BF babies and sleep

Out of curiosity guys, how long are your breastfed babies sleeping for at night? We're still on 2-3 hours here!

I may get some hate for this but my little one who is 11 weeks old and is exclusively breastfed sleeps through the night but I purely think this is due to her being a terrible day time napper that she is shattered that she sleeps through. I’m fully expecting it all to change when the 4 month sleep regression hits.

My baby is 10 weeks he has been fighting day naps last few days he will still wake up at least twice during the night to feed, last night he feel asleep at 19:40 and woke up at 12:30am to feed and then again at 4am.
Woke up for the day at 6am.
I BF and also try and pump when he’s asleep

My boy is 8 weeks old and still wakes up every 2-3 hours in the night for a feed as well. It's exhausting 😫 I'm really hoping he sleeps longer stretches soon as I'm finding it hard to cope energy wise during the day

She started doing 6hr (sometimes 7) for the first night stretch, then 3-4 hrs. This was after week 10

We get a 5- 6 hour stretch at the start of the night but then it’s hourly after that. She hardly naps during the day though 🫠

Does anyone struggle with reflux or gas in th second part of the night? We seem to get a goodish first stint (around 3.5-5.5 hours) and then the rest of the night our LO seems to be super uncomfortable and cry when we put him down. End up tag teaming holding him up to sleep which is exhausting!! Any tips welcome!

8 week old here, usually first stretch is 5-6 hours from 9/10pm to 3 ish then about 2-3 hours after that. She’s not a great napper during the day though, usually an hour or so at a time.
We recently transitioned to a sleeping bag though as she kept living the blanket off and waking herself up, I feel like this was a game changer although she was a decent sleeper at night before xx

10 week old and past 2 nights is the first time I’ve had a 4 hour stretch then every 2/3 hours after that! It’s probably a fluke😅

My 9 week old gave me my first 7 hour stretch last night and has slept 4-6 hours the last couple of nights; however, it seems he's finally just learning the difference between night and day because hes been cluster feeding all day instead and having longer wake periods.

Standing???

Anyone else’s 7 month old standing up and trying to take steps??? My son can fully stand without support and is now trying to take steps. I feel like it’s too early?…

Excuse the mess, I’m doing a late night deep clean and he’s doing the opposite of helping 😂

Sleep

Does anyone else miss just getting in bed and sleeping straight through until morning no waking up to feed or to pump or cus the baby made a weird noise

How much does your baby eat

Hello,

How much does your baby eat?

My boy is 4 months (17 + 5 weeks) and he weights 7kg (born 3.5kg)
Sometimes I have feeling he is eating too much…
From yesterday I had to start giving him more food as he started crying after food and asking for more. (100% formula)
He eats around 1.3L in 24 hours (6 feeds with 5 being during the day and 1 overnight) . On internet it says baby can eat 150-200ml per 1kg body weight so in theory my baby can eat max 1.4L so it would tell me he is not eating too much… just on higher end.
Then on internet it says baby shouldn’t eat more than 32oz (900ml) in 24 hours. So I’m a bit confused…

Cheap Car Seat

Hi all,

I need a cheap car seat for my mums car just for when she looks after my daughter incase she needs to pop out.

I ain’t particularly concerned over safety because it’s literally for emergencies only, as she plans everything around childcare - but I need something just incase she needs to go out.

Ideally looking for something under £80 - my daughters nearly 2 x

Not sleeping (i need help!)

I’m desperate! My 7 month old has been a terrible sleeper for a while but seems to be getting worse, he’s sleeping every 2/3hours throughout the night then taking over an hour to get back to sleep and I’ve tried everything to help him sleep longer throughout the night, I’ve extended his wake windows, offered him extra ounces of formula before sleep, we have a white noise machine, I’ve tried patting him, rocking him and even tried to techniques to help him self sooth and I even try co sleeping and nothing seems to be working that helps him sleep longer😩 And I’m starting to really struggle mental health wise as I’m not sleeping due to the constant wake ups! I need help I’m desperate 😩

Sleep struggle 5 month old

Hi, my baby is 5 months old and I’m really struggling with his sleep.
I understand that waking for feeds is normal, but he wakes up almost every hour. He usually goes to sleep around 8:00–9:00 pm and gives one longer stretch of about 2 hours. After that, the wake-ups become very frequent. For example, if he wakes around 1:00 am, he then starts waking every 1 to 1.5 hours.
Most of the time, he doesn’t even feed properly he just keeps the nipple in his mouth for comfort and falls back asleep.
I’m feeling extremely exhausted and sleep deprived. He is exclusively breastfed and does not accept a bottle at all.
I’m not sure how to manage this situation or how to break this pattern. Any advice would really help.
