Night feeds

Hi all,
FTM here… my little boy is 2 weeks old today and is waking up between 4-5hours during the night for a feed! Last night I fed him at 9:30pm then put him down, he then woke up at 2:30am and my partner gave him a bottle and I have just fed him again at 6:30am. Do I need to be waking him more? He was 7lb1oz at birth and is now 7lb8oz (probably a bit more now) He has lots of wee’s and poo’s during the day and night too!
Thank you x

No,
I would wait for him to wake up .
He clearly is settled with 3 bottles till tomorning. As long as he is putting weight on, he shud be okay

Thank you, my instinct said no but being new at this other opinions are handy sometimes!

That's what I've been told - once they are back to birth weight you don't have to wake them extra for feeds, just go with what LO does. Congrats & enjoy your rest!

Let him sleep 😊 he's at least 7oz above his birth weight now and will wake to tell you when he needs to feed. Sounds like he's doing really well - well done!

Is this what it’s supposed to be like?

I don’t like motherhood. I don’t like how it feels. My birth was traumatic and I get flashbacks of it everyday. Every single day. I felt like I was punished for wanting a baby. I feel so much shame I will never have one again. I also have a lot of anxiety. If I stay in anxious. Get outside anxious. Child friendly activity anxious. Grocery store anxious. I feel like I can’t escape except when I smoke. My question is, is this what it’s supposed to feel like and moms pretend they’re happy or did I unfortunate get the short end of the stick? Pls respond I’ve been suffering like this for over a year.

Words at 1.5 years old?

How many words can/could your 1.5 year old say?

My HV said that our baby should have 50 words by 2. I’m worried our 1.5 year old is nowhere near this right now.

venting

i feel like my opinion doesnt matter. if i want to call the doctor about something that worries me its just ‘oh she’s fine, you always do that, that’s what the matter with you’ or did i ask his mom first. its always someone else telling me that she’s fine when i think she’s not. that i just get overlooked or ignored because im a first time mom.
