I think as along as the baby gains weight it should be fine. At least that’s what I have been told

That’s absolutely fine, if he was hungry he would have waken up for a feed!
I’ve never woken up my girl for a feed.
They know they to wake up.
My baby is 15 month old now.
But she was doing now when she turn 2 months old

Both my kids slept through from day one never woke in the night for a feed try increasing his milk little at a time not to waste it though the day. If he's hungry he will let you know.

My son does somewhat of the same thing. He’ll be three months on the 1st, and he sleeps fully through the night for example, from 8–9 PM to 6–7 AM. He’s 13+ pounds and 28+ inches, and his pediatrician tells us it’s perfectly fine to let him sleep through the night if he’s eating well during the day. He’s always eaten more than most babies during the day and very little at night, and he’s gaining weight well, so he’s fine to sleep through the night. I would definitely ask your pediatrician too, just to make sure he’s gaining weight and eating well. Some babies are just easy with bedtime. My son loves his bed, and if he’s tired, he can put himself to sleep all we have to do is lay him down. For naps, he usually takes 2–4 short naps during the day, which is normal for babies who sleep through the night. As long as he’s not sleeping too much and your pediatrician says he’s gaining weight and eating well, I don’t really see a problem. Some babies just really love their sleep!

Enjoy the sleep love!! As said above as long as little one is good with their weight gain enjoy it!!

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

Am I wrong for not covering up while breastfeeding in my own house?

I am a single mom who is breastfeeding. When I’m in public, yeah I cover up because that’s my personal preference. But when I am at home alone, I am just fully top exposed. No care in the world.

Well my soon to be ex husband came waltzing in unannounced. No heads up or nothing. (No he don’t live there anymore) as soon as he walks in, he sees me topless breastfeeding our new born son. As soon as he sees, he says, “wtf is wrong with you? I don’t wanna see that shit. Cover up!” I had no idea he was coming over. Otherwise I would’ve covered up. But yet again, it’s my house. You didn’t tell me you were coming through. So if you don’t like what you see, there’s the door. Am I wrong for not covering up while breastfeeding in my own house?

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

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?

Hurts to have sex

I'm almost 6 weeks postpartum and have already gotten the okay from my obgyn to have sex again but me and my husband tried and it hurt really bad, I didn't start feeling or anything but it hurt to sit after as well (we did not continue when it started hurting) any advice? Me and my husband's sex drives are high and I miss being intimate with him but don't want to undo any healing I have accomplished
