At this age babies wake every 2-3 hours

Some only in the day and get longer stretches at night others it’s 24/7

Milk is still the No1 food source food is just an experience atm so ignore people saying to force feed your 6 month old before bedtime this 1. Isnt good for them 2. Doesn’t work

Some babies are better sleepers than others it’s just how it is.

If u need a solid night get your partner to do every other night or / close relative to come help u out with the night shift once a week it will do you the world of good xx

Awake windows at this age are usually 2.5-3 hours.

An ideal schedule would be:

7 am wake
9:30-11 nap
1:30-2:30 nap
5-5:45 catnap
8:00 bedtime

If naps are shorter you would adjust and do earlier bedtime

Leaking overnight

Any nappy recs advice for nappy leaks at night? My 7 month old has just started consistently leaking, I’ve sized up in nappies and tried Aldi and rascals but no luck.

Has anyone had better results with pull ups? He’s just big enough now I think but I wasn’t sure if Aldi pull ups are any good?

Don’t know what to do

My 8 week old is still waking every 3 hours for milk. She strains, grunts and wriggles all night long. Its so loud that I am awake all night. I’ve tried infacol, dentinox, colief. We have changed her formula a week ago. She’s been to an osteopath (who said she was the calmest baby she’d ever seen 🙄) i’m at my wits end. I’m exhausted.

Baby slept through…

So it’s 6.35am and baby has slept through the night so obviously I have been waking every 30 mins panicking that somethings wrong and now wondering if I should wake him up. 🤣

He is EBF so my boobs are massive and leaking everywhere but yet the little prince keeps on sleeping. 😴

I really want to go back to sleep but I just know he will wake up the second I get comfy and start to drift off. 😩

Bloody kids!! 🤷🏼‍♀️🙈

Is it ok to let a newborn (2weeks) sleep if already past birth weight or wake to feed ?

No hate for having a sleepy baby please my first was an awful sleeper so I know how triggering these posts can be 😂… but

My 2 week old slept for almost 6hours last night and we woke him even though he seemed pretty tired and would have slept longer. He’s been a sleepy baby since birth but feeds a lot throughout the day and has surpassed his birth weight but my husband woke me last night to say we need to wake the baby to feed. I said I’d get up and pump and let the baby sleep but he said we shouldn’t let him go over 6 hours without a feed….

Should we wake him? Thoughts below please :)

Dry hair postpartum

Sleep stretches?!

My baby boy is 9 weeks old and we’ve had the occasional 3-4 hour stretches at night however still no full night’s sleep?! Is there something I’m doing wrong or what because it seems that around this age parents have been getting full night stretches from their little ones 🥺😩 am
I supposed to get a full night stretch already at this point?
