My daughter goes to bed at 8pm with a bottle, wakes between 12am and 2am it's very sporadic and then 4am and then 8am.

Every child is different some babies sleep through others don't. My son has slept through the night since he was 7 weeks old he's 3 years old on the 30th.

It’s tough, each baby is different! Formula? How many meals is he eating?

Milk is their main source of calories until 1 , every baby is different some sleep through some still need a feed through the night :) also many factors such as how many oz are they having through the day, meals etc.

My son has a bottle before bed and will sleep through mostly or need a feed around 4am!

Yes, we still give bottle for sleep. It's a nice comfort 😊 and your little one isn't even 1 yet! Let him drink 😊

Until 12/18m babies should be fed on demand before and overnight. Reducing feeds isn’t something recommended until much older x

Night feeds are absolutely still normal at this age please don't worry! Unless he's having more milk at night than in the day, just feed when he's hungry 😊

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😢💗

Big nursing bras!

I’m looking for recommendations for good nursing bras for bigger breasted ladies!

I’m currently in a 38H which seems to be the biggest size done at M&S (UK based mama here) and it’s snug and not as supportive as I’d like. When I look online, they mainly seem to be sized S, M, L, XL etc rather than bra sizes.

Any recommendations please?

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 😂
