Nearly 9 month old help
My baby is nearly 9 months old and still wakes up every 2-2.5 hours to nurse. He has breakfast, snacks, tea and lots of milk during the day. Then at night, he still wants his milk. I tried to let him go back to sleep, but he just cries for his milk. I need proper sleep 🤣 like even 4 hour stint will do. How do I get him to do a longer stretch of sleep? He feeds for 20-30mins each time we wake so its not just comfort sucking

He needs his milk mama, he's still very young. We still wake up once for milk at 16 months. Follow baby's cues don't listen to the internet.
Sending love
How is his growth? Does he get out of breath or sweaty when feeding? My baby feeds 8-12 times a day and has meals but her growth is stagnant. She has recently been diagnosed with a heart condition. I'm not saying your baby is the same, just to rule out anything physical and get peace of mind if it's worrying you.

Help Me!
Hi, my daughter is about to turn 5 months old. And I am struggling with postpartum depression. I always feel sad and feel like crying. My mind never feels fresh, and I am not able to sleep for more than 4-5 hours because of the baby. I always stay sad. I forget to brush my teeth, I don't feel like changing my clothes, I don't get time to bathe, I am busy with the baby 24x7. I keep overthinking all the time. I have forgotten how it feels to feel normal.My husband stays out for 12+ hours for his job. When he comes home and sees me, he gets angry about how I am living. He thinks all of this is in my mind. But doing the same thing 24x7 is enough to drive anyone mad. I don't know how people enjoy motherhood, for me it is not easy. I love my daughter a lot, I can take care of her 24x7, but I need 7-8 hours of sleep which I am not getting, and because of that I feel like I am going mad. I don't know what I should do. I don't feel like doing anything. Can anyone suggest what I should do?

Sleep Training?
My daughter is 7 months and he started to wake up every 2-3 hours again. Sometimes I can rock her back to sleep other times feeding seems to work the best. She sleeps in our room in a pack and play and she will sit up and cry so I know she’s not trying to self soothe. What worked best for you and your littles?

Opinion when baby is sleeping with light noise
My baby is 4 days old and my mom has been staying with us. My husband works in an office upstairs and works late through the night. you can hear him talking but both doors are shut so it’s light noise.
She said the noise is going to affect his brain development and needs to be really quiet through the night.
What are people’s opinions? I personally disagree but interested to see what other moms think ☺️x
Also when changing and feeding him through the night, is it best to do it with no light and no talking?

Best nappies
We are currently really struggling to find a nappy that doesnt leak over night. My little boy wears size 6+ nappies but they are always leaking at night time. We have tried Tesco, Morrisons and aldi ones. Just wondering which ones people find best, we have tried putting him in a size 7 but there to big on him then.

Contact nap help 😭😭
My little one is almost 4 months old and we are still and always have been in contact nap territory. He is rocked to sleep every nap and then will sleep on me for a good hour or so every time his wake window finishes but I need him to start napping in his next to me during the day so I can start doing bits for myself again. He transfers perfect when it’s night time and will sleep through from 9pm until 5:30-6am but during the day he will wake 10-15 minutes later and will not settle back in his next to me. Please tell me I’m not alone in this? & has anyone came out the other side😣😣
