How’s everyone’s babies sleeping?

My little one is 19 weeks, she used to sleep through when we would put her to bed at around 10pm, she would sleep through until 6-7 am.
Now she gets so tired around 8 pm so we moved her bedtime here, but coming with this is 1-2 night feeds and she’ll be wide awake at 6 am, which I know is still amazing but I am currently as sick as a dog so hasn’t been the best for my flu 🤣.
I’m unsure whether this is the regression though as her naps are very scattered throughout the day with the max nap being 30 minutes through contact only.
Does this sound like the regression? When did your little one start sleeping through again if they ever did? Thanks in advance 🤗❤️

Doesnt sound like a regression (some babies arent affected by a regression), just sounds like her sleep needs are changing which will happen multiple times in the first few years!

My baby is sleeping waaaaay better than his older brother did, only up 2 or 3 times a night compared to his brothers 5-8 times a night 🥴😆

The 30-45 min naps are the length of one sleep cycle and they cannot always link sleep cycles yet at this age but starts to happen more around 5+ months. They can become quite difficult to get down for a nap too at this age which is the regression but the change in bedtime I think is just her needs changing.
My daughter is also 19 weeks, she goes to bed between 6.30-7.30 depending on last nap, we then dream feed her between 10-11 when we go to bed and she will wake for a feed between 3-5. If I didn’t do the dream feed she would want feeding at like midnight and 4am, no thank you 😂

That's sounds exactly like my LB. He was sleeping through since he was 3 weeks old, falling asleep around 11pm and waking up 7-8am. Now he goes sleep between 8-9pm, wakes up 1 or 2 times for a quick feed and then is wide awake from 6am. He's 4.5 months old and have been doing this for about 5 weeks. Also his days naps are about 30 mins. As Shona above said I'm pretty sure their sleep cycles are changing so it pretty normal. From what I understand they will be sleeping longer over night and less during the day more and more.

My little boy is the exact same, I’m glad other people are going through this as he was always such an amazing sleeper from day 1, but for the past 2 weeks he’s going to bed around 7-8pm, awakes at midnight, then 2.30 then 4 and then wide awake at 6.30am 🫠🫠 I’m hoping this changes soon cause I’m more tired than I was when he was a newborn 😂

My 16 weeks old baby was always a good sleeper.

From week 1 to 8 he would wake up twice at night - last feed would be at 11pm though.

He then slept from 10pm until 6am , ate and was waking up at 9am since week 8 to 12.
Then suddenly felt like 9-10pm was too late so I had to change to earlier bedtime slowly moving to now 8:30pm the latest. He will then wake up once at night either 2,3,4 or 5am 🤷‍♀️ most of the time will be 5am though. He eats and I put him back to sleep and he wakes up either 6:30am or 7am ready for the day.

My LG is 4.5 months now and just starting to show slightly longer naps, nowhere near all the time but here and there so I’m hoping her sleep cycles are linking up a bit!

She’s always had night feeds but at the moment she goes to bed about 7.30/8 then wakes at around 2-3am for a feed the usually 6-7am , this has changed though because she used to wake up religiously nearer to 2 am and 5am for feeds so the 5am is definitely stretching out now and the 2am is starting to.

She also has a dream feed when we go to bed 10.30 ish

I have found this last couple of days if we can stretch her last wake window out to 2 / 2.5 hours then she sleeps better!

Do men really enjoy fellatio?

Been together more than 10 years, but it's been a while since he even seemed remotely interested in me getting on my knees, or vice versa so to speak. I think it was once last year. Must be something I am doing wrong 🤔. Generally everything else in that department is great and we have two young kids with no extra support, so it's quite surprising we can't keep our hands off each other but may need to try new things. It's basically 2 positions each time with some foreplay.

I think Motherhood has made me more bitter than I realized…

This is such a ramble but I don’t know where else to put it all.

I’m four months in and I don’t really have hobbies right now. I don’t do anything for myself except maybe doomscrolling or listening to a podcast while I breastfeed my baby. I used to craft and have game nights with friends. Activities that usually are at least 2 hour stretches. Now if I have an hour free my mind immediately goes to baby, or doing something in the house for baby.

And I thought I didn’t mind. Like I knew postpartum could be very mentally consuming. But I think it’s altering how I view people around me and it’s prodding at my relationship with my husband.

He spends most of his time making food for us, looking after our dogs, playing with the baby, ect. But he still has time for his hobby. Spends maybe an hour a night on it. Even adapted to using a bot for shopping for his hobby after a certain incident where we had to have a heart to heart after he left me home alone with the baby for hours during a busy workday (I work from home) to shop for his hobby.

And yet there’s like this little green eyed monster in me that rages every time I know he’s running off to start up the bot. Even though I’m the reason he does it this way.

We took a family trip last weekend to see his best friend and their kids and let them meet the baby. He brought the laptop. He’s always brought a laptop on trips and it’s never been a problem to me before. But one night we both woke up while the baby was still asleep, and he wandered out of the room. I tried to fall back asleep but couldn’t. So I went to the kitchen to try having something warm to drink to settle me. And he was there at the table running the bot from his laptop. I flipped out at him. But there really wasn’t reason to. It’s not like I needed help with the baby and he was ignoring me. He wasn’t avoiding our friends. He was just awake and unable to sleep and found something to do with his time. Yet my snap reaction was “why the hell would you do this on a family trip?”

I don’t know what it is. Maybe it’s the less complete sleep from baby’s middle of the night feed? My brain being just consumed by baby? Maybe I’m not as over that shopping incident as I thought? But I’m just so annoyed at his hobby right now. The green eyed monster thinks “you could be using that time differently” but realistically to do what exactly??? Stare at our baby in the dark???

I spent probably an hour apologizing to him after I snapped. And he’s of course hurt and frustrated because I said some very mean things in the moment.

I don’t want to be this jealous, angry person. But I also don’t know how to find time for myself in this right now outside of basic hygiene. It’s like I’ve forgotten how to be myself, even if just for an hour.

Maybe I need a therapist.
