Breastfeeding at night

My baby is exclusively breastfed, but is still waking every 2/3 hours in the night. Should he be going longer through the night?

Any tips to help me get him to do longer stretches at night time?

No, that’s completely normal unfortunately and I’m right there with you. BF babies tend to drink less milk than formula fed babies so they wake up more during the night.
Just par for the course!

All babies are different. Breastmilk breaks down quicker than formula aswell.
My daughter could be awake every hour or 4. My son didn't sleep through till he was 2 🤦‍♀️ x

I BF my first and current baby.
My first slept 8-10hrs from 10 weeks. My current almost 11 week old will do a 5-6hr stretch and then it’s hit and miss afterwards with anything from 2-4hrs. They’re all so different to each other that it’s hard to compare x

My little girl typically will sleep for about 4 hours and then wake every 2 hours after that. But having said that I also find that every night is different x

Baby peeing a lot

Is it normal for an almost 11 week old baby to soak through nappy, bodysuit and sleepsuit several times a day?

7 month old wake windows

Struggling to understand how long wake windows are for my 7 month old baby girl, she’s fighting most naps too and we aren’t able to get her to self settle xx

Struggling

My 6 week old baby constantly wants to feed during the day. She’s ebf so I’m doubting if she’s getting enough because every time I put her down she wakes up crying for me 😬 my other 2 children weren’t like this. I’m finding I can’t even go to the loo without her waking up screaming for me. Should I just leave her to cry it out?? Any tips?

Has anyone used one of these?

A coworker suggested one of these for our flight this weekend to Canada. Was wondering if anyone used one and if it was useful or not. Do airlines allow anything like this??

Baby scratching face

My 3 month old keeps scratching her face. I keep her nails as short as I can. I trim them with nail clippers daily and file them down with a glass file so there aren’t sharp corners but she keeps managing to scratch herself still. I’ve tried putting scratch mittens on and using the sleep suits with the bits that fold over her hands but she hates them and will scream until I take them off. Does anyone know of anything that will help me get her nails shorter safely or something to cover her hands which might be more comfortable that she won’t hate?
