4 month regression

Moms, I'm desperate. My 14 week old baby boy has been waking every hour the past three nights and I just offer him the boob to go back to sleep. What else can I do at this age instead of just offering him the boob ?! Im afraid he now thinks he needs it every time to fall asleep and he isn't hungry. I need to sleep ...

I remember the 4 month regression all too well🥲 honestly my advice is do whatever you can to survive it, it doesn't last. If that's feeding to sleep every time then do it, if it means cosleeping to get a little more sleep then do it (safely of course) you're not creating bad habits, and if you do then it can be fixed when things settle. it's normal for a baby to want comfort at night, especially during a regression. My son woke up every 45 mins - 1hr at that age, we coslept to survive and he needed rocking back to sleep every time, It got to a point where he wouldn't go longer than 2 hours. He now sleeps all night (mostly) in his cot (which took time to transition from cosleeping). You're doing great, you've got this💖💪🏼

Same here last 6 nights! I was worried it was forming a habit so when I knew she deffo wasn’t hungry I rocked on the bed which is more effort - however it made me realise last night she went from 9.30 for a full feed - woke at 11, I rocked her it took about 30 mins then she didn’t wake again till 1.30 then I fed her

I’m just trying to take the benefits of knowing she can go longer for a feed when we eventually get out this regression as before she was still feeding every 2.5 hours at night which I know she should go longer but I know every babies different and I panicked thinking she was hungry 🥲

Either way no real solution - it’s harder trying to rock them and takes longer! Xx

Colostrum harvesting

Probably a bit late 😅 38 + 3 days, but is everybody harvesting colostrum before their babies arrive?? My midwife said I don't have to and I was paranoid about inducing labour early on (wouldn't mind if she stayed inside just a litttttle bit longer). But now I'm worried that if I don't, there's a chance I won't be able to give her what she needs when she's first born (planning to breastfeed if poss). Any thoughts/advice welcome!!

Sleep Issues

My daughter is 11 months and still doesn’t sleep through the night, she wakes up about 2-3 times and wants to sleep in our arms. We will rock her and then put her back in the crib only to sometimes have her wake back up an hour later. If we leave her she just screams endlessly. Anything we can try or has anyone had the same thing happen?

Last feed

Anyone else's babies not settling after last night feed, my little one usually wakes around 4am and I can't get him to settle back. I do it all with dim lights and white noise; I don't interact. Any advise?

Sibling Baths

I have two girls; my toddler is 22 months old and my infant is 4 months. When can/should I start to bathe them together?
