It’s not good for babies to be up longer than a hour their bodies start to go into exhaustion my daughter is also 7 weeks and has her moments where she will be up for 3 hours and I can tell she is tired she gets extremely fussy and is probably frustrated she can’t fall asleep a hour an a half isn’t bad but do not make him stay up for hours it’s not good for their little bodies
My 11 week old needs a nap about every 90 minutes. We take 5 naps a day and he gets between 25-60 minutes per nap. I’m using the huckleberry app to help me and it’s suggesting the 5 naps based on his age.
I’m pretty sure you’re doing great! Every baby is different, but this sounds on par with where we were at a few weeks ago.
My baby also cannot go 3-4 hours without a bottle, but everything I read online says he should be eating every 3-4. He is screaming for a bottle at about every 2 hours.

Confused about sterile bottles
This may sound silly, but I’m a FTM so any advice would be appreciated 🥹
My baby is 11 days old, and at some point I would like to start going out more but I’m confused how the bottles will be sterile in a bag, I currently use the Tommee Tippee bottles and the Tommee Tippee UV steriliser but I read once they are out the steriliser they aren’t sterile anymore? Maybe I’m misunderstanding it. Just wanted some advice on what other people do 😊

Aibu overthinking sunglasses ??
When I was in my partners car yesterday I found sunglasses down the wee side passenger bit but they are usually sunglasses id wear and I said to him are these yours and he was like naw they must be yours cause your the only one that’s been in this car but I have a head like a siv I can’t remember but I leave sunglasses lying everywhere, I have a pair in my car .. and I also have ones left in my boyfriends house that have been there for ages. But I can’t remember 🤣 I think I was at a fair middle of August and bought a pair for a pound.

How are we dealing with creepy neighbours?
Only lived at my address for 5 months, I can’t go into detail of everything that’s happened with this 1 neighbour because it’s too much 🤣 but basically he’s weird and creepy as f*. He’s wanting too much information about my toddler, i am 4 weeks pp and haven’t answered the door once (since giving birth) to his parcels being left here or him ringing my bell. I feel like I’m being a bad neighbour but he’s just too much. I don’t want to stand at my door having the same repetitive conversation of him delving too much into my life, while I have a baby and a toddler now to watch.
Also my dog only barks at him…
He stares into my window every time he walks by (he lives right next door) honestly I wish I could spew every encounter I’ve had with him here but it’s too much 🤣😅 anyway - how do I stop feeling like a nasty neighbour? I don’t want him to hate me incase he is a psycho and tries anything but I also don’t want him to speak to me…

No poo for 6 days.
My hasn’t had a poo for almost 6 days now. He’s mostly breastfed and once in a while on formula. Have spoken to health visitor but was adviced to
Monitor. I’ve also done lots of exercises with my baby like bicycle ride and tummy massage but nothing. His tummy is soft and winds a lot but no poo yet. Should I still be worried ? Almost 7 weeks

Baby pooping
How often should my three month old be pooping? She has consistent wet diapers, but doesn’t poop all the time?
