Sleep Help
Hey Mamas! Im wondering if anyone has experienced similar and can maybe help.
Our little boy goes down for bed around 7 and recently keeps waking up at 5/5:30ish, this used to be around 6/6:30. He was having 2.5 hours sleep during the day and we have tried dropping this to 2 but it’s made no difference.
Anyone got any ideas or has been through similar? It might be he’s coming up to dropping a nap and that will mean a longer stretch overnight but thought I’d ask the group x

Mine has been like this and then this morning slept right through till 7.30 again. We didnt do anything differently she just seems to go through different phases. But when she was waking up earlier then she was still waking at 5 no matter the nap lengths wake windows and bed time. Maybe teething? And she has had a cold. Anyway if changing nap times hasn't made a difference then maybe it's a little phase. Sometimes it's so hard to know and I think any time before 6am should not be allowed!!
He’s got tooth 11 coming through so may be the teething. I know, the difference between 5/5:30 and 6 is significant 😂

Sleeping bags
I’m a FTM looking for some advice please.
I’ve just started putting my 9 week old in her sleeping bag at night the temperature when we go to bed is around 20/21 degrees I have been putting her in a 1 tog sleeping bag with her sleepsuit per the guide on the sleep bag. The temperature is dropping to about 16/17 degrees throughout the night making it colder.
Would you continue to put her in the 1 tog or would you put her in a warmer tog when she’s going to bed knowing the temperature is going to drop? I am worried about overheating her. TIA xx

Did anyone else not really love breastfeeding?
I breastfed for 18 months and it was more because I knew it was good for baby and then when we got into it, it was for convenience and ease. But I also felt that it took things away like baby being able to spend long periods of time with family (he wouldn’t take a bottle), and also I had a lack of freedom lol.
I’d do it again and don’t regret it but I never got the “I love breastfeeding, I love the closeness, it’s magical” kinda feeling that I read people talking about.

18 month old still has witching hour?
Help?!!!! My 18 month old from the day he was born has been absolute hell past 4pm. No matter how much sleep he has he whinges and cries at EVERY thing, all evening. My partner is really stressed out with it, as we thought by now he might have grown out of it. He’s sleeps 7:30pm- 6am, and 11:30-1:30 day nap. Eats WELL, that is what he actually mostly whinges at now… Always screaming at the kitchen cupboards. I don’t know what to do😩 is this happening to anyone else

Sleep training
Has anyone got any advice on sleep training? My nearly 15 week old is fine at night sleeps in her moses basket in our room still but in the day she will not go down in the cot in the living room as soon as I put her down she’s awake and won’t go back to sleep 😩

Period & milk supply
Did anyone find that when they got their period their milk supply got less? Think my first period is starting and noticed I'm finding I'm pumping less and less milk at the moment and wonder if they're connected.
