9 week old sleeping through the night

For the past 2 nights my baby has slept through the night 😱
Yesterday she lasted 7h since the last feed until she woke up asking for food and today it's been 8h.
She got her jabs on Wednesday and she's been eating a little bit less (normally 730-820ml per day and for the past 4 days only about 700ml). Should I be concerned? She's otherwise very good, plenty of wet nappies and super alert when awake. I still feed her the same amount of times, just offering it more frequently

Tap water

Has anyone else’s baby been unsettled after having tap water?
My daughter had just turned 6 months old the other day and we’ve been giving her cool boiled water with her tea then today I gave her tap water instead she was fine after but when it come to falling asleep she’s really struggling slept about 2 hours and woke up screaming really hard to settle her crunching up and arching her back she normally sleeps 7-7 might wake up for her dummy but then go straight back to sleep. I don’t know if it’s because she’s got a bit of a cold or if the water has upset her tummy a bit. She also did quite a loose poo whilst she was trying to fall asleep which she never goes then

I’m struggling with my 2-week old

I really need to vent.

I feel like I can’t do this. I’m struggling so badly. I often cry when my baby cries. I get panicky when I can’t figure out what’s wrong. I feel like a bad mom, but I care about my baby and love him so much that it hurts.

I was neglected and abused as a child and I feel so much guilt for struggling so bad or even complaining in the first place. I want to be able to keep it together, but it feels so impossible sometimes. And I just want my baby to be happy and healthy but I feel like I’m doing a terrible job.

And I feel bad for my husband who has to deal with a crying baby and a crying wife. And I feel jealous of him because he handles everything so well and he’s naturally good at juggling stress, but I am the opposite. I feel like a terrible and ill-prepared mom.

Should my 4 almost 5 week old have a bedtime?

My baby girl will be 5 weeks on Tuesday (28th), she’s breastfed and sleeps well mostly but is usually up every 2-3 hours for a feed. I haven’t noticed a routine and has been co/sleeping for the last 2 weeks as she got a little cold and fusses a lot now when I try to put her in the sleepyhead. I’m not sure if the cold is what’s thrown everything off but should she have a bedtime or routine by now? I just go by her and what she wants at the moment…

Will we ever have our own room again.

My firstborn was in our bed up until she was around 1 year old, she then slept in a cot right beside the bed and still climbs in every now and again. The only reason we made this transition was because I was pregnant and it just became impossible. So currently my second baby, who is 6 months old is in our bed and my 19 month old is at arm's reach in her cot.
I know this sounds absolutely loony but I cannot imagine ever putting them both in their own room. Does anyone else feel like this? I feel like I sleep better knowing they are right beside me. I think it's me that can't deal with the transition into their own rooms nevermind them. Am I crazy, Ive got several friends who couldn't wait to put their babies in a separate room, to me it's not something I'm in any hurry to do. I don't know anyone who feels the same and it makes me feel like I'm the one with an issue.

Breastfeeding Duration

Everyone seems to spend a different amount of time breastfeeding. I've heard of women stopping at 6 months and offering formula, stopping at 1 year, stopping at 2 years. Some women even continue for more than 2 years. I was surprised to read that breastfeeding for 3 years is mentioned in the Bible.

How long are you planning to breastfeed for?

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. ✨
