Some nights it’s ok to take a break and just sleep or it becomes too much of a mental load.

Do a powerful pump in the morning to catch up. I slept last night and feel great, ready to be a cow again to the day lol

I did my 3 am pump till 15 months. By the end I was like what am I doing! Nope! But my daughter can now latch so now instead of getting up to pump im woken up by my top being thrown up and her latching 🤦‍♀️🫣

Put some music on. Or a show, podcast anything. To take away from the fact that you are pumping and can distract you.

If the baby is asleep, my 2am pump is computer games time. So precious to have free time alone that I aaaaalmost look forward to it. Not quite, but almost.

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.
