What is more torturous at night?

1) Waking up 1-2 times a night but each time it takes hours to get them back down

2) Wakes up every hour but they easily fall back asleep (with your help)

I've got one of each but I think I'd prefer 1. My daughter who is now 3 would wake up most of the time twice a night but took up to 2/2.5 hrs to go back down. She sleeps through now but she wants you in the room with her until she sleeps. She not bad with her naps when she was smaller.
My son who is now 10 months would literally wake up every hour maybe 2 but he would go down a lot easier than her. He doesn't nap so much in the day.
My cousin's little one would sleep through 6 till 6 at 3 months old and yep I thought you can shove your 12 hours up your ars 🤣

They are just as bad as each other 🥴

I think they’re both awful. I just wanna sleep 🥲. Last night my 6 week old only woke once but was awake for 4 hours screaming. I bounced on the ball for two hours and paced the house with him in the carrier but nothing settled him. I think he just passed out from exhaustion after 4 hours. So after my traumatic experience last night I’d say 1 is worse.

I can handle being woken up several times and then falling back asleep WAY more easily than the days where I’d be awake for 1 hour at a time per night feeding.

My kiddo is number 2 but occasionally will do no 1 and honestly 1 is so so much worse

I coped better when she was waking hourly than when she was having split nights and staying up just as I was falling asleep. That time was torture.

Got these for my little one

I brought these for my one year old to get her off the bottles she was on

I did a lot of research on them, and a few people recommended them for her age

Just wanted to see what mums thought on here about them before I start using them

Burning candles?

I know we shouldn’t because it’s not good for adults but especially babies but I miss burning a candle in the evening and we have a rented house that smells musty no matter how much we deep clean everything and air out the house for hours everyday. Does anyone burn a soy candle downstairs in the evening with windows being open whilst baby is upstairs asleep or do you think it’s too much of a risk? Any advice /opinions would be greatly appreciated (my baby is 9 months btw)

Agitated when breastfeeding

My 5 week old son is breastfed and expressed milk fed via bottle and normal is content on the breast but today out of nowhere he is really agitated and screams as if he isn’t getting any milk but I use a nipple shield and can see the milk is there. Any advice? I don’t want to have to give up breastfeeding 😢

Antibiotic effect on breastmilk

I have been taking amoxicillin for a week now and my EBF baby has seemed to be coincidentally having GI issues? Larger spit ups, visibly and audibly uncomfortable, straining to poop/pas gas, lots of mucous in stool etc etc. he’s happy but also very uncomfortable. Anyone else have this issue?? Yesterday was my last day so I’m hoping he feels better soon. I feel so bad 😢
