Cosleeping/Bedsharing Mamas

My partner and I have been cosleeping with our baby for months. I BF at night, and little man has been waking up 5+ a night to EAT. Mind, he eats his meals during the day. Wondering if there’s a 12mo growth spurt I missed reading about or a phase?? I was getting used to night feeding 2-3x/night but these 5-6x/night the last few days have been brutal! Hoping this passes soon!

I can’t really speak to this because we put baby in nursery and sleep trained at 8 weeks -baby has Been sleeping through the night 7-7 since 10 weeks and that has never changed.

I know everyone has their own ideas on this.. but baby should be able to sleep 12 hours through the night because they got all their calories during the day- how much is baby eating during the day and do you have him on any solids?

Again I respect everyone’s ideas, but your health and getting sleep is just as important for you and for baby as well..

My son still breastfeeds as well. AND gets plenty of solids during the day. It's a comfort thing I'm sure. He got to 22lbs at 6ish months and my pediatrician recommended moving him to his own room and just letting him cry for 3 nights. The fucking horror. No ma'am. We co-sleep. With our 3 year old as well. So it's all 4 of us on a Texas size bed. Which is huge. We even have two extra rooms so it's not about space. Do I get great sleep? No. But they both sleep 12 hours. He wakes up to nurse here and there but once latched, I fall back asleep. We're all happy and comfortable. So you're doing GREAT! One day he'll sleep through the night, in his own room till noon. For now just soak in the cuddles and chaos ♥️ If it's hard, you're doing it right 👏🏽

Leaky nappy help

What nappies are you using to stop leaks?? We use pampers ultra dry size 5, and for the past few nights he has lashed through and we’ve had to completely change him during the night. Last night he leashed through twice!! He sleeps on his front and stays leaks through at the top of his leg where the tabs connect. Didn’t know whether to size up, he has a bit of a belly on him but he’s smack in middle of weight guidance so shouldn’t need too

My 6 month old makes no eye contact with me and doesn’t respond when I call him. Can this just be a phase or personality trait as apposed to autism

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?

New born

Finally had my baby girl via C-section on the 18th, everything has been so far. But I’ve noticed she’s very fussy and cries a lot. I’ve been trying to exclusively breastfeed. The lactation consultant at the hospital said I did look like I’m making enough milk for her. She was latching on good at the hospital and now here at home, she doesn’t seem to want to latch at all. She’s been crying a lot and very fussy. I’m just wondering is she’s colic or like maybe she just doesn’t want the breast anymore?

5.30am wakeups 😫😴

My 15 week old has started waking up about 5.30am and is really hard to settle back down - it’s like he thinks it’s time to wake up for the day. He used to go to bed at 9pm and was up at 8am but now he goes to bed between 7.30-8pm as he’s knackered by then but waking up at 5.30am😴. Any advice to get him to sleep a little longer in the morning?! Even an extra hour would be lovely 🤣
