clothes off. Changed his nappy but he’s still asleep. Please help

Sleeping bag

8 week old in sleeping bag for first time as big enough! Do you feed your child in the night whilst in the sleeping bag or taken them out, feed then transfer back to sleeping bag before putting down?

Leaky nappy help

What nappies are you using to stop leaks?? We use pampers ultra dry size 5, and for the past few nights he has lashed through and we’ve had to completely change him during the night. Last night he leashed through twice!! He sleeps on his front and stays leaks through at the top of his leg where the tabs connect. Didn’t know whether to size up, he has a bit of a belly on him but he’s smack in middle of weight guidance so shouldn’t need too
