My 7 weeks old boy sleeps in his crib at night but refusing to sleep anywhere but on me during the day, I can’t wait for him to be happy napping in his crib so I can go to the toilet and not feel guilty 😭

its not nice when they wake up but of course we need to do basic stuff at least! She is 10 weeks tomorrow and this could just be a complete one off who knows. She shocked me and swapped straight from her swaddle to a sleeping sack with no issues

Luckily this morning he was just happily laying in his crib and allowed me to sort the animals, use the toilet, etc without screaming the house down! It would be nice to do some hobby stuff too eventually! 😂

aw eventually! I pop my little girl in her bouncer just by the shower door whilst i use the bathroom in the morning or pop her playmat just by the door maybe that could help you?

He has a complicated relationship with those! It either goes really well or he immediately cries until he is picked up again 😭

that's the same with my boy! He usually goes in his bouncer while I'm in the shower... But as soon as I get out he screams so I can't get ready properly 😅

or it’s the least relaxing getting ready process because you’re rushing 😭

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. 🥺

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?

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? 🥲

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?
