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

It’s normal for them to still wake for food during the night at this age and to sleep 9-11 hours as well. My little boy goes down between 8:30-9:30 and gets up between 6-8am just depends when he’s ready to wake up sometimes an earlier bedtime can help improve a longer stretch but you’re doing nothing wrong he’s just doing what he’s meant to be doing x

Mine goes to bed at 8:30, feed at 2/3 and always awakes at 5am on the dot and won’t let us put her back down after that 🤣🤣 she’s got an internal alarm set I think (she’s 4 months)

We put ours to bed anytime from 8pm, he generally wakes once at night between 3-5am for a bottle and then wakes up around 8:30am? I usually just bring him into bed with me for an hour or so and he does sometimes sleep more😂😂

I think it’s still too early to implement a solid sleep routine as they are still changing so much.

We’ve recently moved our toddler to a single bed with a duvet for the first time. She’s manages to stay under the duvet for the first 4 hours then doesn’t have the duvet on. Currently she’s at the other end, on top of the duvet.
Will she eventually stay under?

Hi,
I’m really stressed because my mum is telling me not to get my child vaccinated with the 1 year jabs. My baby has already had the first 3 jabs but she’s really trying to get me to not get him vaccinated. I would like real opinions please. Has anyone here not had their baby jabbed? Please don’t think I’m silly for writing this, first time mum here so everything is so scary and new. Thank you!

Everything is stress induced anymore
My daughter has this ongoing diarrhea for 2 weeks now and I’ve gotten no sleep from it, I now have a canker sore from it, my acid reflux has more flare ups than ever. I don’t like having sex anymore (I love my partner and I still find him very attractive). Im way too overly touched (by the baby, by the dog and by him). Im 10m pp and I haven’t been able to wear a dang tampon! I don’t do pads because they are just not for me so I wear a diaper.
Please tell me if you relate to any of this at all? Or if I’m just crazy

Anyone else’s little one been hit by sleep regression like a ton of bricks? 🙃.
Baby girl was sleeping so well then this past week has been struggling, last night was WILD. We are currently running on caffeine and vibes 😅✌️.
We can do this mamas.

Has anyone got any experience with a toddler somewhat becoming more affectionate towards the end of pregnancy. I'm almost 37 weeks and my daughter has suddenly taken a liking to lay on my bump, talking to the bump and overall being very cuddly. She has also been an amazing sleeper up until about 3 days ago and she absolutely insists on coming into our bed for about an hour before we are due to all get up. Is she sensing the change and the shift that is about to happen?

My baby has a really awful latch and breastfeeding can be quite uncomfortable. I’ve had help from the infant feeding team and it’s improved but still not great. He doesn’t have a tongue tie.
I think he swallows down a lot of air, he always has trapped wind and an uncomfortable tummy, he fusses and grunts all night long, never burps after feeds. He’s always congested and has hiccups all the time.
I have a fast letdown so I think that also contributes. I’m really really considering switching to formula but the guilt that comes alongside that is killing me.
My eldest was breastfed for 8 months so I feel so shameful considering quitting at just 4 weeks with second baby. I also feel a huge responsibility to keep breastfeeding through winter for the immune system and health benefits.
I’m just really not enjoying breastfeeding this time and it’s making me miserable.
Any tips?
