My little one is 3 months and has started doing longer stretches at night. But still usually he gets me up before my alarm in the morning. 🤪 He goes down around 9:00-9:30PM & wakes up around 4:30/4:40AM. So after I feed him he will go back to sleep while I get ready for work. Then we load up and out the door around 6:00AM to drop off to my parents.

my LB will be 3m on the 27th i started back to work a month ago and he goes to sleep at 8-9p and stays asleep until 6-7 so i will have a bottle and diaper change ready for his dad to take him for the day. and i get off at 8 so its right back into that nightmare routine as soon as im home

My little one is 3 months and his longest stretch of sleep is 5 hrs. We typically get a 4-5hr stretch from 11p to 3-4 am and then another one until 5-7. I wake up at 6am and will get ready for my day early ahead of his 7am feed when he’s on track.

Right now he’s congested so he’s up between 5 and 6 and I need to adjust lol.

I’m always out the door for daycare drop off at 8:20. A 6am wake up for me gives me time to pump and get ready for the day before getting him ready.

Also on daycare days sometimes he might sleep from 7pm until 3 am depending on how napping went in the loud environment. That’s not ideal for my husband and I but currently what has happened in the last two weeks.

I work from home, with both my 4 year old and 3 month old going to daycare. And my husband leaves before they’re up, so I fly solo 😅
I make sure to prep as much as I can the night before. Aka my son’s snacks and lunch for school and my baby’s bottles.
But I wake up at 4:45 and start work. I wake my baby up at 6am and feed her while still working. Once’s she’s done, I wake my son up at 6:30. That’s the hardest part of the morning 😂😂
I brush his teeth and hair, then give him breakfast while I change sister into her outfit.
Then I let baby take a small cat nap from 7-7;30 while my son eats. I’ll pack up the bags and put in my car and leave my house at 7:35.
It’s a constant moving thing and once I’m home from drop off, it’s such an adrenaline crash 😅
Luckily my baby sleeps through the night for the most part, if she wakes, it’s around 5-5:30 and I just try to soothe with a paci the best I can

My little one is 3 months and is sleeping almost the entire night. We both wake up at 7 am to breastfeed, but she is sleeping better. My three year old goes to developmental preschool in the mornings. I take him to school. I pick him up then hang out with the kdis until I go to work. I work nights, so I usually am gone for a majority of the time she is sleeping. But we still get a feed in before we go to bed.

Help! First time mum -

I have a 4 month old and now all of a sudden when he’s been asleep for 1hr30/2hrs he will wake up screaming (high pitched) I’ve tried winding him sometimes that helps, I’ve tried bicycle legs & bringing his knees up but that doesn’t seem to help but he brings his knees up himself sometimes but nothing happens. I’ve noticed since the 4 month mark he has started to struggle passing wind downwards! Any tips?

Bath Time

Help! My baby is 3 and a half weeks old. Every bath she goes in quite happy but will only stay like this for a very few mins, if I try to clean her or move her we have tears and after a few mins the same. It's like she is scared. Our current baby bath is quite big should I try a different one? Looking for any suggestions as want her to enjoy bath time not be upset and I'm scared I'm going to make her hate it😢💗

Crying during feeding

Hey mams! My girl is 6 weeks on Monday and is having so much trouble with feeding. It doesn’t happen every feed but more often than not she will start a bottle and just start crying as if she’s in pain and she can’t take the milk. I think it’s trapped wind but I genuinely don’t know what to do it’s so pitiful to see her not be able to feed! She’s formula fed and on HiPP Organic.
Anyone else been in this position? I’m pretty sure it’s just a bit of trapped wind that she needs to fart out but can’t! If anyone has any advice I’d be very grateful as I think I may need to tape my eyelids open soon 😂
