Feeding

My little one is 8 weeks old and I’ve noticed she doesn’t wake up for feeds during the night now. She can go 7-8 hours without waking up, is that normal? I’ve tried to wake her up in btw to give her for a feed as I get worried she’s not drinking enough. She will sometimes take to it.

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?

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 🤣🥲

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

No period

Still no period 12 weeks after c section and I’m not breastfeeding I’m bottle feeding I rang gp they said give it longer but just little worried I should have had one

What do I do

Help please

My little one is 8 and a half months old, and every single night she’s having these like 2 hour wakes in the middle of the night around 2am.. shes not crying she’s not really tired she’s just wide awake looking around trying to grab things, she’s not overly hungry although I do feed to try help settle but doesn’t normally work.

I can’t stand and rock her for two hours, I’m exhausted 🫩 should I just let her go feral for 2 hours and let her play by herself with something?

I’ve tried more/less daytime sleep, I’ve tried earlier/later bedtime just nothing seems to help, it’s not every single night but maybe 4/5 out of 7 😢

Any advice would really help
