Dream feeds?

Does anyone do formula dream feeds when they go to bed & Does it work?
My LO is 12 weeks and sleeps around 7 hours on the first stretch (sometimes up to 10hr sometimes 5hrs) but with his bedtime that makes it around 3am - I wondered if offering a ‘dreamfeed’ like huckleberry suggested would help extend so he could maybe start going longer or even sleeping through til morning but im scared i mess his routine up or i wake him too much and he thinks its morning or something, sleep is a fragile beast haha

Not necessarily with formula but I've woken both my babies before I went to bed and they both sleep/slept through my night since 10 weeks. Definitely worth a try, just keep the lights low and avoid talking

Normal grandad behaviour

Apologies for this post, I've never had grandparents and my child does - so I dont know whats normal.

I have a toddler (2), her grandad; tickles her (randomly in random situations), kisses her (requests if when saying bye), pats bum , hugs (requests it), and whispers to her (randomly)

Unsure if this is normal. Please note I am also freshly postpartum with postpartum anxiety and all this news about paedophilia is really getting me worried.

Today made a joke when she was eating ice cream "wide mouth, come inside".

When does it get easier

Baby is 10 weeks and although she is considered a good baby I still can't deal with the crying to get her to sleep at night and the constant battles of sleeping during the day. I'm getting at least 6 hours of broken sleep a night but I am broken 😅😅. I love the happy moments she is such fun but the bad moments are so bad they ruin the thought of the happy moments

Just need a rant

Feels like I'm living currently just to do everything to get her to sleep and my life revolves around figuring out how to get her to sleep next as no two times are the same

Which is more disgusting...

I know this is a weird one so hear me out.
Imagine you're out in public, what's worse? Smelling a strangers fart or smelling their burp?

There is something soooo disgusting about a burp with a smell that I just can't comprehend🤢

Refusing bottle

I need some advice, (HV are not help). I have a 4 month old (EBF)& let’s just say I’m exhausted & need to sleep or get my life back a bit but she will not take a bottle at all. I keep trying her with a bottle, she used to take it when she was 3 weeks old but then had oral thrush for 2 months & wasn’t feeding well on breast & completely refused bottle. Husband has tried, we’ve tried formula & breast milk, different bottles, different teats & still nothing! Help! Mama needs some sleep 😭
