Hahah you sound like me, excitably texting my mum the first night I got 2.5 hours solid sleep and felt so refreshed
hoping your stitches and bruising feel better soon!
at a push she’ll go 3 hours if we’re out and about in the sling etc and at night can go 5/6 hours (although that doesn’t happen every night!) but she seems to be feeding more than other babies of a similar age or younger during the day.I totally agree! We liked a name and mentioned to our family before my daughter was born, they all loved it but we said we still weren't sure as we didn't get the same vibe as we picked my sons name.
it really got to me! A mate of mine (she's actually my exes ex and has the entire town on her facebook) she was a few weeks further along than me and keeping the sex of her baby a suprise for herself but had lined up a boy and a girl name from quite early on. She asked me what I was calling my son, I told her. A week or so later she announced on Facebook that she was changing the boys choice but it was this big secret and she was only giving away the initial. It was the initial of my sons and I just had a gut feeling ... I really crossed my fingers she was going to have a girl... She was in labour for days and I was anxiously waiting for her Facebook update... Little boy. Shamelessly stole the name - it's not an unusual name but it is very uncommon! I had weeks to go and really didn't want to appear although I was copying her so called my son a different name, which a relative suggested, it is slightly unusual but I fell in love with it. I actually cannot imagine my son being called the original stolen name at all now!!I totally agree! We liked a name and mentioned to our family before my daughter was born, they all loved it but we said we still weren't sure as we didn't get the same vibe as we picked my sons name.
We eventually found a name which we loved and knew it was her name, told family this was 100% her name and my family took it so badly as they hated her name. It made me feel so tit, they'd refer to her as the baby and not her name when I was pregnant but before called her the other name. They'd make comments about it about how it's not a feminine name and I couldn't call my daughter her name. They actually stopped talking to me for a few days over it. Now they love it and can't see her being any other name. Tbh if someone told me their babies name and I wasn't keen on it, I'd still be nice about it as it's not my choice!
I loved a girls name when I was younger and told one of my best friends about it, fast forward a few years we fell out. I find out via Facebook she called her daughter the name I loved when I was younger
If I were to ever have another baby, I'm keeping my mouth shut for as long as and telling no one their name hahaha
Mine was feeding anywhere bewween 1 and 3 hours and was draining 6oz at a time! Sometimes every hour!Hahah you sound like me, excitably texting my mum the first night I got 2.5 hours solid sleep and felt so refreshed
Can someone reassure me that at 9 weeks their baby was still feeding every 2 hours during the day? Keep seeing all the posts about having to wake them to feed after 3 hours and worried she’s feeding too much
see attached) but they do think I have an infection. Thankfully not bad enough for IV antibiotics so I’m at home with tablets and dihydrocodiene trying to air my bits out lying on a towel 🥲 
so husband and I can both sleep at the same time! We had our first family nap when we got back from hospital! Small wins 
Hey sorry to hear you have an infection, must be so uncomfortable. I missed a load of the pregnancy thread so didn’t see if you shared your full birth story or her name or anything but I hope it went as good as possible for you. I can’t believe we gave birth within 25 minutes of each other!!Thanks all - we had a loooong night (baby biscuit slept through the entire thing
On the plus side, baby B has decided she’ll tolerate her Moses basket
Yes totally normal! My baby fed very frequently and now he’s 5.5 months he still only goes every 3 hours, I still go on baby’s cuesHahah you sound like me, excitably texting my mum the first night I got 2.5 hours solid sleep and felt so refreshed

Aw what a precious little pea. Love her sleepsuit.Thanks all - we had a loooong night (baby biscuit slept through the entire thing

We have days like this where she is absolutely inconsolable, I feel you!
This is before every feed
Certainly my 19 week old wouldn’t go longer than 2 hours.
🤍great to hear you’re getting some good sleep in the day@Definitelyme thank you I look for her wriggling first of all, I know her legs going in the swaddle is a sign, then lip smacking… during the day I have been sleeping between feeds so maybe my OH hasn’t been quick enough bless him and I will set alarms for tonight to bet the cues. Just be quicker perhaps, thank you
I always find my husband leaves it that TEENY bit longer than I would to say a baby needs fed, I think possibly because he doesn’t want me to feel like he’s palming baby off, he wants to feel like he can calm them too, but reality is the sooner you know, the better you can get a feed going without the screams.Exactly this! I think he thinks oh I’ll just make sure she’s hungry and it’s too late. He’s conscious of us not jumping to her every need but I think she’s too small just yet. She’s only stirring for milk atmgreat to hear you’re getting some good sleep in the day
My daughter for the first few months wouldn't give ajy hungry signs. Would just be instant screaming until the bottle was ready!
Totally agree, and the clue is in saying her every “need”. Babies just need stuff, it’s not want, just pure need. People our age have been conditioned way too much that we its bad to “spoil” babies, that they manipulate etc. My 4mo can’t get his hands in his mouth half the time, but Brenda up the road thinks he’s a master manipulator because he cries the stops when I pick him up. Maybe I’m just bloody great company
