Waking baby up for their last feed?

Hi guys. So my baby was due in October but born in September, he is now 6 months old. It's nearly 11:45 and hes still asleep, I'm not sure whether to wake him for his night feed or let him sleep? He does usually wake himself up but think he may be getting full? Any help is appreciated 😊

My baby sleeps for 10 hour straight some nights and he is 5 months old. He’s healthy and growing well! I think your baby will be okay (if there’s no health conditions I guess)! He was born at 38 weeks and was a small baby

Let him sleep, unless there is a weight concern.

My baby was due November born October 36+5 and I let him sleep until he wakes and is ready for a feed

My 5month old born at 38weeks has slept through the night since around 3 1/2 months he’s gaining weight just fine as he makes up for what he’s missed during in the night throughout the day. I think if they don’t wake up let them sleep. If it help you can talk to your hv as based on the weight of baby they can tell you how many oz they need in a 24 hour period and if they are taking that during in the day then letting them sleep through the night is fine hope this helps x

Would this bug you?

My partner does his own washing (great!) and I do mine and our toddler’s.

Sometimes I put toddler’s clothes straight in the washing machine if they are ditched, with a view that I’ll do a load later.

But this morning, my partner needed to do a load of washing and instead of washing our toddler’s clothes with his (toddler had a vest, jumper, and a top), my partner took our toddler’s clothes out, put them on the side, so he could wash his own clothes???

Why not just chuck our toddler’s clothes in with his?

This has happened twice now and he’s never washed our toddlers clothes

Flu jab feeling horrendous

When did your period return postpartum? Especially if you were breastfeeding

My period still hasn’t returned an my baby turned one last month! I kinda thought it would have returned by now.. a couple weeks ago I got symptoms that had me thinking I may be ovulating but still no period. Even took a pregnancy test today just to make sure. Anyways, if you did get yours was it after you cut down on breastfeeding sessions or eliminated overnight feeds? My baby has only ever fed at breast never taken a bottle but he took right to solids at 6 months and now eats lots. He maybe breast feeds once or twice throughout the day but still wakes overnight a few times and I nurse him back to sleep.

Going toilet

Any advice/tips on weeing after birth? I had my baby girl yesterday and I’ve got a second degree tear, very close to third degree. I’m in so much pain with going to the toilet. I’ve got a peri bottle and spritz for bits for after but has anyone got any other recommendations that helps the stinging? I’m drinking lots of water to make sure my urine isn’t concentrated too
