Bedtime
How are you handling bedtime with your December babies? We’ve done a little routine of bath/bottle/bed since our daughter was a few weeks old and it seemed to be going ok, HOWEVER, the last week has been chaos. She used to go down quite quickly with her dummy, but it’s now taking us about 2 hours from start to finish to get her to sleep. She will often fuss on the bottle then will scream blue murder when we dare to put her in her Moses basket. I’m trying to avoid feeding her to sleep so it’s not completely down to me to do bedtime (I have a toddler too) so have been rocking her instead but 80% of the time she wakes up when I put her down then the cycle starts again! She’s also started spitting the dummy out the drying did it immediately.
Anyone else in the same boat?

We are having similar, my boy is 12 weeks this week and he's also my second, I did feed and then transfer and he'd get himself to sleep now he will for 5 or even 20-30 mins and wake up again 🤦🏼♀️ I refuse to rock or pat or do too much tbh because I got really badly stung with my first and we had some dreadful times during the regression so now I sit next to him and comfort him, if he screams then I'll get him out and comfort and put back but luckily if I stay in the room then he's happy to go off but it does take some time and I see he'll close his eyes and then shoot them open again like he's fighting it, he does the same in the day time but as we know only too well it's all a phase and aslong as we stay consistent it'll pass 🤞🏼🥰

Won’t take bottles
I’ve returned to work and my breast fed baby girl will NOT take to any bottle. I have tried so many. Any suggestions?

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. 🙏

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 🙈

Sleeps all day
Anyone else’s baby sleep all day and then have mega long wake windows like 5pm onwards?🤣
She’s one month old and I swear she stays awake no longer than 20ish minutes in the day wake windows but as soon as 4/5pm hits she’s awake for hours with small naps in-between! Then from midnight onwards she goes back to sleeping loads😴

Bedtime
When should I start getting my little one into a bed routine? He’s 2 months old and will go to bed with me.. normally I don’t go to bed until 10pm due to having other kids and cleaning up etc.. but is it a good idea to be getting him into his own routine and setting up a monitor in his cot or is it too early for him?
