No hate for having a sleepy baby please my first was an awful sleeper so I know how triggering these posts can be 😂… but
My 2 week old slept for almost 6hours last night and we woke him even though he seemed pretty tired and would have slept longer. He’s been a sleepy baby since birth but feeds a lot throughout the day and has surpassed his birth weight but my husband woke me last night to say we need to wake the baby to feed. I said I’d get up and pump and let the baby sleep but he said we shouldn’t let him go over 6 hours without a feed….
Should we wake him? Thoughts below please :)

You cns leave him to sleep if he has surpassed his birth weight. He will wake up if he is hungry and will likely then cluster feed when he wakes up if he has gone longer between feeds 😊

That's fine. My lg passed her birth weight at 5 days and she's slept through the night after that.

He'll wake if he's hungry. I spent weeks setting an alarm for the middle of the night just for my little girl to fall back asleep after taking 1oz, so I stopped and she sleeps straight through from 9pm-7am.

I let my baby sleep as long as she wants once she had gone back over her birth weight and she’s been fine and continued to gain weight :) I wish she would sleep for 6 hours though haha!
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

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!! 🤷🏼♀️🙈

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.

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?

I have been having ups and downs and a lot of it stems from my marriage but today was one of the lowest points. I am a stay at home mom and I didn’t have any energy to play with my kids. I didn’t eat a single thing all day long because I didn’t have any energy appetite for anything. I can feel how low my face is and it was so hard to come up with a smile. I’m feeling extremely down and I’m about to break out in tears. I just don’t know what to do.
