Bedtimes

What’s everyone’s aimed bed time for their little one? Anyone else struggle with timing their last nap of the day? I’m trying to remind myself to have a flexible routing rather than rigid schedule, but anything surrounding sleep improvement, I want to do! Meme sharing bc this is me!

Genuine question

Does anyone else think it’s strange when the debate of circumcised vs uncircumcised comes up, one of the points for pro circumcision is that it’s “more attractive”? Like I’m all for having your own personal preference when it comes to people you have sexual relations with… but why are you thinking of an infants tack...

How long do you keep baby upright after a feed

My 6 week old will nurse for 15 minutes then burp reasonably easy. But then I still have to hold her upright or on my tummy for 15 to 45 minutes because as soon as I lay her flat, she will start getting uncomfortable and then spit up milk. I was wondering how long do you lot keep the baby in your arms after a feed?

Baby slept through for first time last night!

Just in case this helps even one person. We increased the protein in our little one’s meals and sleep has improved over the last few days (from the first day of the increase) and then last night she slept all the way through.

Spit up

My son is 7 weeks old and breastfeeds half the time, bottle feeds the other half (4 oz pumped milk) He spits up right after and it's a lot of spit up, looks like almost 2 oz worth Is this normal? It's not really projectile but he does cough with it sometimes A lot of the time it just pours out effortlessly

I co-sleep

My baby is in my bed with me- I know some people do t agree with that- (I’m a very light sleeper and I don’t move in my sleep, blankets & pillow are far away from her face, I don’t drink/do drugs or take sleeping meds) Anyways our 4 month old check up is soon- I want to be honest about our sleep but I’m scared 😕.…

Weird vibes or am I hormonal?

Then I went with my husband to pick up our kid and she comple...

8 week old feeding

My 8 week old wants to feed every 2 hours! I’m conscious of over feeding so only offering 3 oz but I’m sure he’d take more!! We offered him 4oz during the day and he’s still woke every 2 hours overnight. Thoughts?

We seem to have hit the four month sleep regression and my little girl is now waking 2-3 times in the night. Any tips on getting her back into her normal sleep routine or is it just something we need to ride out?

Leaking overnight - tips for keeping a dry bed?

LO is 10 weeks and sleeping for longer stints at night (woohoo!) We had a great night sleep last night, but my milk has leaked quite considerably. I have breast pads in all the time still, popping fresh ones in before bed, does anyone have any other tips? I’ve seen some people use ‘puppy pads’ but don’t want anythin...

Sleep for baby's

Does anyone know how to get there baby to sleep through the night. We did it with my little boy and he did for a few night but now he's constantly waking up at 12 in the morning. I'm not sure what to do because he's not hungry or needs changing either. I'm just wondering what to do
