4-6 times in 24 hours. If I'm at home with him, I still feed before sleep for naps and bed time. If I'm at work or he's with dad he's fine to be cuddled to sleep. Sometimes he sleeps through, sometimes feeds 3 times a night.

We're just going with the flow. He's about to start nursery, just started going to in-laws whilst I'm at work, and is teething his molars, so I'm not stressing about feeding or changing anything just now

3-4 feeds.
Long feed as soon as she wakes.
Mid morning
Mid afternoon
Bed time.

No feeds at night

Sometimes she doesn’t want the bedtime one or the morning.

Eats 3 meals a day loves food

5-7 feeds in 24hrs, but some are super short. Probably 3-4 longer feeds. Usually feeds 2-3x overnight. Occasionally just once, but that's rare. Sometimes it's very short ay night and just to get him back to sleep. Still feed to sleep most nights, sometimes he comes off when drowsy but still awake and does the last bit, sometimes his pretty much fully asleep. And sometimes a butt tap resettle him, sometimes he needs a boob.

Between 6 and 12 feeds in 24 hours which is a big variation but just depends how often he wakes in the night 🤷‍♀️ he’s fed to sleep pretty much every time… he can sometimes be resettled with a cuddle but I can’t get him down without the boob 😩

At least 20 times and usually more like 50+ when he’s teething and he’s constantly teething .. I have a fast letdown and oversupply so he gets enough for a top up in a minute or so for some of them but I haven’t slept for more than 45 minutes stretches since the beginning (actually before bc I couldn’t sleep during pregnancy either 😭) he’s already onto his molars so it’s baaaad it’s 2x as many feeds at night as during the day - he has also gone from 33%- to far off the growth charts (he’s the size of a 2 yr at least since 6-7m) but the number of daiper changes with all the comfort feeds is horrific. He gets so distracted during the day to eat enough and makes up for it at night - it’s horrible tbh

This morning he woke at 7.30 and fell asleep for his nap at 11.30, in that four hours he fed four times and they were all big big feeds but we did go swimming so that makes him extra hungry! I'd say we average a feed every 1.5 -2.5 hours in both the day and night! I would say if we are at a soft play or baby class he goes longer as he doesn't seem to like to feed in those situations anymore. Sometimes he feeds basically continuously through the night, just latching on and off non stop!

My little one seems to be weaning himself a bit. He has maybe 4 feeds in a day and rarely needs a night feed anymore. The change in the last month is insane, I was feeding him almost every two hours at night then! I wonder if being pregnant is impacting it but he seems happy out and just laughs at my boob now sometimes 🫣

I would say 8-10 times in 24 hours. Maybe more 😆 I don’t count.
Usually 2/3 night feeds. Never slept through the night. Mostly has milk before sleeping but not necessarily “fed” to sleep.

Can someone pls help i keep making this post and nobody is responding

My boyfriend booked a trip for us to go to mexico for a week as my push present. I have severe anxiety leaving my 7 month old with my mom. I know she will be in good hands but she’s exclusively breast fed for the most part but accepts bottles just fine. i have all my pumping parts packed and will pump when baby normally eats but i don’t want baby to forget me or have latch issues when i return!! any mommas ever experience this?

Postpartum

I’m only 3 days postpartum (FTM) and already have extremely bad anxiety. I’m crying every night, as I think of another night of no sleep. My baby will not settle in his cot, he cries every moment we put him down unless in his chair rocker. So me and my partner are having to alternate after 3/4 hours of being awake with him downstairs. I’m trying everything to get him to settle. It’s a load of overwhelming stress. I’m 23, I was desperate for a baby and now I have one and feel completely useless. I miss it just being me and my partner.

When does it get better?

I was crying on the phone with the perinatal mental health team today and the lovely lady, bless her, kept assuring me that it gets better. I kept telling her I hope so because people have been saying that since having my LO and it just feels like it keeps getting worse. She assured me it gets better....

Crawling

Did anyone’s little one start crawling yet? I feel like we are falling behind but really have no idea. I’m trying to introduce more floor time but it’s been rough because of having hardwood floors and our 80 lb oblivious to life dog. I got us a carpet for the living room and trying to put the dog out more when the weather allows. She sits like a pro and will roll to get the things she needs😅 but no real signs of crawling yet.

Silver cross pushchair

Has anybody had experience with the sliver cross cove or breeze? Me and my partner can’t make an agreement 😅 I like the cove but is it worth the extra money to the breeze?
