Sleep

My son just turned 10 months and till now he has never slept more than 4hours let alone all night😩
Past two weeks it’s been every 1-2hours and he has been fidgeting a lot! (We co-sleep)
His dad has been away so it’s just been me.. I am exhausted😔
I know it could be many reasons..teething , growth spurt etc but it’s never ending it’s literally one thing after the other.. when do things actually die down??😔😩
Then I hear some moms talking about how their babies have a routine, they sleep through the night ,how much they enjoy motherhood ..this n that and I am here holding on to dear life..*sighhhh
Just ranting but any advice will be much appreciated 💕💕

No advice but my 10 month old is up pretty much every 45 minutes with his longest stretch being 3ish hours and I get maybe one of those a week, I have no advice other than just to say I know it will pass one day and I’ll miss seeing him so often overnight (lol) we cosleep too because there’s no way I’d be able to resettle every 45 mins in a cot!
You’re not alone. It’s fucking rough, but you’ve got this!

No advice other than again you’re not alone, my little girl is 9 months I’m in exactly the same boat 🩷 exhausted is an understatement and I am finding this so hard compared to any other stage. Finding it so hard to re-settle in the night too whatever I do 😩 it took me 3 hours the other night 😵‍💫😵‍💫 I know it is so hard but I just try and remember they have no other way of communicating with us and it’s not forever (although sometimes it feels like the nights last forever!) x

When is too early for my ex partner to have my daughter overnight

Me and my ex broke up three weeks ago and he’s already asking to have her overnight. She is 8 months formula fed and semi co-sleeping

Since birth she has been very much dependent on me and breast fed for the first 3 months
Any advice?

How old is too young for overnights with dad ?

Moms, be honest has Ms. Rachel actually helped your baby?
Did you notice new words, signs, better communication, or anything else you could directly attribute to her? Or is she just a lifesaver when you need 20 minutes to get something done? 😂
I'd love to hear real experiences and how old your little one was when they started watching. 🤍

Hi Girls

When should I start putting my baby down to nap, atm i'm still contact napping every nap in the carrier because he either wakes as soon as I put him down or if he does stay asleep he only sleeps 30 mins or less, hes nearly 7 months, im actually completely fine contact napping but im feeling v bad about it as if im doing something wrong and I should be teaching him now 🤔

If your answer is keep contact napping then when long term should I stop? Hes going to Nursery at 9 months old

Hmm

Since giving birth me and my partner haven’t been very intimate and it’s starting to feel like a marriage of convenience at times. I’ve been complimented a lot of by other women. Don’t get me wrong I’m straight but women are beautiful and I’m starting to have second thoughts what it would be like to be intimate with another woman.

Am I too late ?

Hey ladies,

I’m nervous that I may have bit myself in the behind ! I’m 12 weeks and 5 days postpartum and I am trying relactate with pumping. I had a weird journey with latching and everything and after about 3-4 weeks of trying I ultimately gave up with latching. With pumping it was just so uncomfortable and painful at the time that I didn’t consistently do it. I was pumping max about 3-4 times a day spontaneously.

As stated above, Im 12+4 weeks postpartum and I am trying to build my supply or even make enough for her to have a few bottles per day/week. Any tips and tricks to building supply? I’m trying to get more calorie intake, also changed flanges so I now have my correct size and it is as comfortable as it should be to pump. I’ve been incorporating at least 2 power pump session a day ( 1 session is 60 minutes, the next is 40). I’m also trying to consistently pump more, yesterday I tracked 7 pumping sessions (which is way more than I’ve ever done in a day). I have the Eufy S1 pros, Hygeia Fit Pro, and the Lansinoh Signature Pro pumps. Lastly, I’ve been doing a MOTN pump. I am getting less than 1-2oz per pump.
