Night feeds

What age do babies drop their night feed? I keep seeing if you sleep train you can have 0 wake ups but my boy still has a night feed. I'm just wondering when he will no longer need this and how to reduce/stop.

Early waking

My 5 month old used to wake up around 6:30/7 every morning but lately it’s getting earlier and now it’s between 5&6, with the clocks changing soon this is going to end up being 4/5am and I’m not here for it. Does anyone have any tips?

I need some advice really struggling….

My LO is 3 months and 2 weeks and is EBF. He follows a routine during the day where he naps at least three times and is fed very well throughout the day*. Once given a bath and breast fed, he will sleep from 8:30pm to 10:30pm once fed again he will sleep for 4 hours (that’s the longest he’s ever done and not often) ...

Formula fed babies

Question for all the mommas who formula feed! Have you guys had to replace your bottles? I scrub them and sterilize them but the bottles just don’t seem to be super clean? Almost foggy looking.

Should I try harder?

So my best friend since kindergarten has been upset with me and I have no idea why, and she won’t give me a straight answer. We hung out a few weeks ago and everything seemed normal and fine but a week or so after I noticed she wasn’t really talking to me and was taking long to reply when I tried. I gave her space f...

What would you do?

I’ve mentioned a few times that I want to go to therapy for my mental health. My partner is totally against it saying that if I were to do that it would end our marriage. I get that he is scared that I would be confiding in someone else when he want me to come to him, but I don’t feel like I fully know how to commun...

Dreamfeeding

Hey, mummas, my baby goes to bed at 7.30-8pm but gets up at least twice if i do not dreamfeed in between. Is this normal? I'm getting comments from my parents and in laws that I shouldn't be waking up to feed, but it's easier to settle her if I get up when her feed is due, rather than letting her guide me.. I dunno...

What’s the longest you go without pumping? I’m trying to completely eliminate my middle of the night pump, but I’d have to go 9 hours. Is that too long?

I’m 6 months PP. I produce approx 33oz/day and pump 5x per day roughly 4-5 hours apart except overnight I stretch it to 6 hours apart while still doing one pump in the middle of the night at 2:45AM. I really want to eliminate my 2:45AM pump but then I’d be going 9 hours without pumping. Would this throw my body off ...
