12 hours no feed?!

Hello has your little one ever gone 12 hours or more without a feed? My boy is 4 months tomorrow and last night he woke up every 10 mins from midnight, crying like he’s in pain. He did this for about 2 hours so we decided to give him calpol where he eventually settled and didn’t wake up until 8am this morning and refused his bottle still!! (His last bottle was at 8:30pm) He eventually drank his normal amount about half 9 ish with great difficulty from my end😭 Anyone have similar experiences?

Yeah definitely, my girl would sleep 10-12 hours regularly at that age. As long as all good weight wise just let them sleep. Might just be a little poorly or teeth moving around xx

Yeah. My youngest would go 12-13 hours easily overnight at this age. If they are poorly, they may just need the sleep to help them fight it and recover.

Could be teething if he’s in pain and calpol helped?

I don’t have a similar experience with pain, but my little boy started sleeping long stretches around 3 months old. So long as he was eating well, and having enough diapers, his physician said it was fine

My little girls 13 weeks and goes 10-12hr stretches at night without a feed and sometimes wakes up and won’t have a feed till an hour/half an hour later, as long as they’re gaining weight it alright, if you think he’s in pain tho I’d make a gp appointment just to be sure x

Bottle choices

What bottles do you guys recommend for newborn? I’m planning to breastfeed but people are telling me to be ready with bottles and formula just in case. What are the best options?

Unsettled baby

If my baby is awake, chances are he is crying or upset in some way. He is 8 weeks old and I haven’t had a single day where I thought he was happy or okay. We’ve changed his bottles, changed his milk, I’m now dairy free too so changed his breast milk too. When he drinks he sounds like he is absolutely gulping it down and you can hear the air in his tummy. I don’t know how to help him and the doctor just says he’ll grow out of it. Like that’s all well and good but he’s in pain now and so am I 😭

How long is everyone’s 3 week old sleeping ?

Mine is still doing under 2 hours or just around 2 exactly between feeds with some wake windows during mornings and late nights between 1-2 hours too! Can’t wait till it’s at least 3 hours so I can get some sleep back does anyone know when babies graduate to more hours ?

My husband seems jealous of baby when I breastfeed

I know this sounds silly but I feel as though my husband is jealous of my baby when I breastfeed him.

I’m 6 weeks postpartum and every time I feed our son he says things like “he’s a greedy little sod” “maybe we should get formula so he’s not on your boob as much” and he says it at most feeds which is very irritating.

We were intimate last night and I didn’t want him to touch them and he got funny and said they were his first?!? Sorry for too much info but I don’t want his mouth there when I’m breastfeeding it just doesn’t appeal to me.


Am I wrong?
