Sleeping through

Has anyone else’s little ones started to sleep through, this is the third night my nearly 8 week old has sleep from 11:30ish until 6am, don’t want to get excited but is this the light at the end of a tunnel. Only concern is my milk supply, should I still set an alarm to pump incase this suddenly stops or enjoy the rest ?

Not mine 😅 but enjoy the rest! Your milk supply will adjust if baby starts to wake up at night again x

I've had similar some nights, I haven't noticed too much of a problem although I do tend to wake up feeling really engorged, sometimes my boobs wake me up before my baby!

Our 9 week old is typically doing 7.30-2 then 3-6 but he is bottle fed

9-4.30 milk then 5-8

Don't get too excited. 4 month sleep regression is just around the corner 😅

And yes it could affect your supply. If you're having supply concerns then set an alarm to pump after 3 hours. If you don't have concerns then rest and if you notice a drop then you can up it again by pumping in the night x

I breastfeed and my little one’s longest stretch is usually about 7 hours and I don’t wake up to pump! I did get a bit engorged at the start but it seems to have gotten better x

How!!? My baby is 10 weeks today and still wakes roughly every 3 hours 😩🤣

mine was until 3 days ago and I’m sure he will go back to three hours soon 🤣 on the positive side at least you won’t have a sleep regression too bad !

Yes. Mine is 8 weeks now and has been for about 2 weeks. Some nights it’s only until 4am but usually this is if she goes to bed earlier. She tends to go 11:30-5/6. This morning she woke at 7!!

I’ve not set any alarm to pump in the night. Just been cherishing my sleep. I tend to pump as soon as I wake though whilst she feeds on the other side as they do feel a bit engorged. I’ve not found any issue with supply so far but have had a really good supply from the start.

Ah my baby did a 4 hour stretch last night and I was so happy 😅 he's usually every 2-3hrs.
Can't wait til he sleeps longer!!

Our little boy is almost 8 weeks too and has just started sleeping 11-6 ish too. I’ve just been pumping when I wake up but I have noticed a little bit of a dip in my supply x

I got two nights of that and got excited, unfortunately didn’t last but I hope it does for you! When he does go long stretches I just wake up with engorged boobs but also been fine when feeding in the night too. Don’t think it should be a problem x

Lord. 11 weeks and feeding every two hours at night. Bottle fed, hungry boy. 👶🏻🍼

When does it get better?

I was crying on the phone with the perinatal mental health team today and the lovely lady, bless her, kept assuring me that it gets better. I kept telling her I hope so because people have been saying that since having my LO and it just feels like it keeps getting worse. She assured me it gets better....

Rant/WWYD

My sister (youngest, 24) has two kids, 4 & 1, and i (oldest, 30) just have my one who’s 6mo old right now, so i ask her for advice or call her to vent about things sometimes. Well im tired of her turning around and telling my other family members that I’m “losing my sh*t.” Literally have not lost my sh*t nor have i ever freaked out to her about my baby, i just call her to talk and tell her what stage my baby is in or talk through how im feeling, but she chooses to tell people that im like a complete nutcase or something which worries me that my family is going to start being judgmental about me as a mother or looking at me funny like I’m some fragile ticking time bomb.

What would you do in this situation? I’m already pretty much decided that I’ll stop telling her anything about my struggles, but I’m almost at the point where i feel like it should be confronted because she, of all people, should understand what I’m going through.

Night time routine

Heya, my 3 week old daughter is currently exclusively breastfed and I’m not pumping. Can anyone recommend the best way to share the load with my partner? At the moment I’m doing all the feeds/burbs/settling and my partner is sleeping through which obviously isn’t sustainable, I’m trying to work out the best way to get him involved. Any advice very much appreciated!

Rapid cool/ hot shot method

Sorry if this sound stupid but how are we doing the hot shot method?
Are we boiling the kettle and letting it cool a little before adding to hot flask? Then with the cool water do you boil the kettle and leave it to cool right down before putting into another flask?
My baby brain is fried trying to work out the easiest way!

i just want someone to talk to😔😔😔😔

when things get hard i have nothing not any support from my partner im convinced he doesn’t even love me anymore but thats another story
I have a 3 yo and a 2yo that are in bed sleeping only just now. I have a 1 yo that’s been sleeping from 8 o’clock to 10 o’clock. I just gave her her milk and she would’ve gone back to sleep if it wasn’t that
I lost her dummy earlier in the day when I went out
so now she won’t go back to sleep and she won’t accept any of the other dummy’s i have!😔😔and it’s 10 o’clock and I’m gonna be up until 3 o’clock with her and when she does want to go to sleep i won’t have any dummy to give her she will accept and she won’t sleep without it i just wanna cry 😔i have nobody to talk to and i feel so alone i get no support from anybody i’m so tired and i don’t feel well to top it off😔
