Night wakings

Is anyone else’s baby really difficult to get back to sleep of a night now?
I thought we were on our way out of the regression but she wakes now between 2-3 am and it can take up to 3 hours to get her back to sleep, it’s like she’s taken a happy pill and is WIRED🫩
I’ll be doing every trick in the book, and just as she’s about to fall asleep it’s like she forces herself awake and we have to start all over again.
She wants her dummy, but is constantly grabbing it and pulling it out and throwing it when she has it, then cries for it back 😭
I just need to know there’s some light at the end of the tunnel.. I may start gentle sleep training when she goes in her own room which will be soon as she’ll be 6 months 2nd May and basically outfrown her nexttome but I don’t want to put too much on her too quickly, especially with solids coming up.
Please can I have some reassurance before I go insane 🫠😂

Omg I could have wrote this myself. The last 2 night ls my little girl has been the same. As soon as it hits 3.30/4 she's awake. I managed after an hour to get her back to sleep last night but the night before she would only fall asleep in my arms.

Mounjaro

Is mounjaro allowed to be taken whilst breastfeeding? I’m not on it yet, but considering it as it’s the only thing that helps me lose some weight due to my health conditions.

Tired 10 weeks postpartum mum needing reassurance from formula-feeding mums 🙏

Hi mums, I’m 10 weeks postpartum and feeling so burnt out. My baby doesn't latch, so I’ve been pumping and mixed feeding. Pumping is exhausting me, and I’m really thinking about quitting.

Because I work in healthcare, the guilt is hitting me hard and I keep overthinking the benefits of breast milk. But my mental and physical health are slipping.

Would love to hear from moms whose babies are 100% formula-fed. Please tell me your formula babies are thriving and that you got your sanity back! Need some reassurance today. 🙏

Struggling with feeding

My little girl is 7.5 weeks and we are struggling with feeding. When she takes the bottle, halfway into a feed she will be hysterically crying and want to continue to eat but keeps pulling off. This happens with the boob but not as much as only feeding boob mainly at night with a few day feeds. She will take the bottle if she’s either tired or distracted. Has anyone experienced this please? It started around 1.5 weeks ago and we are mainly doing pumped breast milk. Hoping this is just a phase 😩

Baby not burping - consequences?

My little one is 5 weeks old and does not wind!! No matter what I do. I try for like 15 minutes and he doesn’t bring anything up, I tend to keep him lying on me after feeding if I can’t wind him and he’s normally ok. There’s been the odd occasion he’s spat up when I’ve led him down but it’s very rare. What is the consequences if he is not burped? It’s stressing me out because surely he has something to bring up and don’t want him being uncomfortable 🙈
