4 month sleep regression?

What does / did the 4 month sleep regression look like for you? I honestly thought we had already had it as baby went from waking once per night for ages (which was lovvvvely) to 2 or 3 times per night recently

But for the past few nights, my LB has been waking literally EVERY hour & i'm wondering if THIS is the 4 month sleep regression that we all fear??? I'm exhausted

Yes it’s looked more like the latter for us. Waking every hour. My boy seemed to hit it at 3 months and it’s been going for a few weeks now but hoping we are starting to see some light at the end of the tunnel with the first longer stint of sleep at least! Good luck!

Yep sis is getting up every 1-2hrs now 😅

Ours is waking up every single hour too, it’s so brutal! How are you dealing with the wake ups? It’s so hard not to feed back to sleep or pick up - they recommend avoiding all this to prevent sleep associations. Send help 🙃

Breastfeeding popularity

Absolutely zero judgement here, but I’m curious how many people actually breastfeed? I exclusively breastfed my first for a year and currently 9.5 months in with my second. Out of the 11 babies in my friend group my 2 are the only ones breastfed past 3 months.

Poopin probs

My son is 4 months old and has always had a hard time pooping (he goes once a day is that). He currently has the stomach bug last week and is starting to feel better, but his poop has been hard some since being sick. He has also been so fussy. I give him gas drops often. What do y’all do when your baby can’t go?

Proud

I have no where else to go with this so thought it would be good to shout out here.
Baby girl is 4 weeks and 2 days old, was ebf however she could not latch deep enough so I went to pumping and bottle feeding.
However last 2 nights baby girl has got extremely restless after her bottle. Tonight my husband said put her on the boob she is it helps her, well I did with a nipple shield and she fed for 25 minutes. Came off content and fell to sleep straight after.
I thought my breastfeeding journey was over and it was bottles breast fed and pumping but think we may introduce a night time breast feeding to see how that is.
I am proud of bay girl and myself.

SLEEP TRAINING - this is a last resort! I don’t know what to do anymore!!!!!!

This is my third child.
I have never ‘agreed’ with sleeping training because I hate my children crying and want them to know that I will always be there to comfort them.

But I didn’t need to with my older two.

My 3rd baby is now 10 months and cannot be put down. She cries every single time and stops as soon as I pick her up.

I cannot be holding her constantly. I need rest too. My partner and I need time together, even if it is limited.

What can I do? What is sleep training? How does it work? What do I do?

PLEASE HELP

Milk supply.

My baby is 6 weeks old, my milk supply has dropped I am exclusively pumping as baby will not latch at all but the last 48 hours my milk has started to smell and taste funny. My baby has become extremely unsettled I’ve had to top her up with formula because no matter how much I’m pumping I’m not producing enough. Over the last 6 weeks I’ve been oversupplying and it’s just suddenly dropped. I don’t know if it is because I am feeling extremely exhausted and run down or if it’s just drying up and coming to an end. I was considering weaning off by 3 months but have been very undecided about that. Has anyone got any advice?
