Still multiple wakes each night

Hoping I’m not alone in my tiredness! My 15 (nearly 16 month) year old still wake around 3 to 4 times each night. It has become almost the same time now each night at 11pm, 1am, 3am and then varies from 6am - 7am wake up. His normal routine is first nap around 11am for 2 hours then bed at 7/7:30pm. We do rock to sleep after feeding milk. When we woke in the night we have weaning off giving him milk but now he just wakes for cuddles and rocking each time. Anyone experiencing the same? I really don’t want to do sleep training but not sure what I need to change! X

I’m with you. Usually 2-4 wakes at almost 17 months

My daughter is 20 months. We're still getting wake ups. We really don't want to sleep train either. We've resorted to having a mattress on her nursery floor and at first wake up one of us goes in and brings her down onto the mattress and spends the rest of the night there. She sleeps much better down on the mattress with way fewer wakes. Most of the time she might go through then until morning. First wake up can be anywhere between 9:30 and 5:30am. We've tried all sorts with naps and day sleep and different bedtime routines and blackout blinds etc etc and nothing works. So we've just accepted that she needs us for a bit longer.

My little boy was the same, till he was 14months when resorted to sleep training. Not cry it out but when putting him to bed, instead of rocking him or feeding him to sleep, we'd continuously lay him down every time he stood up. No verbal interaction. The first time it took me 45 minutes before he finally gave up and went to sleep. This time gradually decreased. The advice was if he was getting really upset to give him a quick cuddle then contiue with laying him down. One lady said to cuddle him in the cot, another said you could pick him up. It's up to you I guess. It's just to help calm him. Gradually it went from this to us stroking him to sleep, since he'd learnt to lay down, then just sitting in the room and sneaking out. And within 2 weeks of the starting point, we could just lay him down, walk out the room and he'd go to straight to sleep independently. This was the same routine whenever he woke in the night and within the 2 weeks he went from waking 3 times a night to sleeping through xx

Elective C Section and Breastfeeding

Hi girls

My c section is booked next week and I'm excited and terrified in equal measures!!

Please can you give me your top tips for helping your milk supply along. Ive tried pumping colostrum at 37 and 38 weeks and just getting little trickles, nothing worth collecting. I've heard breastfeeding feeding is harder after an elective section.

Any advice would be amazing! Xx

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

Breastfeeding with piercings?

I am 34 weeks along and my midwife told me if I want to breastfeed I should take my piercings out now, but when I had a home visit with a nurse she said I shouldnt have to take them out except when feeding or pumping. So I am just curious if there are any moms who have their nipples pierced who have been either breastfeeding or pumping and what's been your experience so far?
Editing to add: I don't mean I want to leave the piercings in while I'm breastfeeding or pumping. I mean taking them out while doing so but putting them back in after.

Does your partner stay awake ridiculous hours on the weekend knowing he’s already tired?

My partner continues to complain about being tired but constantly goes to bed after 11 weekdays and usually after 1 am on weekends, which means he never wakes up for our kids on the weekend I’m always up with them even if that is after I’ve had a night out. Is this normal or

Where do you put baby to sleep during day?

Where do you put baby to sleep during the day? In your living room or in another room? Do you darken the room during the day while they sleep? Do they already have a sleeping routine during the day ? (8 weeks old)

Night Time Nappy Leaks - Size 4, 4+ or 5 for a 6.5 Month-Old Side Sleeper

My 6.5 month old girl wears Aldi size 4+ nappies, and they seem perfectly fine during the day.

However, for the last two nights she has peed through her clothes and onto the bedding. She mainly sleeps on her side or tummy. Should I switch back to size 4 nappies for night time, or move up to size 5 instead?
