Still breastfeeding?

Anyone still breastfeeding at this age? What’s your experience like? My LO is still going and it’s what helps him sleep so apprehensive weaning because he’s sleeping 12 hours a night but I’m exhausted.

I still am, her sleep isn’t great and I’m still to nervous to try and stop so totally get that feeling 😂 I feed her to sleep and then transfer her to her crib where she does a few hours and then comes in with us the rest of the night so not sure how often she feeds after that. If she’s not with me she’s fine without it during the day, although nap time is a bit rough. But when we’re together she feeds fairly often still. She’s not the best eater so I’m reluctant to pull back on the milk even though I’m sure it’s all a catch 22!

Same as Emma. Still breastfeeding and his sleep has never been great since after 3 months and his eating is getting worst. He's thriving other than that! Not sure how or when to start weaning ?!?!

My LO still feeds to sleep too and would love to wean soon but she wakes up 5/6+ a night and for the most part breastfeeding is the only thing that’ll make her sleep again (occasionally the dummy works). People say when you wean them off they’ll sleep better but so worried on how to as I feel I’ll never sleep!!

Tilting the Next to Me

Does anyone have any advice? My midwife recommended tilting our next to me slightly to help with my baby’s mucous issue however the health visitor really advised against it - but annoyingly tilting it worked? Baby is 3 weeks old and refusing to lie on his back flat as he just wakes up straight away 🥴🫠

Naps

So far I've had a relatively easy time as a first time mam, but at 11 weeks my little girl has started having predictable 2hr cycles of maybe a 10-15mins of waking happy, playful, then nappy, feed, followed by screaming and crying until she's back to sleep. It seems like she just wants to be asleep all the time. But it takes a combination of darkness, quiet, white noise or boob to be able to get her off. My whole days seem to be fighting her to help her sleep. Is this normal and how long does this phase usually last? 🙈

Is it bad that my son is not the centre of my universe

We are 6 weeks in with my little boy. I adore him, he brings a smile face whenever I look at him.
However I do not think he is the centre of my universe.
I am a planet with multiple suns and my son is one of them perhaps one of the bigger ones but he is not the only sun in my life.

Is this unusual to say and feel ?

Is there a difference in intelligence between formula fed and breast fed

Apparently breast fed are more clever and hit their milestones early is this true ???
