I’ve been co-sleeping since day one and I wouldn’t change it for the world. She’s 16 weeks now and we keep the next to me rib next to the bed but it works so well for all of us. She sleeps through the night completely and has done since week 5 and there’s nothing more beautiful than waking up and seeing your little bubba looking up and smiling at you! I’m a light sleeper since I’ve had her so if she even breathes funny I wake up and she won’t go in the middle because my partner is a light sleeper so I do everything I can to keep it safe

I started about week 2 because it was the only way I was going to get sleep, I figured it was safer to plan it safely than it happen accidentally unsafely. Wasn't my first choice as I like my space to move around in bed but we are now 10 weeks pp and its still the only way she will sleep when shes not on me.

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 😭😭
