Don’t know what to do

My 8 week old is still waking every 3 hours for milk. She strains, grunts and wriggles all night long. Its so loud that I am awake all night. I’ve tried infacol, dentinox, colief. We have changed her formula a week ago. She’s been to an osteopath (who said she was the calmest baby she’d ever seen 🙄) i’m at my wits end. I’m exhausted.

Isn’t it normal to wake up every 3 hours for milk? She’s so tiny mine is 7 weeks she wakes up every 4 hours and it’s totally fine

Same. Mine has even gone back to two hours now. I’m just hoping this storm will faze out. By 3 months I think I will have him on formula only because it’s exhausting breastfeeding

Mines nearly 11 weeks and wakes every 2 still! 🙃 last night was a reallly bad night with her tummy

My health visitor recommended trying the ready made bottles of formula so I’ve been using 3 of them a day and doing 3 bottles of formula a day and it’s made a big difference and she’s pooing regular again and not grunting constantly anymore but it is very expensive to keep up with!

Have you tried baby drops? My little one was the same weeks 6-8, so gassy but after using biogaia baby drops he seemed to settle down.

You probably are but making sure you are burping them after every single feed, my husband laughs at me because I’m literally on it for burping, even if he thinks there isn’t one in their I always manage to get one out and our little seems a lot happier.

Feeding every 3-4 hours is totally normal until they’re around 4/5 months old and having bigger feeds. My little one is every 3 hours in the day and around 4/5 hours at night. My husband gives him a bottle for his first feed every night and he sleeps for sometimes 5 hours then I breast the rest of the night. It’s definitely been a game changer for some solid sleep.

Hope she settles down, you’ve got this Mumma. Try and remember it’s just a moment in time, things will get better 😘😘

So we are moving

So my husband and I are moving from an 3 bedroom 1 &1/2 bath apartment to a 5 bedroom 1bath house.
Well there is 3 bedrooms upstairs and 2 bedrooms down stairs with 1 bathroom. The house is kinda small. We have to cool with window units and heat by gas but the upstairs doesn’t have a heat source I have 2 boys and 2 girls this house would give them their own rooms but my husband is so negative. He wants them sharing rooms. But yet I’m home 24/7 with the kids he works night shift and I feel like I don’t get a say.

Also I want to get rid of my daughter’s bunk bed and get them separate beds and he doesn’t want to do that.

We are currently in our 3 bed and my kids are all in separate rooms. My youngest is in our bed my oldest daughter is in her bed and my boys are separated ones in their room the other is in the living room.

My kids are ages 9,8,7,5 I feel like my boys need their own room my daughters need to be separated also they fight constantly

Am I in the wrong for being upset

Partner

Does anyone else not feel as attracted to their partner after birth, I’m 10 weeks PP, I love my husband very much but everything he does bothers me, I don’t want him to touch me, not ready to be intimate of course but like I just feel were co-existing together. Please tell me the feeling comes back, I don’t want to feel like this forever.

Baby slept through…

So it’s 6.35am and baby has slept through the night so obviously I have been waking every 30 mins panicking that somethings wrong and now wondering if I should wake him up. 🤣

He is EBF so my boobs are massive and leaking everywhere but yet the little prince keeps on sleeping. 😴

I really want to go back to sleep but I just know he will wake up the second I get comfy and start to drift off. 😩

Bloody kids!! 🤷🏼‍♀️🙈

Leaking overnight

Any nappy recs advice for nappy leaks at night? My 7 month old has just started consistently leaking, I’ve sized up in nappies and tried Aldi and rascals but no luck.

Has anyone had better results with pull ups? He’s just big enough now I think but I wasn’t sure if Aldi pull ups are any good?

Help

My 10 week old is still waking up every 2 hours because of wind. I’m struggling and don’t know what to do. Tried 3 different formulas.. bottles, all the stuff to do at home bike legs, holding upright etc etc. I’m so tired and I’m so sad and I don’t know what else we can do.
