Pacifier as sleep association?

Anyone else’s baby constantly need the pacifier put back in at night?

My girl never needed it at night - just to fall asleep but once she spit it out it would remain out all night! Not sure if it’s the regression but I think I’ve put it back in 10 times Last night and I’m tired 🥲

Is this a phase cause of the sleep regression or is it here to stay? Any way to kick the habit!

My baby never liked the pacifier when she was newborn, she used it but as she grew more, she’s right now four months I kind of don’t really use pacifier anymore so she doesn’t really take it anymore

Yes! If my LO wakes in the night the pacifier can help him get back to sleep. I am worried about what that looks like once he’s in his own room, but for now I’ll take the ‘easy’ transition back to sleep 🙌

Yeahh during the sleep regression I remember waking up like every hour from 4am to 8am just to put the pacifier back in ...now we are out of the sleep regression and it's just back to once in the middle of the night and that's it

wow that sounds exactly like
My daughter! She’ll sleep without it up until 3/4 and then it’s non stop putting it back in from there until she wakes from her night sleep 😭! When did your LO go through the sleep regression as mines just turned 4 months and she’s already started! And how long did it last for you??

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? 🥲

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

Baby with chronic congestion

Hi everyone! My 1 year has been a congested baby since birth almost. She breathes through her mouth so often that it wakes her up multiple times at night and she cries and screams and then struggles to go back to sleep. She wakes up every 1-3 hours and sometimes can’t go back to sleep for 2-3 hours!!! Piriton is the only thing that seems to help her sleep mostly through the night but I can’t keep giving her that!!
Does anyone have tips as to have I can do or give her? Has anyone experienced? I have no idea when I’ll get an ENT appointment and I have no idea what he can give a 13 mo :( we are desperate for sleep so any tips are welcome!! We have tried steam inhalation, saline drops, vapour rubs and everything off the counter basically!

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?
