How often do you breastfeed?

For those that exclusively bf how often do you do this? I’m currently doing every 2-3 hours but wonder if baby getting enough. He often falls asleep. Does this happen to anyone else?

I’m breastfeeding roughly every 3-4 hours. I am also feeding on demand. My baby also falls asleep on the boob towards the end of the feed.

Every 2-3 hours. She does the odd 4 hour stretch. She also usually falls asleep when she’s done and this can be after anywhere from 10-40 mins x

Mine can go anywhere from 2-4 hrs for feeding and will also tend to fall asleep at the end of feeds. Feeds lasting between 20-40mins. I get plants of wet/dirty nappies and my baby putting in weight so happy so far. Are you also pumping? Ie the other breast not feeding from?

Every 1-2 hours. Falling asleep is normal if they’ve had a full feed!

On demand, usually every couple of hours but as little as half an hour and as long as 4 hours between feeds. Most feeds are 10-15 minutes but can be from 5-50! Often falls asleep at the breast

On demand. So sometimes it could be every 30 mins if she’s cluster feeding , other times it could be every 2-4 hours x

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

Am I wrong?

I’ve been wanting to add more garden beds to my garden. Husband says “hey do you want to go to Home Depot to get that wood for the garden beds.” Cool I’m excited I’ve been wanting to get this done for awhile.

We get there and we’re picking out wood and I make 2 comments about how I don’t like how 2 pieces of wood look that he picked out. And he says if you’re going to be this picky then u can do this yourself.

I literally made 2 comments and mind you I’m the one paying for the wood.

I felt dismissed and like my opinion didn’t matter and if I wanted to have an opinion then I need to do it myself. Like what?

It was rude and not okay. Am I wrong? Am I overreacting?

He thinks it was fine that he said that.

6 month old autistism

My 6 month old makes no eye contact with me and doesn’t respond when I call him. Can this just be a phase or personality trait as apposed to autism

5.30am wakeups 😫😴

My 15 week old has started waking up about 5.30am and is really hard to settle back down - it’s like he thinks it’s time to wake up for the day. He used to go to bed at 9pm and was up at 8am but now he goes to bed between 7.30-8pm as he’s knackered by then but waking up at 5.30am😴. Any advice to get him to sleep a little longer in the morning?! Even an extra hour would be lovely 🤣
