Sleeping through the night

How is everyone’s babies sleeping? I have an 11 week old, and he’s not sleeping through the night yet! Although I’ve also seen people say that their baby sleeps through the night but still wakes for feeds so I’m not sure if I’ve got a different concept of sleeping though 😅 my LO will have a feed around 11pm, 3am and 6am. Has anyone got any tips on how to make the stretches longer, or is that normal for his age? I would loveee to get a long stretch of sleep because he also fusses in between so I’m not sleeping🤣 he’s drinking 5oz of milk every 3-4 hours so I’m not sure if he’s just not drinking enough to sustain over night.

It’s very normal. My first baby didn’t sleep longer than 1-2 hours until he was just over 2! They’re all so different. It’s developmentally normal and protective of SIDS to wake frequently x

That’s completely normal for the age especially in this heat is baby breast or bottle?

We’re 12 weeks and a good stint is 3 hrs, rest are 1-1.5 hr

We are pretty much the same ! My boy is 11 weeks and generally does 23:00 02:00 and 5am then goes back to sleep but generally lays awake chatting to himself. One time he skipped the 2am one and slept through - no idea how or why but an absolute fluke! We do everything enough calories in the day, good naps in the day, wind down for bedtime with bath and massage etc and that just seems to be what he is sticking with! Id love to skip to 2am one and no idea how people do but seems pretty normal! X

Mine is 16wks, I might get a 4-5hr stretch if I can keep him asleep during the dream feed! But sometimes he wakes up during it and wants to then play.
If he falls into deep sleep early like 10pm will awke for feed at 3ish if its closer to midnight then might wake 4-5am. If he sleeps early I try to offer a dream feed after 1130pm to keep him sleep till 4/5am but I still have to be up for it. I will also try to feed him his overnight feed 3 or 4/5am before he fully wakes up.

14 month old wake up

Anyone got any tips on how to get my 14 month old to sleep past half 5?🙈 he goes bed every night between 7-7:30 and will have 2x 1 hour naps throughout the day.
I would like to get ready for work without chasing my child in the morning🤣

My 10 week old daughter won’t sleep

Hi! So my daughter is refusing sleep and we have tried everything possible, currently 3 am and she’s been awake since 11 pm, I’ve fed her, changed her nappy, took her for a walk and even read her stories but nothing seems to be helping and it is so overwhelming, I’ve just started my period too so it’s really hard to rock her and hold her as I suffer with severe period pains and bleeding, I just feel like the worst mom for not being able to help her sleep.

Advice please! Baby won’t stop breastfeeding …

My 8 week old baby won’t stop breastfeeding he has CMPA and reflux so unable to bottle feed as we can’t seem to get a milk he agrees with but he literally wants to feed 24/7. Always hungry and always wanting to be on the boob. What can I do ? I feel like I have no life as we can’t do anything or go anywhere without him wanting feeding.

What’s your view on breastfeeding?

I EBF my first for 9 months

I only managed 3 months with my second. She is 10 months now and I still feel incredibly guilty for not doing it for longer.

30 degree room!

Our flat hit 30 degrees in the night, it’s still 29 now at 7am. This makes me incredibly anxious for my baby. Does anyone have any tips to help cool baby?? We have one oscillating fan.

Some people are not withholding an apology from you. They are incapable of giving you the apology you need.

We like to believe that if people could see the damage they caused, they would take responsibility for it and we spend time trying to show people what they did.

But what if the same brokenness, immaturity, pride, trauma, shame, or emotional dysfunction that caused the wound is the very thing preventing accountability?

An apology requires self-awareness. It requires humility. It requires the ability to sit with guilt without running from it or trying to be defensive.

It requires a person to say, “I was wrong,” without blaming their childhood, their stress, their intentions, the devil, or even you.

The truth is that many people don’t lack intelligence. They lack the emotional and spiritual capacity for accountability. They're underdeveloped!!

This is why some people pray, worship, serve in church, quote Scripture, and still cannot say, “I hurt you.”

Not because they don’t know God.

But because they have never learned how to face themselves.

One of the most painful realities in healing is realizing that some of the people you’re waiting on for closure are emotionally unequipped to provide it.

And if your healing depends on their apology, your healing is still in their hands. You're trapped in time.

Perhaps forgiveness is not agreeing with what happened. Perhaps forgiveness is accepting that some people are too wounded, too defended, too ashamed, or too committed to protecting their ego due to shame.

Do you believe people refuse to apologize because they are unwilling to take responsibility, or because they genuinely lack the emotional and spiritual capacity for accountability?

Some people are not withholding an apology from you. They are incapable of giving you the apology you need.
