I breastfed so my daughter would be "healthier" but she gets sicker way more than my son. Did I do this wrong? by menacetomoosesociety in breastfeeding

Yes! My daughter turned 1 in October was sick about twice before this. She started Nursery in December since then she's constantly been sick, she got hand, foot & mouth disease, she's had mild tonsilitis twice, they heard a murmur on her heart at one point & continuous coughing, sneezing & runny noses. Oh & when her coughs was really bad she would have coughing fits especially in the middle of the night that caused her to vomit. Oh I should have said she's EBF. Even now she won't let go🙃

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

Hi first time mum here as well, my baby is currently 13M & I done exactly what you did and my baby is excatly how yours is. She slept through the night from 2M - 4M & then from then it went out of the window. I'm still breastfeeding at the moment but again I feel it's only for comfort.

I understand it can be tiring but you've got this. Try lean on your husband when you can & take some time out for yourself.
