Mums of bad sleepers!! Does it get better?
My little boy is a horrific sleeper, he’s almost 9 months old, EBF, and has been waking every hour since 3 months. He’s fine with his naps, but his night time sleep is so bad. We started cosleeping for survival around 3.5- 4 months, but he doesn’t even sleep much better that way than he does in his room anymore. We have tried absolutely everything and I’m currently trying to anchor his morning wake up time and really space out his naps etc but I just want someone to tell me if this has ever actually gotten better! I have so many people give suggestions, but I’m not really after advice, I just want someone who had a baby with similar sleeping habits to tell me that it eventually gets better!

My 2 year old started waking up every hour or 2 from 16 weeks all the way up to 17 months. I would get the odd couple of days where he would sleep through the night but it always reverted back to barely any sleep. It got better after 17 months. He sleeps through the night
I won't sugarcoat it.. my boy who is EBF and we co sleep didnt sleep better till he dropped to one nap a day at 16 months. He now only wakes once at night x
My first woke from 4 months to 12 months every 1-2 hours ebf she started to link sleep cycles when I night weaned I waited until 12 months to do this and continued to feed during the day until over 2 years old it’s not to say every baby would do the same but thought I would share

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 ...

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?

Do I need to buy bottles?
I'm planning on breastfeeding baby (if all goes to plan), and due in January. I've got a couple of the free bottles from the Emma's Diary bags, but should I buy more before baby gets here, just in case? Should I also get a pump etc? Or am I safe to just wait to see if everything goes to plan and buy last-minute if I need to?
I will pump at some point I'm sure so that it will be easier for me to have small trips out (hairdresser etc) without having to worry about feeding so much, but I don't want to for the first couple of months really.

Am I doing something wrong?
My boy is nearly 11 weeks old now. When he stays at his nans apparently he’s only waking for 2 feeds during the night. When he’s at home with me, he’s still waking every 2 hours. I’ve recently upped his milk to 5oz but it hasn’t made a difference.
