Long sleep!
I accidentally let my five week old have a seven hour sleep between feeds! We were all sleeping so deeply that my alarm didn’t wake me up for her feed and I feel awful. She eventually woke me up but she wasn’t screaming and she wasn’t upset, she was just stirring in her cot next to me. I definitely would have heard her if she had woken up earlier. (She is breastfed and well above her birth weight)
Has this happened to anyone else??

I didn’t wake mine once they were above birth weight and both of mine slept through from like 4-5 weeks and still sleep through now and they are 5 and 1.5 !
Thats absolutely not a problem! Why are you setting alarms? She will wake you when she is hungry, enjoy the sleep while it lasts! 5 hours is the longest we have ever got and it was just once lol 🥲
At 5 weeks that sounds like heaven! If she’s above birth weight then zero need to worry, you don’t need to be feeding on a schedule, baby is very capable of telling you when they want something - they only have one way to do so hahah x
Will accept tips on how to purposely have a 7 hour sleep! 😅😂
We're still on 2-4 hour sleeps at 5 weeks 😴
I have never woken mine up for a feed from second they are born. If they are hungry they will wake me up. Let them settle into their own routine. If you keep waking them for a feed they will get into the routine of waking in the night, if you feel like you need to feed, then dream feed if you can or express. I always stick to this rule lol x
As long as they’re back to birth weight it’s fine isn’t it? I’m jealous 7hrs sleep sounds heavenly 😍😂

7 HOURS!
I'm SOO worried. I am exclusively breastfeeding my son who will be 6 weeks old on Saturday. He feeds every 3 hours usually (I set an alarm through the day and night but also feed whenever he shows hunger cues).
My phone died in the night and my alarm didn't go off and he's gone 7 hours without a feed. He woke and fed normally for half an hour but I'm worrying. He's never been that long without a feed before.
I contacted my maternity ward and she didn't seem worried but I'm wondering now whether I need to feed every 2 hours instead of 3 to ensure he has enough feeds in 24 hours.
Sorry for the LONGGGGG post!

Prolapse :(
I’ve had 1 natural birth and ended up with a grade 2/3 vaginal prolapse. They won’t operate due to my age and severity and pessaries either fall out, don’t help or are too painful to insert (cube). I feel really sad about it and now we are in the season where everyone is getting sick it’s getting worse by the day and there is nothing I can do about it. I obviously don’t want to have sex either because it hurts and I’m embarrassed. Does anyone have any advice on things to help in any way? Super embarrassing and really getting me down now
