Dehydrated over night?

My boy, 5 weeks old, has been sleeping really well through the night but woke up this morning with a dry nappy so I tickled his tummy with a wipe and he did a wee but it was not much and had the tiniest bit of urate crystals. I'll be contacting hv at 9 but does anyone have any suggestions? Should I be waking him for a night feed?
He slept 10:30pm till 5am which is great but I'm worried it's dehydrating him. Anyone had a similar experience?

I would probably wake in this situation. My last baby slept really well like this but continued to have full nappies. I would have woken her if her nappies were dry at this age. It’s not a problem I have to think about this time around with my big hungry boy 😂

I would feed him at least once during the night? Unless it’ll be hard for him to sleep again?

Wow well done to him for sleeping so well! Is he getting enough feeds during the day? I would also wake him if it’s a consistent issue

Bottle refusal

My baby was primarily chest fed but got 1-2 bottles a day. At 12 weeks she started refusing bottles, when we try she just plays with it/gags/or screams. We’ve tried having different people feed her, different bottles, different flows of nipples, different temperature of the milk, fresh milk versus refrigerated, scalding the milk, formula, movement while feeding, and different positions and nothing works. I have to go back to work in 4 weeks. My husband will take over for 6 weeks and then she’ll go to daycare. I do not have the option of extending leave and can’t just have my husband bring her to work to feed. I’m already anxious about leaving her but this is making it worse. Has anyone been able to resolve this issue? Are they just going to have a hard couple days and then she’ll get with it?

Mom Guilt

My daughter just had her 2 month check up, and she’s measuring at the 32 percentile. She was born 7lbs 9oz but she’s only 10lbs now. I know our doctor said it s fine, but I can’t help but feel she should be chunkier? A part of me feels like it’s my fault for giving up on breastfeeding so quickly (due to a mastectomy I knew my circumstances were special and yes I was lactating just probably less than others). She was induced so suddenly due to my preeclampsia getting really bad, so I didn’t have a breast pump until she was already over a week old. I just feel so guilty :( she’s on formula and she eats ok, but I just can’t shake the feeling that I could’ve done better. Just needed to rant and maybe someone relates to how I feel

Sleep

Can anyone recommend something my baby will actually sleep in?
My baby won’t sleep in a next to me, not a Moses basket, not a deluxe pod, she won’t sleep in any of them.
Does anyone have any recommendations on a crib or anything that babies can safely sleep in for long periods of time (overnight) that worked like a dream for there baby who’s fussy?

Pls help a girl out immediately 🤣🥲
