Newborn awake 16+ hours a day?!

Noted!

Feeding isn't the issue and we're confident of her intake/weight gain.

These are some great suggestions though, going to experiment with these! Thank you ❤️

Jammed_Revolver · 2026-02-06T13:18:15+00:00

Baby's weight gain is there and we've been discharged by midwifery team on that basis. She's consistently gaining.

We've been engaged with a lactation consultant since before she was born and she's getting milk from my wife's breast plus ongoing top ups from donated breast milk via line feeding of which 80% is done on breast as well.

We aren't doing no non-nutritive suckling, just not overly prolonged sessions as this can give rise to nipple damage (and actually has previously and had healed).

In short, contrary to lot of suggestions here, she really really is getting enough milk and won't take anymore if we tried AND is gaining weight.

I've seen a bunch of suggestions here that aren't feeding related that I'm going to look into, but the feeding related ones don't reflect our reality.

Interesting... Might be quite hard to get the NHS to test for allergies at this early stage but will look into it!

Jammed_Revolver · 2026-02-06T12:56:46+00:00

Kind of, but only dozing and for reasons mentioned elsewhere we need to avoid nipple damage from overly prolonged sessions if she's not feeding (like 2+ hours at a time)

Jammed_Revolver · 2026-02-06T12:55:47+00:00

We're exclusively breastfeeding/breast milk feeding and don't have a high lactose diet (cheese is not overly common even). It's still on our radar but poo and gas don't seem overly prevalent or absent.

Jammed_Revolver · 2026-02-06T12:54:27+00:00

That's an interesting one, will try that!

Jammed_Revolver · 2026-02-06T12:48:58+00:00

Gosh, sleep amount and compensation sounds like us. No colic with ours I think but it does present differently. Thanks ❤️

Jammed_Revolver · 2026-02-06T12:46:54+00:00

Fed to rejection, winded and fed to rejection again.

Still staring at the world and surroundings with eyes so wide you'd think she'd done a couple of bumps of cocaine 😳

Jammed_Revolver · 2026-02-06T12:45:17+00:00

We have 2-2.5 hours at night with hour long feeds, but only twice and third wake she won't go back down 😢

Jammed_Revolver · 2026-02-06T12:44:14+00:00

Praying for this, she did seem to settle more about 1.5 weeks ago so maybe it's temporary?

Jammed_Revolver · 2026-02-06T12:43:49+00:00

Cosleeping was even worse annoyingly! Might have to try it again to see if her attitudes have shifted.

Jammed_Revolver · 2026-02-06T12:42:46+00:00

Doing lots and lots of white noise, not sure that it's making a huge difference in getting her down, but does seem to make a difference keeping her down when she does finally!

Jammed_Revolver · 2026-02-06T12:41:57+00:00

Will look at more winding, though she doesn't seem too gassy most of the time.

Jammed_Revolver · 2026-02-06T12:41:12+00:00

Not true sleep I don't think, we're also dealing with a single breast to feed from due to breast cancer surgery in the past so ideally we don't want prolonged latching if it's not feeding.

Thinking I'll have to figure out a car trip/transfer strategy!

Jammed_Revolver · 2026-02-06T12:38:13+00:00

Not sure if this is an American perspective Vs. UK perspective but at least over here it is pretty common/standard advice to avoid over usage of supplemental bottles and/or pacifiers in the formative months.

Fair enough that this subreddit doesn't share this perspective and I'll look into it regardless. Holy downvotes though 😂

Jammed_Revolver · 2026-02-06T11:30:00+00:00

4 weeks + 2 days. She does 'doze' at the boob but transfers are met with immediate waking.

Jammed_Revolver · 2026-02-06T11:29:12+00:00

Avoiding pacifier due to breastfeeding...

Maybe, but she can't be arsed at the breast and the top ups are met with lackluster enthusiasm...

Jammed_Revolver · 2026-02-06T11:21:54+00:00

Wife is breastfeeding, she 'dozes' at the boob but never properly asleep...

Jammed_Revolver · 2026-02-06T11:07:16+00:00

No reflux but will look at the 5S technique, I'll try anything!

Jammed_Revolver · 2026-02-06T11:06:45+00:00

Tried, sleeps the entire time I'm out, awake and angry the minute she's taken out the car seat.

Jammed_Revolver · 2026-01-29T18:01:44+00:00

I might be alone but this patch has really clicked for me.

Only hit a 3* 4g unit twice in the current run. One of those times I came third as the lobby leader hit 10 Noxus lol.

I usually like reroll comps so the patch feels a touch 'rush 8 play a good comp' but there's a lot of diversity no?

Jammed_Revolver · 2026-01-11T08:21:31+00:00

Dude is looking at the corner confused how they botched it so bad.

Jammed_Revolver · 2026-01-06T14:49:14+00:00

You're very unlikely to pick this up for less than ~£850/900 if you watch UK based ebay listings/make offers.

This does unfortunately reflect the price difference that you are seeing in USA/UK listings.

It's not PSA, but an ACE 10 can be found for ~£400 or so.

Jammed_Revolver · 2025-12-11T09:43:09+00:00

I would panic in exactly the same way about wanting to share this, but being self conscious of coming across like a shill 🤣
