Sometimes we get 3-4 hour stretches between night feeds and sometimes we get 30-60 mins…

Tonight is the latter and I’m exclusively BF so can’t even do shifts. I’m beyond exhausted and feel so tapped out.

I’m grateful we have some good nights thrown in the mix but wish I knew what made the difference!

What tips to people have to keep going when there’s literally nothing left in the tank?

I’m in that boat too, my daughter hasn’t ever done more than 3 hours for a feed and it’s rough! If you can catch up some sleep in the day, do it! We have a toddler too so it’s really just a case of carrying on!

Snoring partner

My partner snores. It’s so loud I can hear from another room. I normally sleep with ear plugs when I can’t take anymore but that won’t be possible when baby is here. Has anyone else experienced this? Did your partner see a doctor? What worked for you? It’s currently 5:30 and I’ve been woken by it 6 times. I feel insane.

silly question…

How do you guys break the attachment to smaller clothes your baby can’t fit anymore and get rid of them? I’m cleaning out my daughters drawers today and feel my heart hurting with each piece I take out 😩

Night feeds 15 weeks old formula fed

Hi everyone 😊

Just wondering what others do about night feeds…

My baby is 15 weeks old and formula fed. She’s gaining weight, but not loads, so I’m a bit unsure what’s best.

If she has a bottle around 9pm, would you usually wake your baby in the night for another feed, or just let them sleep until they wake up?

Would love to hear what worked for you and your babies at this age! 💛

How are you setting boundaries with your 14 month old?

I have no idea how to set boundaries with my 14 month old and basically give in always. She screams and cries when she wants things she can't have and I just get so overstimulated and cannot handle it so give in. She's a hair puller and I've even given in on that too and just let her rip and break my hair.

Mum in need of help here 😭
