Feeding

Would you say this is normal feeding for 9 weeks. Feels like not a lot at all

I would say that's plenty, so long as your little one is gaining weight and isn't giving hunger cues after each feed, for context, I pump as well as breast feed and I pump 145ml in 6-9mins so you may be surprised how much your little one is getting as they often get more than you can in the same amount of time pumping! So long as little one has a good latch and suckling rhythm they will get a good amount very quickly depending on how fast you let down.

I'm the exact same, I think so long as she's gaining weight then she's probably having a full feed in under 15mins, my little girl was 8lb at birth.. She's now 4 weeks and is 11lb so she's gained a lot of weight and she's the same feeds for 5-15mins at a time, when she's on the boob for longer it's nearly always for comfort not feeding!

So fed up

Baby only contact naps in a dark room. I'm so over it.

Why can't it be one or the other.
Nap in the dark OR contact nap.
Its not right, it's not healthy.

He's nearly 4 months and I've tried a few times to get him out if this habit but it never sticks!

I don't want this anymore. I dread EVERY nap. I love him and love being a mum during wake windows but when nap time rolls around I find myself regretting being a mum and I feel terrible for it, but I can't do this anymore hours on end in the dark every day for months on end. 😭😭😭

Second hand baby stuff

I am curious what everyone thinks on second hand baby stuff like, car seat, push chair, cot etc. babies grow very fast, they grow out many things in just few months and kinda feel like it is a waste of money and not good for the environment. And also think as first time mum he/she is going to be my only child so I should get whatever is the best. On a dilemma 🤷‍♀️

4m sleep regression...

I think we might have hit it. How is everyone else surviving!? Is it too early to sleep train!?

How much do I actually need to buy?

First time mum, due in September and trying to not over spend. What is everyone’s opinions on how much you actually need to buy. I’m thinking along the lines of baby grows, how many will I actually need? And any other items which you’ve found you end up buying more of for no reason.
Thank you!!

Nap times

Anyone mastered nap times for their baby?
Mine constantly fights sleep and I am trying to work out a schedule/routine to make it a bit easier on all of us. Please share yours.

Bruises on child at nursery

I don't know if I am being paranoid.

My son is 2, going through his terrible two phase, so can be a lil challenging at times.

The nursery failed it's offset recently in terms of managing behaviours.

I notice this week he came home with multiple bruises on each leg. Like 5 on one and 4 on the other.

While I know bruises are common and children can play rough with each other, it tends to only happen when he is at nursery.

My mind instantly went to is someone harming him at nursery. As they can't deal with his tantrums.

Am I being a paranoid mum?

What would you do?

Any tips or recommendations?
