Does he still get up with toddler? Me and my husband are doing this at the moment. I'm EBF so don't feel like he needs to get up with me for every feed at night but he gets up with my eldest in the morning which sometimes gives me and extra hour or 2 in the morning so I'm happy about that. We both get a bit more rest which is needed at these times.
In our house I sleep with newborn and he sleeps with out 3 years old. He manages pretty much all the house, groceries and big part of cooking + toddler runs. He also pick our newborn from my room around 5-6am if needed a little extra sleep. We don't care sleeping separately as we get more sleep this way
Every relationship is different. For me it’s when baby is sleeping through that I think the seperate beds should stop. But of course that’s different for every baby!

Pumping
HOW are you pumping the recommended 8-12 times per day??
I'm barely managing to fit 5-6 pumps in a 24 hour period. Even then each pump is only around 10 minutes long and I only manage around 40ml 🙃
I feel so guilty, I have a daughter in the NICU that I want to provide milk for, but I'm struggling to feed the one I have at home.

Sleeping routine.
Hellooo. I have a 2 month old who doesn’t seem to sleep during the day (unless he’s on me and wakes as soon as I put him down) but after googling it says he should be sleeping 5-6 hours a day.
Does anyone have any daytime napping hacks? Obviously I love the cuddles but sometimes it would be nice to get some housework done 🤣

Small rant
I wanna know if anyone else is in the same boat as me😩 i live 2 hours away from my family and i am living with in laws. My husband helps me out and tries to make sure i get that time to myself but when it comes to wanting to go outside and have a social life i feel so guilty leaving her at my in laws house. My mil says she doesnt mind but sometimes you can tell she does mind. I also feel like im always being timed on how long im gone. I just wish i lived closer to my own mum as i have so many nephews and nieces alhamdulillah which would help keep my baby busy aswell as having her grandparents and aunties and uncles.

Burping
Literally don’t know what to do anymore my lo is 8 weeks old and he just will not burp at night. I spend more time trying to burp him than feeding him and still end up laying him down without burping. I’ve tried every trick I can find online. I’ve tried infacol doesn’t make a difference. Does anyone else have any tricks that work please! I end up taking so long that by the time I lay him down or for him to burp it’s like 1-2 hours before the next feed! So then I’m not sleeping much either
