I find huckleberry really useful for sleep monitoring, it helps me keep on track of his day and wake windows and be more aware of his sleepy cues - my LB ends up with a red monobrow when heโ€™s sleepy ๐Ÿ˜‚

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. ๐Ÿฅบ

Colostrum storing?

Has anyone successfully extracted colostrum before the babyโ€™s born? Apparently it gets produced from 16w pregnant and you can start storing it in the freezer but Iโ€™m 34w looking at my nipples and the syringes on amazon wondering how it works?? Like what did you use and did it hurt? ๐Ÿฅฒ

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?

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. Sheโ€™s 7 weeks and takes a bottle well, how long should I leave it before adding another bottle to her daily routine?

Self settling

Any tips or advice of how to teach 6.5month old to self settle? Iโ€™m up multiple times in the night to cuddle her back to sleep and put the dummy in. I understand she will wake up and want a cuddle etc but any tips on self settling would be appreciated ๐Ÿฅฐ
