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?

The same thing has happened with my baby🫠 I still haven’t figured it out yet either but I am about to try a breastmilk/formula bottle to try and make her belly feel more full right before bed because the only thing that’s been soothing my baby back to sleep is to breast feed.
This happened to me and the huckleberry app suggested I increase her feedings from 0.5 to 1 oz per feed during the day and it helped a lot. She only wakes up once during the night close to 5am & then I just give her a little milk snack and she’s out till 7am.
I know my baby had a sleep regression around that age. Honestly I would just give my baby a small bottle to help him go back to sleep. Then to try to ween him off the night bottles offer an extra ounce or two in his goodnight bottle
I am in the same boat!!! My baby slept through the night until recently. I rock her to sleep then an hour later wakes up, put back to sleep then again around 3-4am for a bottle. When you figure it out plz let me know 😭😭
She might be hungry. Is she ready for solids?
If they’re waking up and they do actually take a feed it’s likely that they’re actually hungry. It’s not recommended to drop night feeds until 12 months unless it’s initiated by the baby, if that makes sense. Like if they’re sleeping through and you’re offering a feed and they don’t want it, that’s totally fine, but also don’t withhold a feed.
As hard as it is, 2-3 hours is very normal for this age!
Same 😩 the night before it started, she slept for her first 8 hour stretch so you can imagine my disappointment! Happened with my first too though, so I'm pretty sure it's just a developmental regression. Hang in there. It won't be forever (we hope 😅).
This happened to us too! My daughter was such a great sleeper and then around 7-9 months started waking up constantly throughout the night. It genuinely felt like we were back in the newborn stage 😅 For us, it was just a sleep regression and she eventually went back to sleeping normally on her own! She’s almost 14 months now and hasn’t had any sleep issues in a while. I would honestly just give it time and it will probably work itself out! Sleep regressions can last weeks and it feels like FOREVER when you’re in the middle of it, but they do pass!

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?

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?

Breast engorgement
My baby is 5 days old, my milk came in on Friday and my boobs are huge, solid rocks ever since. My baby isn’t breastfeeding from me so I’ve been using formula and occasionally pumping and feeding her my milk, I’m trying to either dry up my supply or combi feed moving forward. Has anyone experienced boobs being unbearably big and hard and been stuck between drying up and carrying on.. any suggestions to make the milk supply less/manage the enforcement pain is welcome please! 🙏🏼 x

Anyone declined the heel prick/newborn screening/pku?
Has anyone declined the heel prick test? How did that go over with the medical team at delivery? If anyone has more than 5 kids, does just one have one of those disorders it tests for? Is it really 1 in 500 kids that have a one of those disorders, that seems like a lot of kids.

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😣😣
