Oh girl. You don’t need to wake them up! If they are sleeping then let them sleep and you need sleep too!!

My Dr said as long as she’s gaining weight we could stop waking her after 6 weeks. She got to where she would only wake 2 times a night around 11 am then 4-5ish but she ate great during the day & was gaining weight great. Now she’s 10 months and having sleep regressions & wakes way more than that & I miss her newborn sleep haha

If baby is on track with their weight gain and has no other medical reason to be regularly woken up, let baby sleep 😴

If she’s sleep, I let her sleep. She’ll wake when she’s hungry. I check on her periodically but if she wants to sleep for 12 hours through the night I will let her.

Breastfeeding continuously

I am starting to feel like all my baby does is latch to my boobs (she has since birth if I’m honest) I understand they use the boobs for food, comfort, to regulate themselves etc, which I don’t want to stop but it’s beginning to make me feel isolated and unable to do anything other than sit and feed her. Advice or suggestions welcome to get me through 🙏 x

Pump recommendations?

I’m exclusively breastfeeding my 7 week old, but would like to now have a freezer stash and have the option for my partner to do an evening feed, I’ve seen the momcozy pumps, but they are quite expensive any recommendations for something cheaper? ☺️ thanks!

Car seat

What car seats did you move onto once your little one outgrew their first car seat? Any you’d recommended (or avoid)

Colostrum harvesting

Anyone else really struggling to collect any colostrum? I've tried all of the recommendations for it and watched several videos but just getting nothing. I'm worried as I'm due to go in for a c section on Friday ☹️

Overfeeding newborn?!

Today I found out from my GP that feed on demand relates to breastfeeding. I’ve in fact been overfeeding my precious newborn and I feel both embarrassed and guilty.

I’m neurodiverse so I took that phrase literally and although I shouldn’t I feel so bad. She’s been in pain and her stomach was large!! My husband was like that’s normal and I’m so happy I finally listened to myself to get it checked after being gaslit so many times.

Anyway, this is to say follow your instincts and ignore formula pack feeding guidance 😅

Nursery

When little one starts nursery she will be 10 months. She is formula fed - do I send her in with her bottles and a tub of formula? Flask and rapid cool?
Stupid question but 😂
