Hi,
I was having the same issue then I sized up her nappies, put her in a vest & sleepsuit the next size up too and she hasn’t leaked through since 🀞
Not sure if that might help?

Nappy changes at nighttime

My boy is 8 weeks old. Does everyone change when they wake for feeds? He has a bottle around 9pm and a nappy change. then wakes up 2/3 times during the night. He usually takes a bottle then falls back to sleep quickly. If he hasn't done a poo am I doing the right thing by leaving till morning? Please help a struggling mum out πŸ˜’πŸ‘πŸΌ

Putting themselves to sleep

Ok I know this might seem daft but has anybody else's baby started going to sleep themselves

I put Freya down to make her a bottle today and I came back and she was fast asleep

Apparently according to her dad she does this during the night

AND she slept 9:30pm until 5:50am today all the way through I'm grateful but just wondering if it's normal

Clinginess

I have a 9 week old and when he was first born the minute I put him down he’d cry it got to point where I was barely getting an hour sleep every night cause he wouldn’t even settle on my partner, he’s now 9 weeks and exactly the same once my partner went back to work it left me with the only option of co sleeping with him otherwise it’d be more dangerous me being so tired around him I feel as tho it’s only made it worst he can’t stand being put down it leaves me in a situation where I can’t do anything for myself cause he’s in my arms constantly I try with morning feed like once he’s don’t feeding I wait 20 mins then they transfer him I’ve tried every method swaddling, feet them bum then head then hand gently on chest we do car rides but he wakes up as soon as car stops pram walks he’s familiar with feeling of the stones under pram on our drive so wakes up I’ve tried carrier but once put down wakes up again, I love him to pieces but it gets overwhelming especially with the dog as the dog follows me around and wants attention to not to mention the house is a mess and my partner tried his best but he work long hours it’s driving me insane especially the crying it’s not like a slight cry it’s like cry until can’t catch breath kind of cry until I pick him up again

Annoyed

I am so sick of my family telling me β€œthere’s something wrong with your baby” all the time. She’s my second born my first is a boy he was a calm baby. She cries a lot. It’s just really getting to me now. I tell them it’s because she’s tired or overstimulated and they are like β€œwhy is she overstimulated?” Like hello she’s a baby!!!!!!

Baby mostly sleeps during the day

Is that normal for my 5weeks old to sleep most of the day? He basically stays up maybe for 30’ then he wants to sleep again. He fusses and wants to feed to sleep. We do very little , no tummy time.
What’s your baby doing?

Breastfeeding guilt

I struggled to produce enough for my first baby and he had to go onto be fully formula fed at 10 weeks. I now have a 3 week old and we're having the same issues, my supply is slightly more than with this one, but not enough as she has still lost too much weight and is now supplemented with formula. I'd really hoped to get it right this time and be able to breastfeed throughout, I'd done a ton of research on what foods to eat/avoid, how to keep hydrated etc. I just feel guilty that I can't... Pumping is discouraging too because I get so little out. I know my son is thriving despite being formula fed, but the guilt that I can't do it with this baby either keeps making me feel like I've failed her already. I knew this was a possibility, so why do I feel this way? 😭😭😭
