Baby sleeping throughout the night! š“

Heās above his birth weight now. So I was wondering what the advice is on this as Iāve been told different things.

Mine is the same and has been sleeping 4/5 hours since about 2.5 weeks. He is 4 weeks old now. Midwife says as long as he has reached birth weight itās fine. Letās just count our lucky stars until sleep regression comes in at about 4 months!
My little one is 5 weeks and we don't wake her in the night and haven't since she was 3 weeks old, she never lost any of her birth weight though born 7.1 4 weeks weight in was 8.9 so she mist be getting enough
I am sooo jealous lol 4 weeks and mine wakes up EVERY HOUR š«©š¤ Definitely leave her! I would maybe set an alarm for like 6 hours just in case?
Tbh I wouldnāt wake him up if heās above healthy, above birth weight and gaining well! He will just wake up when heās hungry -just enjoy the sleep š“š«¶š»

Baby doll
Anyone get their son a baby doll? Did they love it?
Thinking of getting mine one for christmas as he's gravitated towards one a couple of times at a toddler group. For context my son will be 18 months, nearly 19 months at Christmas.

Refusing nap at age2 help!
My little one is 2y 2m old. She has just all of a sudden stopped napping. Nursery told me they spend half hour with her and she won't sleep and same at home. I'm really worried nursery will stop trying. But she just will not settle down at all all of a sudden. Help please. It's way too early for her to drop the nap!

CMPA? (Photo)
My baby is really congested overnight. Sheās always congested - but particularly more snorty after a bottle of Kendamil. Sheās primarily breast fed with one bottle of formula a day in the afternoon. Her poops are also explosive and look like this. Does this look like CMPA, so sorry for the photo! Two first poops from two different mornings. Will add the second to the comments.

Travelling with a 1 year old
Can I put a car seat in the front passenger seat for travelling with my baby?! He hates the car and just cries if heās in the back by himself. I have family 4 hours drive away and I have to do the travel alone most of the time. Itās so stressful and exhausting trying to entertain him and I canāt just let him cry. How do you travel with a baby who hates the car? š©

Sleepless nights due baby nonstop crying on and off for over 2/3 hours
Iām literally at breaking point, with my baby, his 3 week old and thereās some nights where he will do a screaming party in the early hours of the morning and itās nonstop crying and I feel like a awful mum for it, I try everything to settle him and he not having none of it, and when I got my son checked at hospital because I was so worried they said he was healthy which is good news that he healthy just feel deflated and hopeless mum, and itās destroying my mental health, at the minute.
I donāt remember my oldest boy being anything like this, I remember doing feeds and heād stay up but not the screaming constantly.
