Ah hang in there. The first few weeks they don't know night from day.
Totally normal, she probably won’t for a couple of months yet until their circadian rhythm starts. Even then, my first took over a year to sleep through the night and my daughter is 18 months and sleeps through the night once or twice a week. You will slowly get longer stretches though so it will start to get a bit easier.
100% normal she’s learning the world 11 days ago she had never experienced any of this before your in the 4th trimester it’s hard but your doing great and thousands of other mamas all over the world will be awake all night in the same situation , she will eventually learn try be easy on yourself and her x

Blood in 8 month diaper
Hi moms ❤️ My 8-month-old baby has had blood mixed with mucus in his poop for the past 5 days. I’ve taken him to his pediatrician, but I still don’t have many answers. He isn’t in pain and is behaving normally, but I’m so worried and feel helpless. Has anyone experienced this with their baby? What was the cause? 😔

Deep sleeper
I’m personally a very deep sleeper 😂 can literally sleep through anything and I was really paranoid that I wouldn’t wake up for my baby or maternal instincts wouldn’t kick in for me to wake up. Everyone told me it would be different when I have my own child and that I’d wake up but low and behold, I only wake up when she full on starts crying 😂😅
Anyone else?

Sleep query!
My 4 week old has slept through last three nights without a feed - I'm talking 11 till 6! Whilst unbelievable...is that ok? He is feeding 8 times at least in day and plenty of wet and dirty nappies. He's above birth weight etc. obviously sleep is great but is it normal? Also aware it will probably not last and that is also ok!

2nd baby.
I feel like he’s bluffing. I’m 3 weeks postpartum and I honestly wouldn’t not mind sexy time with my husband rn. Of course we’re waiting the full 6 weeks, but he made it a purpose to mention I had to wait till I’m fully heralded cos she will be putting a second baby in me ASAP.
I honestly think he’s bluffing because he already has a 15 yo son and didn’t necessarily want another baby but knew I wanted one and so complied and gave me a baby.
Idk how I feel tbh. My first pregnancy was easy breezy so I don’t think I’d mind another. And if we do have more I’d prefer them back to back. But those labor contractions!! OMG. Not ready for that again lol

More babies at 39
Am I crazy? 😂 I’m 39, have three kids, and my youngest is only 8 months old, yet I’m already thinking about having a fourth!
I’ve always wanted a big family, but my pregnancies have been awful. I had gestational diabetes, was constantly sick during my last pregnancy, and ended up having an emergency C-section because I couldn’t breathe and my baby stopped moving.
My eldest has autism and needs a lot of my time and attention, which I want to give her. I also have absolutely no support from anyone, so realistically, another baby would be a lot.
But why do I still want another one? Is it just human nature to keep wanting more babies, even after everything we’ve been through? Please tell me I’m crazy for even considering another pregnancy! 😂
