Cluster feeding…
I’m not sure how long I can do this.
Baby is 4 weeks and 3 days and wants the boob almost all day long (he’s already been like this almost a fortnight), during the night he settles in his next to me from about 22:00-00:00 but once he’s awake he’s feeding for over an hour (actively sucking and also comfort I think).
He’ll go back in his crib for 20-30 mins and then the cycle starts again and that’s it all night.
I feel so guilty that I’m getting frustrated but I’m shattered and don’t know how to get out of this 😞

Get a dummy!
My baby was like this so I decided to pump and feed her through a bottle now I pump 3-4 hours and my baby has 4onz of milk every 3-4 hours
This has helped me a lot and maybe this may help you out ☺️🥹
This has also stopped my baby from cluster feeding as when she’s hungry after a feed we just up her feed and she’s comfortable on 4 onz at day and 5 onz through the night
My little one is going through the exact same, more so at night waking every two hours and going longer in days some times, I’m exhausted, I pump and do one bottle a day but may increase the bottles? But also don’t want him to not take the breast at all so not sure what’s best?
This is the hardest part, it gets sooo much easier I promise! Baby is regulating your supply, from about week 6 things really start to improve and by 12 weeks it’s sooo much easier than bottles! x

Night feeds
When did you stop night feeds, and how did you do it? My little girl is 2 and still wakes up at least 2–3 times a night for milk. It’s honestly so draining 😩 Has anyone been through the same? I’d love to hear what worked for you and how you settled them without a feed 🤍

Freaking out
Had a glass of wine at 7:30 instinctively fed at 10:30 without checking milk or pumping and dumping. Am I terrible or is my baby going to be fine? Also drank a lot of water in between the times and feel literally fine

Can I leave it on overnight to help her?

Venicci Tila
Hi! 👋🏼 I’m considering the Venicci Tila due to it being fairly lightweight and compact. Has anyone bought this or considering it? Would love to hear people’s views!
Thanks ☺️ x

Free range while showering
This is a super specific question for mamas with older kiddos. At what age did you let then have free reign in the house while you showered?
My son is 11.5 months but is fully mobile. I'm usually home alone when I shower. He gets frustrated with being kept in the bathroom with me but is also too squirmy for him to shower with me (plus I don't get in a good shower). On the flip side, I'm terrified that he'll hurt himself if I let him just wander around the house alone, even with baby gates and whatnot.
What do I doooo?

Cmpa
Did you little ones have cmpa and if so how did you know? From googling im unsure if hes got that or just really bad silent reflux. Hes so uncomfortable drinking his formula and throws himself backwards. Hes needs to burp literally within seconds and i can hear his belly gulp straight away
