Sleep troubles/co sleeping
Anyone else have any advice or in the same boat? My lil one had a few rough months sleeping and to save my sanity I co slept. As a newborn she was only in her crib but we co slept from 5-8 months. I’ve spent the last 3 and a half ish months trying to get her to sleep a full night in the cot but she just will not. I’ll put her in bed she’ll wake a good 4/5 times a night in her cot where I’ll have to go settle her and she’ll go back to sleep. But once it gets past midnight she’ll have a final wake and refuses to go back to sleep in the cot. I’ve tried to leave her and see if she’ll settle herself back down but after 10 mins she’s hysterical. Only way she’ll go back to sleep is in my bed. Even when I get her back to sleep and try put her back in the cot she’ll wake up and immediately stand begging for me to pick her up. I don’t know what to do I can’t keep co sleeping I’m getting no sleep with her beside me and I’m getting even less sleep trying to get her to sleep in her cot a full night 🥲.

We defo went through this and it was HARD so I completely get you I defo think this is a phase and you just have to stick to your guns and keep doing what your doing, is she old enough to hold her own bottle? If she is we used to put our boy into his cot and give him a warm bottle put blanket next to him and dummy and let him fall asleep with the milk and he used it just fall asleep himself, when he woke up and wouldn’t go back to sleep I would have to rock him and he would cry but I just ignored it as I was holding him he was just so over tried but eventually he would fall back asleep and I’d put him back in his cot and we had to do this for at least 2 weeks and then he Kinda understood this is bed time and this is where I sleep and now he’s gos to bed 6:30 and sleeps till 8:30 without a doubt x

Mounjaro
Is mounjaro allowed to be taken whilst breastfeeding? I’m not on it yet, but considering it as it’s the only thing that helps me lose some weight due to my health conditions.

Tired 10 weeks postpartum mum needing reassurance from formula-feeding mums 🙏
Hi mums, I’m 10 weeks postpartum and feeling so burnt out. My baby doesn't latch, so I’ve been pumping and mixed feeding. Pumping is exhausting me, and I’m really thinking about quitting.
Because I work in healthcare, the guilt is hitting me hard and I keep overthinking the benefits of breast milk. But my mental and physical health are slipping.
Would love to hear from moms whose babies are 100% formula-fed. Please tell me your formula babies are thriving and that you got your sanity back! Need some reassurance today. 🙏

Struggling with feeding
My little girl is 7.5 weeks and we are struggling with feeding. When she takes the bottle, halfway into a feed she will be hysterically crying and want to continue to eat but keeps pulling off. This happens with the boob but not as much as only feeding boob mainly at night with a few day feeds. She will take the bottle if she’s either tired or distracted. Has anyone experienced this please? It started around 1.5 weeks ago and we are mainly doing pumped breast milk. Hoping this is just a phase 😩

Baby not burping - consequences?
My little one is 5 weeks old and does not wind!! No matter what I do. I try for like 15 minutes and he doesn’t bring anything up, I tend to keep him lying on me after feeding if I can’t wind him and he’s normally ok. There’s been the odd occasion he’s spat up when I’ve led him down but it’s very rare. What is the consequences if he is not burped? It’s stressing me out because surely he has something to bring up and don’t want him being uncomfortable 🙈
