4am wake up

My baby is 9 weeks old and wakes up by 4am every single day, she will fall asleep on me around 5.30 but won’t settle back in her cot. When will this phase pass and is there anything I can do to push it later? She has her last big feed at 1am so she shouldn’t be hungry.

Kendamil Milk

Do you prepare Kendamil formula with water at 70°C?

Drinking and breastfeeding

What’s your experience having a drink or two while breastfeeding? I had almost 3 drinks tonight and can’t decide if I need to pump and dump. I have enough to just dump it out but idk if that’s the right thing? Pls lmk

Trust gone or over reacting?

So my partner already has children and this is my first just turned a month out. LO is a month old and the wind he has been suffering with lately is awful!! Barely settled in the day. I do all night time routine and my partner sleeps has done since day one. So last night my partner said he will stay up with him about 9;30 pm as he is a night owl anyway and will bring LO up when he comes up to let me get a bit of sleep. I said to bring him up as soon as he shouts or drops off, I'm am against co sleeping and we also have two cats who think baby is a warm snuggly friend. I have just woken up at 1:30 to no baby in the room gone downstairs and he is a sleep on sofa with LO set up between pillows next to him!! At his feet I am so cross as it's so unsafe and my partner jumps about in his sleep, let alone perfect spot for the cats to get on top of baby trying to cuddle him!. I brought baby straight upstairs and went back down to wake my partner so he didn't freak out when he woke up and there was no baby. His response I've only been asleep two hours and Im already a parent and have more experience then you. Am I right to be fuming with him? Feel like he has broken my trust with baby

I tickled someone’s baby 🤦‍♀️🤦‍♀️

Ok so in the line to pick up my child from school I was talking to another Mum who was holding her baby, probably about 8-9 months old and she was smiling at me so I just out of habit gave her a little tickle on her tummy without even thinking. Afterwards I remembered that this Mum is very particular about people touching her baby and I’ve heard her telling her son not to touch until he’d washed his hands. I’ve noticed she’s been a bit different with me since and not as friendly. Should I address it with her or just let it go?

Baby routines

Hey ladies! Be completely honest-whether the answer is yes or no I want to know...are you really able to keep your baby in a schedule at this point? My baby will sometimes feed have an ounce..and leave the rest of the bottle behind..go to sleep, wake up and then decide she wants more milk then sleep again. Other times she wakes up content won't feed for longer than I think and then gulp down 5 ounces. The length of naps have been shortening now too..45 minutes.. sometimes an hour and today 20-30 minutes mostly.
