Every 2 hours for a feed- ebf. Knackered over here and wishing for longer stretches 🤞🤞🤞 any tips gratefully received.

My 12 week old sleeps 7-7 and has done since she was 8 weeks old 😊 amazes me as when she was newborn she did not sleep at all 😅

My LO sleeps on average 8-10 hours a night. I don’t wake her during the night, if she wakes up herself that’s fine but I don’t purposely wake her. She’s awake a lot more during the day and usually cat naps most days x

My daughter does 7-2/3 for a bottle then I have to wake her at 7 so I can feed her and take her and her brother out!

2/3 hour stretches max and also struggling here! 😴

My 12 week old is drinking a lot more I think she’s going through a growth spurt she’s on 180-200ml a bottle the last week and also she’s been sleeping from midnight to 7am wich is amazing compared to 3 weeks ago she was up all night and waking up every 2 hours xx

I am under no illusion that this will change but 11 week old is sleeping 9 hours… just waiting the day she wont go to bed!

My little girl has been sleeping 8:30pm/9pm waking at around 12 for a feed and then sleeping until 8:30am/9am

Bedtime bottle at 11 wakes up around 2/3 for a feed then back to sleep. Wakes again around 6/7 for bottle then back to sleep😂he just refuses to sleep during the day🥲

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?

Forceps delivery

Hello
I had my baby through assisted delivery they used forceps to take her out but since day one I’ve observed some white discharge on the corners of her eyes ,I thought it was the normal thing but now that she’s almost turning 3 months old she’s still having the same thing,anyone know else experiencing the same with their forceps baby please or should I ring my GP to let them know

Bedtime

My girl is 8 weeks just wanting to know what time people are roughly doing last nap then bedtime. Also do you dream feed

Leaving baby on own while downstairs

Hi all I know the Bhs guidelines say keep baby in same room as you for first 6 months. My baby is 5 months old but she's a really bad napper in the day so I hardly get any chores done I was wondering if it would be safe once u put her to bed to set the camera on her to go downstairs for an hour or two to do chores. Everything I read online says no because of Sid's and I do have anxiety over Sid's. I would still be staying in the same room as her overnight. I want to hear everyone's opinions and what they have done. Thankyou x

Nap times

Little boy is nearly 6 weeks when do you start doing timed naps currently he just sleeps when ever where ever but I’m think soon I will have to start put him down for naps, and would like to introduce his cot eventually so he’s used to it when he starts sleeping there once he’s out from the next to me

Advice for stopping breast feeding

Has anyone got any tips or advice for stopping breastfeeding that actually work? Everyone I seem to ask doesn’t seem to give useful advice or helplines don’t reply as soon as I say she’s 13 months.

We have managed to drop some feeds but not able to drop more.

My little one is 13 months old, I’m so ready to stop but it’s her only comfort. She has no comforter as never took to one.

At home she won’t sleep without it unless she’s in a car/pram. She goes to nursery and with other family members in the day time and sleeps no problem for them.

Health Visitor advised someone else doing her bedtime routine, but she won’t settle for anyone else if she knows I’m home, she gets herself so worked up and stressed out.

I’ve tried going cold turkey but I end up giving into her as I hate seeing her so distressed.

I’ve tried distractions, snacks, water playing with toys but only works sometimes for a short period of time.

She won’t drink cows milk either.

I’ve tried plasters but she peels them off.

I don’t like the thought of putting anything “bad” on my nipples.

Any other tips that worked for you?
