Do you wake up your baby to breastfeed at night?

My baby is 6 weeks, I tried to wake him up a couple times but he was so deep asleep I couldn’t wake him up properly, he was sucking for less then 5 minutes and then fell asleep again.
Another time I woke him up and after feeding he was fully awake for almost 2 hours and since then he wakes me up when he’s hungry.
What is your experience with night time feeding sessions ?

My son was like this and i had to use a baby wipe to keep him up. Brush it on their cheeks when they get sleepy, it wakes them back up! My doctor said it was fine to let them sleep through the night if its night time and they will wake up if their hungry. Besides that it definitely worked for me during the day and actually helped me to get both my kids sleeping through the night at 2-3 months!

Have you seen this episode and do you have any sympathy for the parents?

They said their baby usually has a 2 hour nap around that time so they thought she would just sleep in the tent and then lost track of time...

Phobias

Any mums out there with phobias? How did you get over your phobias? And any tips on how to not pass them onto your little one?

Newborn sleeping

So I'm moving into a two bed flat and gonna have a nursery set up for lil bubba and I've already brought a cot at the ready for it! I've seen that your baby should sleep in the same room with you until they are 6 months old or so but I asked my family and a lot of them said they didn't do that (including when I was a baby), I was just wondering what other people did when they had a newborn as I'm confused on what to do?😭

Overtired

My daughter is 1 month old tomorrow and this has happened twice so far. She’s tired to the point where she’s crying for a good half an hour and the only thing that gets her to fall asleep is either walking around with here or putting her in her pram and rocking it back and forth. Any tips and tricks?

Toddlers hitting

So I’m looking for more things to try to stop my son from hitting, he has just turned 2. I feel like I have tried every method that I can think of to stop him from hitting and I’m not sure what to do anymore so I would like some suggestions from some more experienced parents! He has also recently started not specifically spitting, but like blowing raspberries, causing him to spit any advice is appreciated!
