Sleeping through

Just curious really. My 7 month old has never slept through the night. If you’ve also got a little one who hasn’t slept through since birth, when did they start sleeping through? And did it change suddenly? Or was there things you did to help?

My baby is 7 months and wakes 8-12x a night

Mine was 7 months when he slept through for the first time but then it was very inconsistent until he was about 13/14 months when he started sleeping through more regularly. Only thing really that helped was when we moved him into his own room and started upping his bottles compared to breastfeeding, and I suppose a bit more full from weaning. We never did any formal sort of sleep training but I tried to not “over intervene” and rush in as soon as he made a noise but tried to let him settle himself as long as he wasn’t too upset.

My first started sleeping through at 8 weeks. My second still doesn’t at 21 months.

They’re all just so different. They get there when they get there 🤷🏼‍♀️

Waited forever for my oldest to sleep through after seeing so many people with theirs sleeping through from a young age. He's 3 in August and still haven't had a full night sleep though as he stirs still. Not the same as feeding through the night but I'm on baby number 2, 2 months in so I guess here we go again 😆

What happens if you don't breastfeed?

Probably a stupid question but idk, if you choose to formula feed what happens when your milk comes in and how do you avoid mastitis?

Colostrum harvesting

Anyone else having real difficulty?? So demoralising. I was wondering if people have any tips…

Also how long should you try for? I’m getting minuscule drips but nowhere near even 0.1ml. 🥺

Thanks in advance

Silly question

My 1 week old seems to barely be awake, I know wake windows are really short at this age but is it normal for him to only be awake 1-2 hours a day?!

Spits at night

Hi ladies, my newborn throws up in her bassinet a lot throughout the night. I am too anxious to sleep with the fear she will choke or something more sinister is going on. Have anyone had a similar issue? Disclaimer - She is literally only days old

Left baby to cry

My six month old is exclusively breastfed, and from 2 months old he slept like a dream 8 hours plus, he fell asleep at the boob and then i put him in the crib and he slept all night. However, since 4 months old he has woken every 45 minutes and nothing will quieten him other than to be placed on the boob, he isnt hungry because he barely drinks.

Today, after two months of no sleep (partner sleeps in other room), baby was very fussy the whole day and i feel like ive ignored him, he has still been fed, changed etc but i just feel like i havent got the energy, no idea what to do 😭😭
