Waking up in the middle of the night
Is anyone else’s baby waking up in the middle of the night and staying up for like two hours until they go to sleep again? My baby has been waking up like a 3-4 am for the past couple nights and won’t go back to sleep until like 5-6 am, I’m exhausted. I’m thinking maybe she has been napping too much so I cut her daytime naps from 4 hours to 2 but she’s still waking up for no reason 😭😭😭🫠

My son wakes up 4-5 times a night and eats for like 5-20 minutes, sometimes he just wakes up so I can hold him and put him back to bed. He doesn’t nap that much I don’t know what’s going on.
My bby is doing this too because he like babies his age struggle to put themselves back to sleep after a sleep cycle! It’s important that if you have fed him, diaper doesn’t have poop in it that baby gets laid back down, mobile gets turned on and you let the bby learn how to soothe themselves back into sleep! I don’t believe in the cry it out method at all. So if bby is crying then I’ll rock mine but every mom is different so no Shame!
Nap times during the day for my bby are between 2-3 hours too though and will take 2 naps per day then a little 20 minute cat nap before 5pm (bedtime is at 7pm)

Fucked off
I don’t feel like I’m a good mum, I cannot stand my child clinging onto me/screaming I literally want to smack my head against a wall every time she makes that screeching noise I am seriously exhausted and I have no help whatsoever.

Is it ok to let a newborn (2weeks) sleep if already past birth weight or wake to feed ?
No hate for having a sleepy baby please my first was an awful sleeper so I know how triggering these posts can be 😂… but
My 2 week old slept for almost 6hours last night and we woke him even though he seemed pretty tired and would have slept longer. He’s been a sleepy baby since birth but feeds a lot throughout the day and has surpassed his birth weight but my husband woke me last night to say we need to wake the baby to feed. I said I’d get up and pump and let the baby sleep but he said we shouldn’t let him go over 6 hours without a feed….
Should we wake him? Thoughts below please :)

Help…Normal tantrum or something more?
My daughter is having the worst meltdowns recently. I’m talking to the point where people are starting to stop outside my house and looking in with concern. The anxiety and humiliation leaving the house sometimes is exhausting. Kicking and screaming at the top of her voice in public and having everyone in the street looking at me, is a different kind of embarrassment and guilt. I’ve had a few conversations recently with various people about seeing someone professional about mt daughter’s behaviour. She’s also started using noises and moans to gesture what she wants, coming from an incredibly smart 3 year old who has been speaking full sentences since she was two. We have regressed in verbal communication, and the meltdowns are getting so horrifically bad. She also tugs at her clothes when distressed or pulls on her fingers. There is absolutely ZERO reasoning with her when she is like this, it’s just constant screaming. I’m a first time mum and just at a complete loss.

Breast feeding
I’m expecting in a few months time and want to breast feed (breast and bottle feed). What bottles do you recommend? I formula fed my first daughter and used Dr brown bottles (hated Tommee Tippee and MAM due to tongue tie issues). Is Philips Avent good or Lansinoh? Thank you ☺️
