8 week old sleep patterns

I’m a bit concerned our 8 week old is sleeping too much.. he is only ever awake for around an hour/hour and a half at a time. Tends to wake for a feed then very shortly afterwards is back asleep and stirs occasionally but doesn’t really properly wake until the next feed. Is this normal ?

Stopping breast feeding

I decided yesterday to stop BF, my newborn is five weeks but I just find it so demanding with a toddler etc that want to switch to formula now but I am in AGONY. Omg is this normal? No one warned me I’d be in so much pain. I’ve had to sleep upright and take pain relief! How long will this last?

I need help please

Does anyone knows why my 4 month old puts the dummy in ber mouth like this? She puts the bottom half of the dummy in her mouth. Does that mean we need bigger size?

Pram regret is real 😩 did I choose wrong?

Mums I need help 😩

I bought the Bugaboo Dragonfly and now I’m having serious regrets… I keep thinking I should’ve gone for the YOYO instead 😭

We’re flying on 1st June and baby will be just under 4 months, so now I’m stressing about airport life, folding the pram, gate checking, all of it 🫠

Do I:

1. Keep the Dragonfly and just deal with it for travel
2. Sell it and switch to a YOYO
3. Keep it and get a separate travel buggy

I love the comfort of the Dragonfly but I’m worried it’s going to be a nightmare at the airport. But then I don’t want to downgrade and regret it the other way either 😩

If you’ve travelled with either (or both!) what did you do??
Was the YOYO actually worth it or is it overhyped?

Also flying with a 4 month old… any must-know tips? ✈️🤍

Sleep. 10 nearly 11 months

My LO goes down between 1830 and 1900 every night but no matter what we try. The latest she will sleep is 545. It was 510 this morning 😴 I reduced her daytime sleep yesterday to 2 hours and 5 which I think could have resulted in over tiredness hence the early start - she normally has between 2 hours 30 and 2 hours 45. Does anyone have any words of wisdom? Our whole day has shifted earlier now because of the early start but I really don’t want to do an early bedtime…?

5oz for 5 week old

My 5 week old is currently on 5oz as she was on 4oz but was hungry again after an hour. Since increasing to 5 she’s been sick a LOT, I tried going back down to 4 but she would down the whole bottle and still be hungry. I tried a dummy to see if she actually just wanted comfort but she spits it out and continues screaming. I don’t know what I should do as 4 isn’t enough but 5 seems too much for her as she ends up throwing a lot of it back up. She has a bottle every 2/3 hours, so 5oz for her age and so many of them feels like too much.

Nesting??

I don’t understand it when people say ‘has nesting kicked in yet’ or think of it as a stage of pregnancy that’s caused by hormones or a symptom of end of pregnancy.

Surely it’s just a product of being on maternity leave and having more time on your hands plus the actual physical need to get stuff ready for the baby and knowing for the next few years you won’t have time to clean the home properly.

Anyone else agree?
