Babies sleep

My little boy (7m) is usually a pretty good sleeper. His bedtime is anytime from 7:30-8:30 depending on his last nap and will then usually sleep until 2am or sometimes a little later for a bottle and then go back down until 6/7. But for the last 4ish nights he has been waking up anytime between 10-midnight and I can’t figure out why. Sometimes it’s as simple as popping his dummy back in and other times he’s cries and cries and will only settle with a cuddle or sometimes it’s only a bottle that settles him. I noticed tonight that the boiler clicked before he woke up. Could it be that that’s waking him? But why would that suddenly be bothering him now?? Someone help 😩

What’s your routine? Wake up nap time etc. do you have white noise in the bedroom - find it blocks out any background noise x

He could be coming into the regression, my 7 month had been exactly the same

he normally wakes around 7ish, but because of his nighttime bottle his daytime bottles can be a bit all over the place in terms of when he wants them.
But as for naps, he has a nap around 9/10 and then normally a nap around 3ish and sometimes I’ll let him have a little cat nap around 5 if that 3pm nap wasn’t very long. So that’s why bedtime varies too a little. But it averages around 8pm he goes to bed.
As for bedtime routine, it’s bath bottle bed. Red light on, noise machine on and he drifts off perfectly. But it’s just the waking during the night. I tried putting him to bed earlier last night and that didn’t seem to do much as he woke at 10 and didn’t go back down until 11:30ish. So maybe it was a false start? Maybe he needs a later bedtime?
yeah I did wonder if it was a regression. He’s also very close to crawling and has also started pulling himself up on things to his feet so I did wonder if it’s just him learning new things. I just hope it evens out

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.

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?

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?

Strange question

Hello. I would identify myself as asexual but yes i am married and i have a child. But now that ive had my baby. I think its solidified that im done having sex. I feel bad as my partner keeps asking me but i just dont want to. Any advice on what i can do? Any other asexual moms out there? I guess this could be confusing but im not huge on being bound by a label. I have just always felt it represented me best since highschool.
