Bedtimes
FTM. I have a 9wo... When she was about 6wo she started having a distinct bedtime and wake up time which seemed to work in 12 hour cycles from 9pm to 9am. This then moved to 8pm to 8am, as of this week she's moved to being ready for bedtime sleep at 7pm and awaking for the day at 7am. I know they say babies don't have a circadian rhythm but honestly she does. How? Because it's the only time she sleeps in her cot. She was also sleeping through the night by week 5but since she turned 8wo she's waking up twice with 3/4 wakes up these past few days. Hoping it's a developmental thing and she goes back to not waking so much but just wanted to see if anyone else has found their baby setting their own bedtime? I keep seeing online that 7pm is too early at this stage.

My 7wo bedtime seems to fall anytime between half 6 and 9 but he always wakes between half 6 and 7 with multiple wake ups in the night. O mine always seems to say newborns have late bedtimes time 10/11 but mines never been that late!
10/11 is so late! With her sleeping around 7pm I actually get some me time after sterilising, pumping and prepping bottles for the next day. Glad to see it's not just mine with an early bedtime

How long did your breastfed baby take to get back to birth weight?
I have just had my 5 day appointment and my baby has dropped 9%. I've been booked for a reweigh on Monday and told if she's lost more we will be sent to hospital. I said that's fine but I will refuse any feeding plan as I was put on one last time ( triple feeding) and it made my daughter projectile vomit and my mh plummet. She then asked if I had through about pumping and I said no I won't be pumping 5 days PP and 1 day after my milk has come in. Honestly the whole appointment has left me so angry at the pressure they put on us to get back to birth weight in 10 days. My partner also said she was weighed wearing a hat and blanket ( I had a c section so couldjt se)

Colostrum
How much colostrum should I bring with me to the hospital? I’ve got about 20ml but don’t want to take all of the syringes with me as I know I won’t use them all. Thank you 😊

A constant loop
Has anyone else felt like the days are flying by? By the time I get my son up, dressed and first bottle. He’s back down for a nap and everything repeats itself with a bit of play time during wake windows.
I feel like I’m constantly counting down each nap and bottle then before I know it, it’s time for bed again.
