9 week old day time sleep

Is anyone else’s little one hardly sleeping during the day? My baby had a grand total of 2.5 hours all day yesterday in scraps of half an hour throughout the day. Is this normal 😂 I can’t remember the last time she slept for longer than 45 mins.

These are also contact naps where I’m constantly soothing her to keep her asleep. I’ve tried dark room white noise etc but her eyes ping open after 30 mins.

We went through this phase and started offering him a dummy for daytime naps only and it seems to have helped - it’s like he knows when he has his dummy it’s time to sleep x

From 3pm to 9pm my 8w boy is fully active! So it's either cry or me picking him up! 😅 😅
Luckily he sleeps all night and all morning 😎

yeah same here. think it’s a developmental thing! carrier or pram we get some good sleep and he just started falling asleep in the rocker but i know this isn’t safe for him to do. we try a dummy. he’s not a massive fan but he will take it occasionally if we persist (he’d rather me) but yeah i think(?) they grow out of it….

When do things get easier?

As we entered the 9-12 month stage, my son started crawling and pulling himself up. He also became more clingy and does not play alone, still doesnt sleep through the night, and this week has been sick (so EVERYTHING amplified). I am tired and overwhelmed. Please lie and tell me things get better. 🥺

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.
