Sleeping through the night

My baby is sleeping through the night completely now, from 8:30-6:30. This means he’s dropped 2 feeds, but is still having the same amount during the day. Shall I offer more during the day as he’s technically having less now? He doesn’t seem to want anymore in the day though.

If he doesn’t seem to want more he probably doesn’t need it. My boys upped themselves during the day when they started going longer at night . They’re now sleeping 6-9 hours and have changed to wanting 3 hourly bottles instead of 4 to make up for it although I’m trying to keep the 4 hour schedule 😅

My baby just won’t sleep through the night or nap during the day 😂

Best advice is to just follow their lead ❤️ they will let you know if they want to have more/less. Make the most of having amazing sleep! One thing I learnt with my first is that sleep is constantly changing 😅 and to make the most of it when they do sleep.

Sleeping through crying newborn

I spent a lot of time on the post natal ward which turned me into a really heavy sleeper (was a really light sleeper before). And now I sleep through my baby crying - anyone else just completely does not hear their child cry or am I a bad mum?! Luckily I always wake up to my husband feeding her 🙃…

Episiotomy healing

I gave birth a week and 2 days ago and out of no where my episiotomy has got infected and I have a gaping hole where the stitches have failed and it’s oozing pus. Maternity triage said no fever so just take some antibiotics and pain killers which feels wild to just leave an open wound?!

Does anyone else have any at home healing tips?

I’m so upset as I feel so limited by my body to care for my newborn 😢

4 month sleep regression

Sleeping through the night?

Is anyones baby sleeping through the night? I went to a class today and everyone was saying there baby sleeping through the night or doing 7/8 hour stretches no feeds. But my baby is still walking twice in night?

Crawling

Ahhh my newborn is trying to crawl!!! 😭😭 I am NOT ready!!

He’s on his knees but doesn’t know that his arms need to move! He’s just going backwards 🤣
Anybody else’s baby crawling/starting to crawl yet?

2-Month sleep regression

Hey, first time mum! 👋🏻

My daughter is currently in the two month sleep regression stage, is completely refusing naps & seems to cluster feed throughout the day.

My partner also works nights so I’m alone with her throughout the night & majority of the day whilst he sleeps, so I’m unable to put her into her cot throughout the daytime as our spare bedroom is still unfinished (only been in our house for a year, eek!) 😖

She still also wakes throughout the night for feeds, maybe two/three times.

Everything I have seen online suggests that they should only have a wake window at this stage of 60-85 minutes, but she just doesn’t seem tired!

Any suggestions would be hugely appreciated! My washing basket is currently a mountain & I’m struggling with how to keep her entertained for 10 hours a day 🙈😂
