Anyone awake?
It’s one of the hard nights when baby won’t go to sleep, my partner does the first part of the night (usually until 4am), at 2am he was desperate because baby won’t sleep at all. He changed him 3 times and fed him a whole bottle of formula. I got up and breastfed him once at 2am and now I’m currently breastfeeding again. I feel like this baby won’t let us sleep tonight so just wanted to see if anyone is in the same situation.
This too shall pass. ✨

Yes, same boat. They say formula puts baby to deep sleep but that’s not helping too
Have you tried swaddling?? I know you can only do it to a certain age but my girl quiets right down when she is swaddled tightly
Yes this was me and my boyfriend the other night, my little girl was awake from 1am until 4:45am and just wouldn’t let us sleep, we did everything. In the end I just repeated everything and rocked her to sleep but it’s just one of those things sometimes 😴
Mine was doing this earlier. Have you tried laying one of your t-shirts in the crib then put swaddled baby in? Sometimes I find that helps because they can still smell you
Were in same boar, it was nnight 2 for us but I gave up and slept in the front room with moses basket as he was not settling in next 2 me and constantly wanting to breastfeed, ive had 3hrs of broken sleep 😴
I'm a zombie this morning. Also up through early morning around 2am, then up again at 4am. Just really fussy..Terrible night. I EBF and he's gone through all his sleepsuits because of the amount of sickup. But also he's got a phlegmy cough which brings milk up sometimes. Since yesterday 4pm he was having half an hour bursts of sleep and screaming to be held and fed. I cancelled plans with family last night and today I don't think I'll be able to function either 🥲x

Social services
I have been referred to social services due to a cancelled abortion clinic appt as they were worried about emotional abuse/coercive control. I have another toddler already. Feeling very stressed and anxious. Has anyone had this experience themselves or have any experience of social services assessment? They advised they will be visiting me.

4m sleep regression
My daughter is 16 weeks old now and prior to about 2 weeks ago she used to be such a good sleeper at night. One maybe 2 wakes at most and she slept through the night a handful of times!
Since she hit 14 weeks, everything changed 😅 she wakes up constantly all night, 5-10 times a night.. I’m exhausted! I think the 4 month sleep regression came a little early for us ?
We’re 2 weeks into it now with no sign of it getting any better, how long can I expect this to go on for? Will she ever be a good sleeper again? 😫

Triple Feeding 🙃 Nipple Shield Weaning ? Any success stories !??
Hi everyone. My baby girl was born on 25th September at 34 weeks (she was 5lb 5oz) and we spent a couple weeks in hospital afterwards. Initially for the first 7 days she was tube fed and we were discharged triple feeding, so I breastfeed (have only had success with a nipple shield 🙃) then I top up with 45ml breastmilk afterwards and then pump. This is not sustainable long term but I guess I'm just looking for any success stories from doing this?!? I don't really know what to do, she doesn't transfer milk very well whilst breastfeeding as every feed takes a good half hour per breast (if I manage to get her to latch) and then she needs the top up after. It all feels a bit pointless using the nipple shield but she is completely reliant, has anyone managed to wean their little one off? I went to a breastfeeding clinic locally and found it a bit stressful so don't really want to go back (I just had a lady trying to shove my boob in her mouth for 20 mins without a shield whilst she screamed hysterically). I don't really know what to do and just feel like I need some reassurance to bin it all off and transition to formula maybe? Or shall I wait it out??
She will be 4 weeks on Friday and is now 5lb 14oz (up from 5lb 5oz).
Sending hugs to all you September mums 😄 xxxx
