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!

My first baby did this although breast fed. She was a bigger baby anyway 10lb11. Feeding constantly through the day and sleeping through the night very early from about 8 weeks. I think if they are still gaining weight, not sleepy to the point they don’t wake during the day, plenty of nappies etc. it’s fine but if your worried I would say check with a health visitor! If nappies or weight become are worrying you, you can dream feed without waking them?

Personally I would take this whole you can, as you say it might not last. As long as baby is gaining weight and feeding well I wouldn’t be waking them up.
Mine is 4 weeks and still won’t even sleep unless he is on me so I can only dream of 7 hours sleep 🤣

My first did this and I never disrupted it despite what others said I just made sure she fed plenty during the day. She's now 18 and spends most her life asleep lol

How the fuck do I get my spark back?

I’m 2 months postpartum and lately I’ve just been feeling like absolute crap. My boyfriend really decided to try talking to a coworker and I found out by going through his phone lmfaooo 😭 this bitch really thought something was gonna happen when the girl wasn’t even entertaining him like that. But honestly we’ve been fighting so much lately that I keep asking myself what truly makes me happy anymore. I genuinely gave myself a whole year to figure shit out and try to make this work. I let myself get controlled in ways I never would’ve allowed before because I was pregnant and wanted my family to work. But mannn I used to be a whole boss bitch. I knew my worth, I stood on business and I did not give a fuck about losing anybody who didn’t bring me peace. Then I met this dumb fuck and somehow along the way I started losing pieces of myself trying to make something work that’s been draining me more than it’s been making me happy. And now I’m sitting here 2 months postpartum wondering when the hell I stopped putting myself first because one thing about me is I know who the fuck I am and I know I deserve better than this 😭💀

Sleep sack temp etc - reassurance

Hey, common sense says it’s fine but just need another mommas opinion!

Baby is 3.5m. In a next to me, but I only have a 2.5tog sleep sack tonight. Room is 18-20c so I’ve dressed her in just - nappy, baby grow and the sleep sack.

I think she’s had a heat rash so I’m paranoia incase I heat her.

Thank you 🙏

I really hope I'm not the only one 🙏🏻

My baby was due today born via c-sec on 21st October and she oesn't want to sleep throughout the night? I'm breastfeeding and all we are doing is cluster feeds and check nappy every couple of hours she just doesn't want to settle and sleep till the morning! She's 11 days old!

I really hope I'm not the only one where their baby just doesn't want to sleep throughout the night? I'm breastfeeding and all we are doing is cluster feeds and check nappy every couple of hours she just doesn't want to settle and sleep till the morning! She's 11 days old! We have tried to not swaddle her and just place a blanket over and swaddle and still wake up! She's good throughout the day no issues!

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?
