5 hours

45 minutes 🤣

He goes down for my husband earlier on in the evening for about 4-5 hours

5 hours first stretch 4 hours second stretch

Around 5-7hrs between 10pm & 7am. But not all in one stretch.

Between 3 and 6 hours per stretch. All depends though. He has once slept from 12-7. He woke at 3am. Started stiring. I got up to make a bottle and by the time it was made he was back to sleep. But usually he goes to bed at 7/8 then has a feed at 12 before I go to sleep then gets up once about 3 or 4 ish. Then up for the day at 7

Normally 5-6 hours, then up for a feed, then another 3 hours. He's 7 weeks.

1-2

Mine is sleeping 3-4 hours at first stretch then it’s every 2 hours at night and the rest of the day

4-6 hours for the first stretch at night and then maybe another 3 hours+ after a dream feed.
I am shocked though as my first was every two hours at this age.

I got 10h last night 😅 its usually between 6-8 though x

Nap location during the day

Where do people put their baby to sleep during the day?

She’s outgrowing her Moses basket at 16 weeks, and think she hates sleeping in anything she can touch the sides of.

Any ideas other than her pram? She wakes in that too because of the sides.

For those that have older talking kids, if u used to watch tv occasionally while your baby was there, did that make tyem talk late ?

I don’t let my son watch tv that much , he’s 7 months but o let him watch occasionally like while I’m making his food or taking a shower and for just a short period of time .. .. he’s already babbling a lot and he’s so interactive… I’m just curious to see how it went for other babies ..

Weird, or not?

Our LO is 17 months. Typically, after dinner I take her up to the bathroom for a bath, and dad does dishes. The other day I offered to swap, assuming he would enjoy bath time. He told me he doesn’t want to give her baths because it’s “weird” for him to be giving her a bath because she’s a girl. I could understand if she were old enough to be bathing herself, but she’s not even 2. I find it really odd that he thinks that it’s “weird” to give his child a bath. Is this a red flag? Should I be concerned?

Feeding on demand

Nicu mum here 👋🏻 my little one is nearly 4months and we’ve been doing 3 hour feeds until last week and we moved to 4 hour feeds for two days. Specialist said our boy was doing great so told us to move to demand feeding… now his not drinking as much and it doesn’t seem enough in mls as we have to track everything. We are now trying different bottles. He was doing part puramino and part expressed breast milk and they told us to go full expressed breastmilk.
Has anyone else had similar and can offer advice? I’m trying not to stress but I can’t help it 😩😩 his sometimes going less than two hours between feeds as we can’t get him to drink enough.

Sleep

Why won’t my baby sleep past 5:00am!!😩 he’s 4 months old and I think we are right in the sleep regression but he hasn’t really gone past 5:00/5:30 ever! His bedtime is normally 7:30, but this doesn’t matter as if we are out and come home a bit later he still wakes up at the crack of dawn!! Anyone the same?

Dummy for breastfed baby

What dummies are your babies taking that breastfeed? And have you any tips on getting them to take the dummy if they were reluctant at first?
Feel like we've tried every brand available and she's spat every one out. She's soothing herself on my boob last thing at night and it can get quite painful (as she gets lazy and tired with her latch as she falls asleep), I'm hoping a dummy would help this.
