Exhausted
My boy is 7 weeks old breast fed baby and his sleep is so scattered. He’ll have a night with 3 hour stretches of sleep in his bassinet and then other nights that he absolutely refuses it. I’m writing this post at 7am and I’ve been up since midnight because he will only sleep on me and I’m too nervous to fall asleep if he’s on me. Not looking for advice, believe me I’ve tried absolutely everything. Just looking for mamas in a similar situation to know I’m not alone.

Here with you at 4am pst
I was here at 1am today xx
Ive been here. Week 5-8 were so rough. Did good sleeping on his own to needing constant comfort. Was able to move back into own bed again after a while. Look inti co sleeping/ lay down feeding it saved me. Currently back to cluster feeds and up every hour to hours about 5/6 am either im so tired that he comes into bed with me or im just up for the day.
I've been up all night with my 7 week old boy too. I have FINALLY been able to set him down for a little bit. Some nights hes fine! Others its contact napping only. Tonight was contact napping.
I would definitely check out happycosleeper on instagram, even if you don’t plan to co sleep it’s definitely good to know how to do it safely if you really need to x
I was there for a while but I promise it gets better ❤️
Definitely not alone! This has been me and he still won’t sleep well still at 9 months l 😭 was up from 230-630am last night
Not alone. Here with you-6am Colorado. It will get better, slowly but surely!

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

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

Reflux or something else?
My 1.5 month baby girl has spit up (milk as it is) after 30-45 minute post the feed time. We keep her upright and burp her for atleast 20-30 minutes after 2/3/4 oz feed. Regardless sof volume, she tends to have milk come up and sounds congested when we put her in the crib after burp.
Night have been hard as she is sometimes restless and the cycle of feed burp repeat is 1.5 hour long on repeat!
Her weight is on track and she seems happy rest of the time.
When brought up to pediatrician at 1 month, they said it’s normal as long as she isn’t fussy or uneasy throughout the night.
My MIL says this seems unusual and I think so too! Please advise if I should get a second opinion? I’m afraid she has some concerns we are able to understand yet.

4-Month Sleep Regression Is No Joke! 😭 Send Help!
The 4-month sleep regression is SO real! 😭😩
My baby sleeps pretty well for the first 3–4 hours, but after that, he’s up EVERY SINGLE HOUR! 🫠 We’re exhausted and running on caffeine at this point.
Has anyone else gone through this? How did you survive it? Did anything actually help your baby sleep longer stretches?
Please share your tips, tricks, or even just tell me it gets better!
