Cold nursery
Any tips on keeping the nursery / baby warm now it's cold at night?! The nursery is around 20 degrees when she goes to bed and the heating is on but then by 4am it has dropped to 16 degrees and I think it's making her wake up loads (she woke up every 10 mins between 4 and 5am last night which she has never done before). I've got her in a 2.5 tog sleeveless sleeping bag, long sleeved vest and sleepsuit. Obviously we can't afford to keep the heating on all night! LO is 6 months old. Any ideas?!

They say optimal temperature for a baby to sleep in is 16-20 degrees. But I think with 16 you want a 3.5 tog or more layers - maybe best to set her nursery to a lower temperature to start then put her in warming clothing so it doesn't shift overnight and she gets cold - it's more of a concern to have an overheated baby than a cold one so I wouldn't start by layering her up in the warmer clothing that's too hot at the beginning of the night
Can you put the heating on a boost for an hour to take the chill off?
We got a 2.5 sleep bag with sleeves and it stopped LO waking up at 4am xx

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 🤣

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
