Ferber

If you were / have doing Ferber to try and keep baby (15 months) in their cot overnight, would you take in it turns throughout the night with your partner or do one full night on / off each?

Thinking it’s good to have that support on a night but then you’re both suffering and maybe it’s better for at least one person to be rested for the next day?

We took turns through the night but you have a good point and if I did it again would probably either switch of nights or at least break it into 2 chunks so we each get a solid few hours

I just did it myself (I had two ebf babies so partner couldn’t really help much, and only did Ferber for the second) but it only took three nights anyway

Not regarding the ferber, but every time my baby had a sleep regression of some kind we’d take turns, but usually one would do bed time and be responsible till like 2am and the other one after that till morning wake up.

Thanks everyone! I think splitting might work for us as I’m an early to bed kinda gal but my other half doesn’t mind being up later. Hate that we’re at this point but running out of options sadly x

Which ideaology do you wish would disappear?

1. Toys have genders
2. Breastfeeding past 1 year is just for the Mum
3. Boys don't cry
4. You can sleep train a newborn

Couldn't fit an option for all of them

Breastfeeding Mamas

I keep seeing mix reviews , did breastfeeding make you loose weight?

I’m lost

My daughter turns 6 months soon and will not stop crying. She has NEVERRR been like this at all. I put her down, she cries, I hold her, she cries. I am so tired and slowly going insane. I don’t know why she’s so sad. She doesn’t want a bottle, she doesn’t want to play and she doesn’t want to sleep. Someone please tell me this is normal or if I should take her to a doctor

Changing diaper

I have a question.. do y’all change your babies diapers during nap time while being out? My baby fell asleep and needs a diaper change.. but he struggled to fall asleep and I feel so bad waking him up to change his diaper because I know he won’t fall back asleep

Do you think incognito posts making assumptions or comments about breastfeeding are just trying to take digs at breastfeeding Mums?

Like I'm talking about present and past posts, for instance the one where they said it's weird to breastfeed a 1-2 year old or talking about Mums being addicted to breastfeeding... Yadda yadda yadda. Do you think they do that to try and slyly take digs at Mums who breastfeed?

Really fussy and upset baby. Please tell me it gets better?!

Hey, my 11 week old is a fussy baby from day one. He has his good moments but generally cries a lot, doesn’t like change and is a sensitive soul. I find it really hard to leave the house with him. He’s showing signs of regulating better and tolerating things however, the past 3 days he has just constantly cried and is fighting all of his naps. He usually loves contact napping on me but lately he fights it and only sleeps for about 15-20 minutes. He has also been getting distracted during feeds.

I think he’s currently in the third leap but please tell me it gets better?! Especially those who have had fussy/alert babies. Do they settle and become happy & relaxed babies? 😵‍💫
