A couple of night feeds is normal at this age.

What are you wanting to change?

What is the routine for the whole day?

Is he fussy? Or just up? You need to reset the bedtime routine

Kudos to you for getting him to sleep without a feed, I wouldn't have dreamed of that at 9 months 😂
My little one used to wake up all the time and I dreamfed her back to sleep to avoid her being up for long. She slowly stopped after she turned 1 and then didn't sleep through until the boobies went away for good

How long is the second nap?

Id say bedtime is way too late if it's a short nap (45 mins) and a bit too late if it's a long one (2 hours)

If the nap is 45 mins I'd try fit a third in around 5 for 15 mins or something then push bedtime a bit later.

If the nap is longer so 1-3 then I'd try bedtime about 6.30/6.45.

2 hours for 1 nap is a lot of day sleep, I would say he should be having 2 hours in total over the 2 naps at 9 months old, I would cap the naps and your nights will improve x

I agree with Jestina. Try to lock in your schedule. Wake up at same time every day eg 6. Aim for wake windows of 3/3.5/4 and cap naps. This should help with the wake ups. Sleep pressure is so important

His daily average nap length is 2 hours and five min x

Sterilisation

Looking to hear about other people's experiences on sterilisation. I was sterilised on Saturday. Before I went in I was told the surgery will take roughly 30 mins and the pain would be minimal. However it took 2 and half hours and the pain has been excruciating, I'm also getting more swollen since its been done and bleeding more vaginally (but not heavily) I ended up staying in over night because my blood pressure dropped drastically, and I wasn't responding to any of the pain medication. I have no explanation for any of this, as I was moved wards pretty quickly so no one from the surgical team spoke to me afterwards, and i have only my discharge notes to go by, which state everything was normal and went well. Did anyone else end up in an unexpected amount of pain? How long did it last? I've been told I can't lift or bend for 2 weeks minimum, did anyone else manage before this?

Does your husband change your daughters diaper?

Mine avoids it and makes all kinds of excuses but he will change our son's.

Are we all ok?? 15 week old

My baby is constantly and aggressively coming off the breast even though I know she is probably hungry, everyone keeps saying she is more alert and distracted, makes absolutely no difference to be in a dark room, she also now only feeds for about 4 minutes on average per feed, so it feels like cluster feeding but also she must be frustrated, it’s just relentless. Some days she can cry for two hours, more wake ups in the night and can be awake for two hours or so at any time in the night, no pattern to it. Feeling soo drained by it all.

Combi feeding

Is anyone able to give me advice on how to do this from birth please. My first was formula only but I really want to make an attempt if I can, I just know I won’t be able to handle the whole shabang and sometimes I’m just going to need the option to just hand to my partner and say make a bottle. I absolutely do not want to touch a pump (they’re terrifying to me) so Combi is what I’m going for. TIA

Anyone elses EBF baby sleep like mine 😅

Baby is 4.5 months old and our naps have always been terrible, the max she has ever napped for is 1.5 hours, but the last month her day naps have all looked like this. She won't be resettled when she wakes up and can't seem to drift off on her own....any tips on getting her to self soothe? We can't seem to soothe her in her cot at all, she just screams, or falls asleep for one minute then wakes up upset! She won't keep a dummy in either.
Some bedtimes are also taking up to six hours because of this, but if I try to reset by taking her downstairs, we start bedtime again and it could take hours again!
She also won't fall asleep in the car or buggy, only on me and occasionally being rocked with a dummy by only me or my partner😅

First time Mum here!

Hello everyone, I hope you are all having a wonderful Sunday.

I am a FTM, having a boy and I am due in February! I am so so excited 🩵👩🏻‍🍼

I just want to know what are maybe 3-5 of your top favourite baby items/essentials that you have used and would use again in a heart beat. Perhaps things for your babies/yourself during pregnancy/post natal.

Thanks so much 🤰🏻👶🏻🍼xx
