Advice about how to wean my boy off his night feed

My LO is 7 months and sometimes sleeps through the night and sometimes wakes for milk once a night. Most times he wakes up anywhere between 11pm-1am for a feed and sometimes he wakes u0 around 4am for a feed. We decided to stop dream feeding a few months back because we didn't want to reinforce night feeds. Since he's clearly able to sleep through the night occasionally I don't feel like he needs the feed it's maybe more habitual. Also I think it depends on how well he's eaten solids that day that might play a part on his sleep because I've tried filling him up on milk during the day but that doesn't make a difference. He can even sleep through the night on less than his usual intake sometimes. Any tips on how to wean him off without it becoming a big battle or do I just leave him and let him lead because I'm worried he won't stop by himself?

Newborn and sleep

Hey ladies
2 days post partum, I know people say sleep when baby sleeps but did anyone else struggle to relax when baby is sleeping due to concerns around if baby is ok, if they spit up in sleep, etc. etc. I can’t switch off and just looking for some reassurance thank

Was I wrong?

I yelled at my SD today because she was in my babies face. My baby turns 1 in a few weeks and has been sick every other month because of my SD. Since I met my SD (about 4 yrs now) she’s been sick with a cough for about 85% of the time. At 4 months, she gave my baby Covid and my baby has been sick every other month because she’s constantly sick since her mother allows her to go outside without properly covering up, or without giving her any medicine.

I have told my partner plenty of times to be the person to push boundaries when she is sick since she’ll just be all over my baby. Today I had enough because my baby is sick once again due to my SD coughing and not covering her face and constantly being in my babies face.

So I yelled at her, “get out of her face, you’re sick and you got her sick too!” I rarely ever raise my voice at her and she just stopped stunned. My partner just said “she’s right she keeps telling you” and that was it. Two seconds later, she’s back all over the baby and he’s back to not saying nothing. So I grabbed my baby and locked us in the room. He just sat there like where you going we’re hanging out? But like come on?! He doesn’t even hear her wake up and cry out of discomfort in the middle of the night. So am I wrong for being upset that now my Mother’s Day consists of me taking care of a sick baby because of his negligent parenting and her lack of boundaries no matter how many times I repeat myself?!?!

Changing newborn a second time post feed?

(Formula fed baby) - Our newborn is usually changed and then fed in the middle of the night but recently as they’re drinking more, they tend to then need changing a second time post feed as we can hear them 💩 half way through. We’ve found changing them the second time then stops them going down after the feed. Is there anything we can do to help them go down after? What do others doing in this case? Would you feed more?

Bras!

Hey all, I’m in my first trimester (almost 10
Weeks) with my first pregnancy and my boobs have been so painful and every day they feel heavier. I am still currently wearing my usual bra and bra size but at what point do you change bra sizes? And how do you know how big they need to be? Do you have to get new bras every few months?

Any help would be greatly appreciated, thank you 🥰

Waking at 5am every day

Anyone else’s 8 month old waking up at 5am every single day? No matter what time he goes to sleep he wakes up at 5am. He usually goes to sleep at 7pm ish after been awake for 2.5-3 hours and then he usually sleeps through until 5.
Last night he went to sleep at 7 after been awake 3 hours, woke up at 10:30pm and then 3:40am and then 5 so even though he was awake in the night he still woke at 5😩
I don’t know how to get him to sleep longer than 5am!

Trouble Transitioning

My baby is almost 6 months old and he was in his moses basket till last night. He's always been a decent sleeper. Till we put him in his next to me. Safe to say I've been awake most of the night. I could maybe put him back in his moses basket for another week. But he's already too big for it.. Suggestions?
