How often does your breastfed baby wake in the night?

Mines pretty much every hour, hoping for similar answers from others 🤣

Ours depends on when she goes down and how busy we've been in the day, but we're starting to average a good first sleep stretch of around 5hrs, then 3hrs, then up at 7am-ish. But we do feed ALOT more often during the day, maybe every 90 mins plus a big long feed before bed.

I’m constantly feeding all day, he cries I put him on me, he winges, I put him him on me, every little thing I put him on me. I haven’t left the house for more than 2hours, I feed him before I leave and soon as I arrive home and I constantly feeding when at home.

He also had short naps,
9am - 20mins/30
11am - 2 hours
2pm - 20 mins
4pm - 20-30 mins
6pm - bed until 6am

Between all those times I’m feeding, that’s just his pattern on average, I don’t time his sleeps or anything. Up to him when he sleeps and for how long but with my older one going school this the routine he just fell into.

I think because I co-sleep, she sleeps for 4hrs in one go and then will wake for a snack so I just pop my boob out and continue to snooze. She then snoozes alongside me. If I didn’t co-sleep, I think she’d be up hourly.

What changing bags is everyone using for their little ones? Especially those formula feeding!

I’ve got the one that came with his travel system, but I’m fancying a new one — looking for something stylish but practical! I’d love to see what everyone else is using! 🤍

Fed up

My 16 month old is only waking twice a night but for both those time she is suckling on me for 40 minutes and then I can’t transfer her to the cot so I’m in there for nearly an hour and then have to end up getting my husband to come in when she’s asleep enough to pass her to him, within 10/15 minutes of being in there he gets her down

I know two wake ups isn’t bad but being in there for so long is killing me and then because I’m so awake after that it’s really hard to get back to sleep.

The only answer is to stop the nursing back to sleep but she cries so much I can’t handle it, a few minutes feels like a life time 😩 I feel so trapped and fed up this is so so hard. I can deal with multiple wakes if she goes back down easily but this is torture
I wouldn’t even mind co sleeping but our bed is way too high and our mattress is very soft so it’s not safe and whenever we’ve tried anyway she just gets wide awake and thinks it’s play time 🤦🏻‍♀️

Second Night Syndrome!

Omg I read about this but my second night at home with a newborn I’ve never experienced exhaustion like it. Last night in hospital I was in a different headspace and there was lots of support available at night. I’ve gone home today and my baby has been on my boob for hours. I’m sore, she won’t be laid in her crib and I’m struggling to my eyes open. When will this phrase be over and any suggestions on helpful strategies?

Awake until 1am!

Anyone else’s little one just come alive at night time? I’m absolutely exhausted to the point I’m falling asleep during feeds. She sleeps most the day and then come evening she is wide awake, I don’t get her down until 1/2am every single night where she sleeps until 5:30am. From 6pm-1/2am it’s just constant feeds back to back and being very alert/fussy.

Any tips? Please tell me I’m not alone🤣🤣

Moving to own room

Have we put our babies in their own rooms yet?? I know it’s recommended around 6 months but I don’t feel ready yet. Can someone educate me on why we are supposed to do it at this age??

What are peoples opinions on immunisations for our little ones?
