I can’t believe she’s almost 4 months!

The feeling of doom, the sundown scaries, the anxiety, the ‘what have I done’ feeling… is all slowly coming to an end. It was rough the first few weeks. But I guess people were right when they said ‘everything’ will be ok with time. It’s not 100% easier, just more tolerable as baby is learning to communicate in ways she knows how without crying constantly. I’m slowly learning her cues and she’s showing more of a personality which is making this a bit more pleasant.
I can’t believe I’ve come this far with her. And how healthy and happy she looks.

Sorry guys, it’s just been a very LONG few months with a baby that had bad reflux.

Isn’t it just so incredible!! Such a rollercoaster but absolutely the best most rewarding thing in the world 😍 … it really tests you in ways you never could’ve imagined and you really discover your strength and resilience in that newborn stage!!!

Well done for getting through it mama! Sounds like both you and baby are thriving 💕

Waking baby for feed

Hi all
I’m finding it difficult to let go of the 2-3 hour wake ups over night! My baby is 4 1/2 weeks and typically still wakes up every 3hrs 20mins for a feed. However sometimes he will sleep longer and I find myself worrying about why he hasn’t woken up and if I should wake him. Are you all letting your little ones sleep longer once they’re over birth weight?

Thank you ☺️

Never a second from Baby 💔🥹

Hey everyone 💫💗

I find that I’m constantly with my 10week old constantly. She’s feeding on demand and find when breastfeeding and trying to get the wind up I’m unable to get enough out for her to settle down for the 2-3hrs ☹️💔 not to mention I’m sleep deprived running on crumbs. As we speak it’s 4am she’s just had some milk and she fell asleep and didn’t burp. I have 0 friends mind you and feel absolutely helpless and lonely. I’m going through PPD as well unfortunately which sucks.

Thanks for the advice in advance 💗💗

Heat

Anyone else’s baby completely knocked out with this heat?

I don’t know if it’s normal or not but my little boy was asleep for 1.5 hours earlier before. Then he woke up for his bum done (only 1 wee in the nappy after 3 hours) and bottle so he was awake for a total of 40 minutes and then he’s fell asleep and has been asleep for 2.5 hours as that’s him out for the night but he hasn’t had a wet nappy in 3 hours. His nappy is still bone dry and he had a 7oz bottle right before he went back to sleep.

He has also been extremely whingy today with squealing and crying constantly.

Is this normal? I don’t remember it being like this with my daughter in 2024 when it was really hot weather.
