Baby up almost every hour

Hi ladies! Bubba turned 3 months yesterday! He had his 12 week jabs on Tuesday and since then he wakes up almost every hour at night! Prior to this he used to have one long stretch at night and then wake up every 2 hours or so

My LO is 14 weeks and we are back to almost every hour! Sometimes 1.5 hours, it’s exhausting. We’ve also had tongue tie cut 2 weeks ago. This is the 3rd time he’s been up since 1am 😩

We're 15 weeks and also in the midst of sleep regression! Slept 8.30-12.30 but awake approx every 1 hour since! Last sleep was only 35 mins!

Same here. She is 3mo today and while she has a longer stretch at the beginning of the night it seems that this is getting shorter and shorter with her waking up every 1.5 after the first time 🤦🏻‍♀️. Then again towards the early hours she seems to have another long-ish stretch. So strange! She was waking up maximum 2-3 times in total before. It’s exhausting but we can all do this 💪🏼🤞🏼

GIRLLL Sameeee 😩😩
the only way i can get a longer sleep out of her is to co sleep but i just want my own bed space now
fingers crossed it ends soon!!

We are the same - every 1-2 hours all night, after one 2.5/ 3 hour stretch between 7.30/8-10.30ish. Today after 4.30 he didn't seem to fall back into a deep sleep at all- I was rocking the crib to keep him asleep about every 15 minutes when he'd start thrashing around which always ends in him waking up. Finally picked him up and fed him at 6.50 when the rocking failed to work any more.

My little boy started this 2 weeks ago the day of his second set of jabs. The past couple nights we are finally getting back to normal only waking a couple times for his dummy then straight back to sleep. It does get better thankfully because at the time I felt I would never see the end of it🙈

Should I wake baby up to feed?

First time mum here, my baby is 2 months old today. Should I be waking her for night feeds? During the day she feeds every 2–3 hours, but at night she usually sleeps from around 11pm to about 3am, and I’ve been waking her then. Is that okay, or should I let her sleep?

Birthday postpartum

I’m due to give birth to our second child weeks before my birthday. My partner wants to know what I want to do but I don’t know what would be possible so soon. I already get things like facials and my hair and nails done and it’s been made clear none of those qualify as a present for my birthday 😅 I don’t know what more I could possibly do 😅 there’s no way I’m going to want to go on a day out 😂

Night time help!

Hi! My baby boy is nearly 6 months old and every night he wakes up anytime from 2am onwards and will be awake for well over two hours.
I’ve tried changing his naps during the day, changing his bedtimes and yet nothing seems to help!
Any tips that might help this exhausted mummy?
I don’t mind the wake ups if he would settle straight away but he views it as a whole wake window.

Feel like I’m solo parenting

I’m so sick of arguing with my husband over this.

My daughter is 11 weeks old, and my husband works Monday to Friday. I look after her all day every day, and on the weekends and some evenings he goes out cycling. I don’t mind this, he gets extremely ratty and stir crazy if he doesn’t go out, and it drives me mad.

Lately. My daughter’s sleep pattern is all over the place in terms of the second stretch. She tends to go for 6 hours, then has a feed, then either goes for another 4 hours, or starts to fuss at about 5:30 am. (I realise this first stretch is a dream, please believe me I’m not complaining about that.

My husband starts work at 7 am from home, or leaves at 6 am if he’s going into the office.

This means that he comes home, feeds her once while I’m in the shower, while I handle all of the other feeds/ settling her off at night. I rarely go back to sleep after as I’m so wired. He also struggles to sleep once he’s awake, so when she fusses for her night feed, he’s up from around 4 am regardless of feeding her or not.

I see him for around 3 hours a day apart from weekends, and in that time I cook, he does the dishes and cleans the bottles. We then bath/wash LO, he feeds her, then we watch a film or show until her next feed at 9:30 pm.

He has gone up to bed early to try and get more sleep because he feels like he’s exhausted to the point of headaches. (I am too, but it seems like this isn’t as important because I don’t go to work. He acknowledges that it’s hard work looking after her all day, this isn’t the problem). I have stayed downstairs with her, because to me, disturbing a sleeping baby only to put her in a crib for 30 minutes after settling her again, to feed her and then have to restart the process is ridiculous when she’s asleep already.

I feel like I do everything. I feed and settle her every time. When he can’t calm her down within 10 minutes he passes her back despite me having her all day and him not seeing her.

I love my daughter more than anything, and my husband is lovely, I swear. It’s just a really tough time with her sleep, and I’m struggling to cope. I’m so, so tired. And he doesn’t seem to realise this, because he is. We have talked about this so many times, but it just turns into an argument. Please tell me this will pass?

12 week jabs

anyone heres babys had their 12 week jabs yet, how were they afterwards?

Newborn sleep for 9 hours

Hello mamas, my newborn is 6 weeks old. Last night she slept for 9 hours without waking up for a feed. The previous night she slept for 8 hours as well. During the day she had quite a lot awake periods and she was eating well. She also gained 1kg for a month which the midwife said it's very good. Is she okay like that and should I wake her up to feed her during the night?
