Sleepover

So my daughter is staying over at my mum and dad’s tomorrow for the first time in 3 years as she is slightly better with her sleeping and makes it easier with work.
I’m so nervous!

I’m worried she won’t settle she is normally amazing with them so well behaved but I’m worried nighttime will be a different matter and she will cry for me!
I’m taking her pillow from her bed down, is there anything else I can do to help her?

I think night times are definitely different as the way routine goes. But it might go okay.. just let your parents know that at any sign of distress, etc, they should contact you, but knowing that, kids can sense it all.
My parents watched my 2 last year for me and my partner. Our eldest probably would have went to sleep fine caz she's more used to it but both were wide awake up until we were on our way back. Then were sound asleep but also my youngest sometimes wakes up at night so I was more worried about that. If everything is fine otherwise, it should be okay

they normally stick to our routine when they have her, she still wakes up at night I think that’s when it’s going to hit her 🤦🏼‍♀️ I’ve told them to phone if she is in distress and they can’t settle her and I’ll go down to get her.
This is the first time she will be staying over so hopefully everything goes fine because she is completely comfortable with them

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. 🥺

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? 🥲

Self settling

Any tips or advice of how to teach 6.5month old to self settle? I’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 🥰

Baby losing weight

Hi all, it's been a long time since I had a baby (my son is 15!). My daughter is 10 days old and was 9lb born, she has since lost weight at every appointment and is at a 12% loss. I am breast feeding every two hours for over an hour and topping her up every feed. I pump and can get 60ml in 10 minutes so I know my supply is okay. Anyone had this before? Can give me some tips? I currently feel like I'm letting my baby down.

Breastfeeding

Does it ever feel better? The actual feeding part of it is going really well and baby boy is growing so well. I’m struggling with how my boobs feel day to day - it’s really getting me down most days. The let downs make me feel awful and sounds silly but, I am also really missing not wearing a bra! 9 weeks postpartum and still getting fairly engorged, even with comfort pumping.

Any advice or just shared stories would help. I’m so torn between carrying on because I enjoy the feeding side of it or switching to formula.
