Breastfed babies

Yes same

My little one is breastfed but I don't time her or check the time at all unless I can't get back to sleep cause it puts too much stress and pressure. I know she wakes up quite a lot depending on the night, particularly last night was tiring. I think your little one just got himself into a schedule and he's probably not feeding out of hunger (I could only actually tell if I was there) but just habit and the want for comfort. You're doing great! It's definetly not easy work ❤️

My breastfed baby doesn’t sleep through. We had a magical spell last month where he did a few 8 hour stretches, but we are back to teething and he’s up again. Firstly, you aren’t doing anything wrong! It is biologically normal. I know social media etc creates this impression that most babies are sleeping through from 6 months old and it makes you feel awful, but it isn’t true. We have managed to put in a boundary that I will only feed him twice in the night if he wakes, and this has helped. However, it’s meant my husband has had to step up more. At first, it took much longer for him to settle our baby than if I went in to feed him, but he stuck with it and now I will go into him if my husband has tried and he isn’t calming, or if there has been a while since I last fed him. Otherwise my husband settles him instead x

@Sophie I’m a bad sleeper as it is so I know it’s two hourly :( he’s definitely doing it just for comfort as I work nights and when I work nights he sleeps 4 hours first stint for dad and then hourly but with me it’s literally every two hours! Thank you so much mama ❤️

@Emily I’m glad to know I’m not the only one I felt like I was doing something wrong with being a ftm. Teething is horrible isn’t it! I think social media and other mum friends make me compare which is sad! My husband does offer to settle but mum guilt has me in a chokehold 🥹 but he settled well with dad when I’m on my night shifts but it’s like he senses when I’m home x
