5am vent

It’s 5am, my baby is just bringing back up all the milk I’m feeding him 😖 I’m soaked, he’s soaked, the bed is soaked. He’s wide awake just staring at me like ‘what now?’ Husband snoring peacefully next to us, of course.
I feel like I need my mum to come clean us both up and tuck us in.

Best ready mixed formula for an EBF 6 months old bubba. We are going on holiday and mamma needs a drink 💃🏼

Also the difference between first and infant milk?

Baby sleeping

Hi mom's, how do you get your baby to sleep a full 8 or 12 hours every night, I'm suffering my baby girl only sleep for a few minutes every night, I mean she'll fall asleep at say for example 8pm and by 8:15 or before she's up again, I'm struggling really bad and I'm so tired and stressed out I need help

Sleep help

How do you cope? My little girl will not be put down anymore. She will -scream- the entire way through the night if I am not stood rocking her or feeding her. The second I try and put her down she wakes up and will not stop screeching until she’s picked up again. I have had flu after flu this winter and i was hospitalised earlier this week because my body cant cope with having no rest and being unable to get better. Im so done with this I need sleep. I never wanted to do the cry it out method but even when I’ve had to because I literally didnt have the physical strength to pick her up, she would never stop crying. I tried making the bed warm, laying her on my t-shirt, white noise, lullabies, silence, pitch black then low lights etc etc, I am getting no sleep and its killing me.

Worst part is I have a husband but he has no regard for any of it. He’s never once helped me put her down or woken up to soothe her not a single time and shes almost 10 months. He knows how ill I am and how much I need rest. His excuse is that he goes to work. I was supposed to return to work a few weeks ago and I did go a couple days but then I have been put on bed rest by the doctors and not worked since because I physically can’t. I am so sick of being ill and he’s completely neglecting me and our daughter. How does anyone do this.

Sorry needed that rant

Nap routines

Do you guys have a strict nap routine? Up to this point I’ve been following babies cues more than anything but today he had a really long third nap so I’m currently having to try to stretch the last wake window until bedtime (last time I offered a short catnap and woke him up, her was absolutely furious and bedtime was a nightmare 😬)

He’s normally up around 6am (awake a bit earlier but I wait until he’s fussing just incase he settles), was on an average of 4 naps and bedtime at 7pm.

Today he woke from his nap at 3:20pm and I don’t think I can delay bedtime any later than 6:30 🫣

Just wondering if a stricter routine would help maybe 🤷🏼‍♀️

How many hours sleep does your baby get in the day? (Comments) and when is bedtime?

My little guy only gets a total of 10 hours sleep daily at 8 months. He’s clearly miserable as he’s tired all the time but waking every 2 hours still at night.
