16 week old sleeling through the night

My little boy is 16week and is generally going through night. I orginally started his routine at 6pm for him to be in bed by 7pm..however hes had other plans and is ready for bed at 5.30pm. I the last 2 nights hes been asleep (other than brief wakings for his dummy) from 5.30 /5.45pm to between 5/6am.
Im actually concerned as he is on full breast milk which means he needs more regular feeds.i have been dream feeding him around 9pm because i feel that long without milk cant be good. I dont want to wake him obviously but i also want to make sure hes not getting dehydrated. Would anyone do anythinf different? Hes such a chilled baby and has 8oz every 2.5/3 hrs during the day

My son is 12 weeks and is the same. He basically gets himself ready for bed around 7 pm and can sleep through till 5/6 am for the first feed of the day... depending. I always think if they are gaining weight, happy and having wet nappies. You are completely fine and listen to your little one, he will know when he is hungry and wants feeding.
But everyone and every baby is different. Xx

I wouldnt worry at all, some babies just sleep long periods and dont want / need breastmilk. If you are dream feeding at 9pm then its not that long x

AnE ??

Maybe I’m over panicking here - all day my son (3) has thrown up, if he ate (toast) he throws up, even without stomach contents he’s throwing up, has water, he throws up - he hasn’t weed since 9am when he did a poop. He’s very tired - this is a AnE trip right or am I overreacting ?

I’m already packing a bag as I write this but…am I being a panicked mum here

Going out during one and only nap

How do you do it?! I took my daughter out this morning and she fell asleep for 15 mins in the buggy at about 11am, and has been resisting her main nap today. Do you keep babies in the house in the morning to avoid this occurring? How do you do it?

Sleep!

Has anyone got any tips for easing tiredness for the newborn stage?? Me and my bf do shifts atm where we have about 6 hrs sleep each but we’re still absolutely knackered. I know this is just how it is going to be for a while but did anything help anyone? There’s only so much coffee I can drink and it’s not really cutting it🤣

4 month sleep advice!

I need 4 month baby sleep advice!
Chat gpt says one thing, an app says another. My baby is 4 months 2 weeks and feels like his sleep has been rubbish for like 5-6 weeks now. I did think yesterday maybe his day naps are too short, he’s had three short naps today (30 mins each x 3)
An app I have is saying he should have another short nap (6.38pm) but Chat gpt is saying an early bed time. He can normally go down between 6.00/7.45 depending on the day after a bath and feed but he wakes so much during the night.
The app is saying they need like 3 hours day time sleep then 10 nighttime, But he just seems to wake every 1.5-2 hours and only thing to settle is the boob. I try dummy and hand on chest first, sometimes works, most time doesn’t, same with a cuddle and rocking. Boob quietens him but half the time it’s soothing rather than feed. I unlatch him and let him sleep on me for about 15 minutes so it’s safe to transfer him without waking, also sometimes works, sometimes doesn’t. I don’t know what the right thing is to do. Feel like I’m losing my mind lol

Daily training- good progress

Daddy got the baby for the whole day yesterday and somehow did all 5 activities from the daily plan 🤣
She came back to me at bedtime fully ruined in the best way — passed out by 7pm, slept through the night, didn’t make a single peep until 6am.
Praying he keeps this up because mama needs another night like that 💜
