Set nap times

Does anyone not have set naps? Baby tends to wake up within the same 30 minute window in the morning, so first nap is always roughly the same time, but other than that it’s completely all over the place.

Some naps are 30 mins, some are an hour and a half. And it’s never at the same time either. First nap could be the shortest or the longest.

How do I get my baby to sleep longer? I’ve tried saving the nap with cuddles but sometimes it just doesn’t work 🫣

She’s 7 months old next week x

I don’t. Never have done set naps. I’ll let him sleep as long as he wants during day but evening obviously he’ll have an hour normally before bedtime

With naps I go off his sleep cues it’s hard lol but there’s no routine there, I try to stick to a bedtime around the same time every night around an hour wiggle room but yeah very much go with the flow lol

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 😭😭
