Night feeds

My baby is 4 months old and wakes up twice in the night for a bottle. When he wakes up for a feed, he is very impatient and won’t wait for me to make him a bottle (I am formula feeding). He is perfectly fine as soon as the bottle is ready and he is being fed. Can anyone suggest anything I can do as it stressing me out

Have you tried pre masking the bottles and putting them in the fridge before you got to bed x

I think this is very normal and what every single baby does, babies belly’s empty quickly so when they’re hungry it physically hurts.
I have a 5 week old and he screams the house down until he gets that bottle.
The only advice I have is to just try and block out the noise as best you can. I know it’s super stressful.. it’s not forever. You’re doing the best you can mumma 💙

I pre-made bottles using the nuby rapid cool and a thermos, I combi-fed so could put them on the boob until the bottle was ready but maybe pre-made and in a thermos to keep the heat is the way to go? 🙌🏼

What about try using the ready made formulas you can buy in the bottles through out the night. No need to warm just pour into a bottle.

Baby has not pooped on 9 days

Has anyone has this experience? My baby is 6weeks old. He has not pooped in 9 days. I have seen the GP 3 times and their recommendation is to let him poop on his own as the laxatives are too strong for him.
I do the usual tummy rub and bicycle exercise. But he just farts alot.

Unsettled baby

Anyone else in the same boat? I’m really struggling with how ‘unsettled’ baby is. She cries a lot, even when we have tried everything. She’s a bit of a fomo baby so fights naps too 🙄

I feel really uncomfortable going out anywhere because 90% of the time she cries and I can’t do anything to settle her.
I feel self conscious when in public and it’s making feel isolated, I don’t want to go to baby groups because I feel that she will cry the whole time.

Nap schedule help please 🙏

My baby is 6.5 months old. I have followed huckleberry loosely as I find the articles useful to read for each month. Especially the recommended wake window times for each age. I still have always gone off his sleep cues whilst having those recommendations in mind. I have never paid for the sweet spot as I have followed my instincts. He used to only nap on me when he was younger and then I started putting him in his crib for naps and he used to only managed 45 minutes. Now he is sleeping longer and Huckleberry recommends 1 hour 15 in morning then 1 hour 30 and then a 30 minute nap to get through to bedtime. I am waking him up from the naps and sometimes finding the 30 minute nap hard to get him down and not beneficial as then it gives him later bed time. But sometimes it does help stop him be over tired. Is anyone else baby this age on two long naps at this point? It recommends he sleeps about 3.5 hours in day time. Just to add I have also started making sure he is awake 7am because it was affecting the rest of the days sleep etc.

Baby feeding like mad in the heat
