Breastfeeding mums

Just wanted to check what routine your babies are on with food/milk if they’re still breastfeeding. My little boy (just turned 11 months) does….
Breakfast
Boob at morning nap time
Lunch
Boob at afternoon nap time
Dinner
Boob at bedtime
And then usually one more feed in the middle of the night.

I have no idea if he’s having too many feeds now though, because he’s having 3 proper meals (and has a big appetite!)
But when we’re out and about he’ll happily nap in the pram without a feed first…so I don’t know if he should be dropping one?!
Any help appreciated x

We do the same except boob first thing before breakfast rather than overnight, we just rock him back to sleep now. Xx

Hey, I had a HV visit today and asked this exact question! She said that BF babies are so different to formula. So where formula should be on 3/4 bottles daily, as longs as baby is eating 3 solid meal- a BF baby can have as many feeds as they want

5am day starts

My 7 week old seems to wake for the day from 5am unless i put him in the sling he will then go sleep.

Will this eventually change and settle into a normal time if maybe 6/7am?

I have a 2yr old as well so praying this will change because my days are becoming sooo long. My toddler happily sleeps till 7/8am usually 😴

Am I crazy?

We sent a list of boundaries & expectations (rules lmao) to my in-laws before the baby comes. The last one was if the baby is fussy or needs to be changed or fed, then hand them to me, De Mama. My MIL said it was “odd” that we would ask for the baby to come to me and not her son, and then she asked why me. My husband told her because I’ll be around the baby the most and it makes the most sense. I said because I’ve held that baby for 10 months and I want them. I know it’s none of her business WHY we implement rules for our home and I know I shouldn’t care because it’s MY home and MY baby but help an anxious, 32-days-left girly out. Am I nuts? Is this an unreasonable rule?

Does anyone regret having more children at 40 or above

Just had 4 th baby at 40 . We have 7 kids between my partner and I. But I'd love to have a little girl. My joints are so sore this time round from being pregnant. Just don't know how my body would cope.. we would have to start soon though as the clock is ticking.. we lost a few before our little man came along.. what would you do

Reccos for breastfeeding tops / bras

Hi all, slowly getting my head round what works to breastfeed in public but would love some more help

Looking for supportive tops with in built bra support for slightly larger ladies (DD+) that you can wear without a breastfeeding bra and just yoik it up!

Also looking for a good strapless bra you can feed in by easily pulling down? And along with that any good feeding bras in general!

And any reccos for how to feed in a dress discretely! Thanks so much

Washing and raining

If your clothes are out on the line and get wet from the rain. Do you rewash them? I’m not talking a little wet, say you went out and it poured down. But then you left on the line and they half dried again.
