Baby waking up at 6am

Feel like I’m doing something wrong… My baby keeps waking up all the time at 6am or just before that. This is way too early for me… 🫠
Is or was anyone on the same boat as me?
If you were, what did you change for baby to sleep at least until 7-7:30am?
Current bed time is 7:30pm. Had to bring it earlier as he only takes 30min naps during the day (since week 12 and we are 19 now!!) so by the end of the day he is very fussy and impossible to deal with..
thought about putting him for the nap instead of bedtime and then put him sleep late so he wakes up later in the morning but his last nap (around 5-5:30pm) it’s terrible! He fights it like crazy so I guess another one would only be worse.. I think 🤔

He also wakes up at night constantly around 2-3am for a feed. I guess he is hungry because he eats full bottle but he eat quite a lot during the day so I’m surprised he is waking up for food..

You can only expect babies and young children to sleep between 9-11 hours over night, unfortunately if you want a later wake up you need a later bedtime.
Babies eating during the night is fine, especially since they grow so much in the first year and hes finishing the whole thing.

Wait until older he will be up before 6 😂

No seriously though have you tried an earlier bedtime over tiredness causes more early wakes . But middle of the night feeds is totally expected at this age so I wouldn't fight that x
Mine goes to bed between 6 and and half past and usually get anything between 6.45/7.30 wake up x

However 6/7 am wake up at this age is also classed as normal so you might not find the sweet spot . It's very tricky z

Left over nappies

What do people do with leftover nappies when their babies go up a size, I have lots of size 1,2 and 3 from when my baby sizes up and im not sure what to do with them , binning seems wrong , charity and food and living banks only take them when it’s a sealed brand new pack , what do you do with your leftovers

Do you wash your hands after changing a nappy?

I've been to quite a few baby groups where I've noticed a lot of her mums don't wash their hands after they change their baby. they just change them in the room and then carry on with the class. Personally, I find it gross and the same as going to the toilet without washing your hands. I wondered whatever everyone else thought.

Lump in breast when breastfeeding

I have found a lump in my breast that is sore to touch and hard. It feels kind of moveable. Has anyone had this while breastfeeding? It’s not mastitis as I’ve had that a few times

Confession one time I met a cool mom on here

We hung out in person like 5 times and it seemed pretty good. Our kids got along. I was struggling with post partum depression and I missed a few of her texts and didn’t see and I convinced myself she ghosted me and I got super mad and I suppose she thought I did the same to her and we didn’t speak for like 3 months. Then we tried hanging out again and again convinced myself she didn’t like me and that there was weird vibes and we never spoke again. After my post partum went away I realize she never ghosted me and there wasn’t really anything weird. 🤦🏻‍♀️🤦🏻‍♀️🤦🏻‍♀️friendship lost.

Is it blood

My 6months baby spitted out curdled milk and it had red fibre like thing in it. Is it blood? Has anyone seen it before with their baby. He had avocados in the morning and this spit up was at night

Bath time

My 1 year old randomly started hating baths she used to love them and now all she will scream and yell and want out right when she goes in ( nothing has happened for her to act like this just our normal night time routine) has anyone experienced this?
