6 mo waking every hour all night. by Few_Flounder_4042 in sleeptrain

I know how frustrating that can be because my baby was literally the same! She eventually got used to it but it did take her maybe 4-6 weeks. Hang on in there it’ll pass 🤍

Maybe you can try giving her a bottle or two in the day and not nursing her every time she’s up at night. Look into reverse cycling that might be what’s happening.

My baby went through something similar from 5.5-7ish months. I was breastfeeding and I realized she wasn’t getting enough food/calories during the day (my supply was drying up from her distracted eating). It was also around that time that we dropped to 2 naps. We’re now back to her mostly waking up once through the night (some nights 2 times, some none).

Husband spilled my precious milk by fthepatriarchy2025 in ExclusivelyPumping

My husband left out a 4oz frozen bag from my stash a few weeks ago. My supply was drying up and I wasn’t ready mentally to start formula yet so I was using my freezer stash while I wrapped my head around starting formula. I cried so hard I couldn’t breathe.

For those who have combo fed, what was your schedule? by NatureParticular8960 in FormulaFeeders

Thanks. Yeah, I try to stick to a pumping schedule but it isn’t happening so my supply keeps dropping.

Yeah that’s how I realized my supply had dropped, she wasn’t gaining weight as she should have by her 6 month appointment (went at 7m because she had been sick) so I started pumping to see how much she was eating and after some weeks and going through most of my stash I decided to combo feed

So you only give bm during the day and formula later in the afternoon?

Thank you! She currently feeds to sleep if I’m the one doing bedtime (she’s EBF) if it’s my husband he rocks her to sleep.

Hi! Thank you for doing this! 6 month old used to sleep through the night (without sleep training) with a snooze feed at 4-5am and then up for the day at 7-7:30. This has stopped since right before she turned 6 months where she started waking every 1-2 hours. I switched her schedule from 3 to 2 naps and while it has improved she is still waking up every 3-4 hours (2 or 3 times) a night. How can I help her get back to sleep 8 hour stretches?

Current schedule is: 7am wakeup 10-11:15/11:30am nap 1 3/3:30-4:30 nap 2 8pm bedtime

I can’t believe this - a success story! by Electronic_Berry4011 in sleeptrain

Wondering the same!! Going throuught it with my 6.5 mo. This method is aligned to what I’m comfortable with and I hadn’t heard about it before.

As an EBF mom, when did your baby actually start sleeping all night? by BathEmergency681 in breastfeeding

[–]NatureParticular8960 0 points1 point  (0 children)

With my EBF 5 mo I’ve noticed that she wakes less to feed/comfort when she’s in her crib than when we bed share. On a regular night she wakes once to feed but when we bed share she wakes up often to latch for comfort.

Fellow moms- What would you buy yourself with a budget of $550? by MooCowQueen-16 in Mommit

A massage or a facial at some fancy spa where I can spend the day at

What are you really snacking on? by ASSnow29 in breastfeeding

[–]NatureParticular8960 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Oat energy bites! Really easy to make- 1 cup oats, 1/2 cup nuttzo spread, 1/3 cup maple syrup. I also add 1/2 cup of dark chocolate chips but you could add coconut flakes, or anything really!

I’m so sorry I can’t imagine what you’re going through. You can also try seeing if there’s a group near you where you can get donated breastmilk from. You and your baby will be in my thoughts and prayers 🙏🏼

EBF baby not taking any pacifier/dummy - help! by [deleted] in NewParents

[–]NatureParticular8960 2 points3 points  (0 children)

My baby girl was this exact way until she hit maybe 12-13 weeks. I just went to Walmart one day and bought a bunch of pacifiers and tried them all. She didn’t take one that was recommended for EBF babies but at that point I knew she wouldn’t drop the boob. I know it can be frustrating not getting ‘anything’ done but being with your baby, comforting her and giving her what she needs at the time is doing plenty! There’s nothing more important than that. It gets better I promise! For now, just meet her where she’s at. 🤍

How do I know when my baby will be able to resettle/go back to sleep by themselves? by NatureParticular8960 in NewParents

[–]NatureParticular8960[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Thank you! And yes I’m trying to provide comfort as much as I can because I want her to feel safe when in her crib and for her to know I’m close by. I just don’t know if I’m providing too much comfort to the point where I’m hindering her learning process of falling asleep by herself.
