Sleep and naps

Does anyone else struggle with their LO’s bedtime and naps?

My 19 week old is more than ready for bed at 6pm so we put her down at this time but she wakes up every hour until 9, when she will have her last feed. She then sometimes go down for 3/4 hours (hasn’t done this in 6 weeks due to regression) or like last night only 40 minutes 🫠 and with naps she cat naps all day but will only ever contact nap, as soon as I try and put her down in her crib she wakes up.

I feel like I struggle with every aspect of her sleep, I don’t know if because her daytime naps are bad that’s why she sleeps badly at night. Or if it’s the regression that’s been going on for 6 week. I just don’t know. I try to follow cues rather than have a routine but I don’t even know if I’m doing that right tbh.

….contact naps all day as soon as he is put down wakes up and being moody and the naps last 30 minutes or less.
He naps during the day like 4 hours all together on good days but at night he sleeps ok for now he moves around when he wants the boob but he is still asleep so i just dream feed.
They do go through a lot of changes ( wonder weeks app is telling you everything )

Having the same problem. He doesn't sleep too badly at night (we put him down to sleep around 9 or 10pm as he's wide awake before then) he'll sleep for around 4- 5 hours then be up every hour or two until morning.

Daytime is a nightmare, won't nap unless you are holding him but he is very heavy and overheats very quickly so I try and put him in his bassinet only for him to immediately wake up and scream the house down until he's held again. I think he might be starting to teethe though which would explain a lot

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.

Did I overreact?

I have had 3 c sections, recently had a wisdom teeth removal (4) to be exact and all my mom did was visit the day BEFORE and then she only sent 1 text. She has NEVER spent one full day with me and doesn’t acknowledge my achievements much. She just isn’t there when I need her to be. She claims she’s always working but she lives like 7 minutes away! she can come help with the kids so my husband can have break? we don’t ask her for much and she only sees the kids 1-2 a month. She also didn’t visit with my last c section. I told her that she should’ve gotten the abortion when she had the chance with me because why would you have me and neglect me emotionally? To not actually give me a present father in my life. I am very angry all she does is disappoint me. She only wants to show up for certain people in the family and I just want to grab her and shake her and ask her why can’t she be a good present mother?
