10!? Oh no how long has it been going on for? I’m hoping it’s just a short phase for us but know that’s unlikelyOur sleep regression started at just after 3 months. Hit a record 10 wakeups last night
My second child slept from around 8 weeks 8pm-6/7amAnyone had babies that are brilliant sleepers?
I know all you ever read about regarding sleep is the lack of sleep but I’ve now got the opposite problem and I feel silly for even mentioning it.
Baby is 12 weeks old this week and now regularly sleeps from 10pm to 6am. Now I now that’s a dream for most people and it might not last but it’s causing me loads of anxiety
I’m waking at 4am every morning and panicking that he isn’t breathing. After I’ve checked him, I then spend the next hour worrying that he is starving.
My logical brain tells me that he is thriving and content so must be okay but my mummy brain is hating it.
Any experienced mummies offer any words of wisdom? I’m aware of the 4 month sleep regression so things might change then
Is there anyway you can amazon now some? Or prime it from morrisons if its available?I think my baby has reflux. She’s started bringing up milk after feeds, hiccuping and seems uncomfortable/crying in pain after feeding. She will settle being held upright but not lying down (which means I barely slept again last night). It’s horrible seeing her so upset and no amount of winding, back rubs or tummy rubs is helping. I think I’m going to try the anti reflux cow and gate formula but can’t get out to get it tonight which means another bad night for us both. Feel like I’m running on empty!
You’re not a tit mum, it’s hard work anyway but you’re also in half term aren’t you? No doubt 10x harder when they’re not in the routine of school and everyone’s on top of eachother all day.Glad today has been better for you guys! Ours has hit rock bottom this morning, I actually cried and told my husband to take them away (not forever obvs!) and I feel like the shittest mum ever as I really lost the rag with them. Hopefully we are on the up from here though.
I did try the supermarkets on Deliveroo but they only have the standard version we already use, not the anti reflux one.Is there anyway you can amazon now some? Or prime it from morrisons if its available?
Reflux truly is the devil. Have you tried elevating her bed when she does go down? That slightly helped the girls.
When the girls were taken into hospital when their reflux was bad it was the first thing their neonatal consultant suggested & the cot they slept in was elevated. As long as its not a massive incline you should be fine!You’re not a tit mum, it’s hard work anyway but you’re also in half term aren’t you?

Hope you managed to get a bit of a break!

I read about elevating the bed today actually although some websites say it’s not recommended.. her next to me can be dropped slightly at one end though so I think I’ll try it tonight if you found it helped. Surely they wouldn’t make them like that if it wasn’t safe? I’m that Google mum that looks up EVERYTHING haha but I feel like I should do something to try and help her!
We had this for a few weeks too - I think between weeks 3-6 or something! There was so much grunting and squeaking and she’d just generally seem very uncomfortable. It did settle down after a while and although she’s sick quite a lot still it doesn’t seem to bother her that much any more. I totally feel your pain with the wake ups. It’s so so hard when they won’t be put down (but unfortunately very normal!)I think my baby has reflux.
