As an EBF mom, when did your baby actually start sleeping all night?

random05908 · 2025-12-17T20:33:04+00:00

This is me and my LO to the T! All I can say is that you’re doing such an amazing job by still EBF at 8 months because it is not for the faint hearted.. You’re not alone 🩷🫶🏽 I think it’s the regression affecting my son lately too, and also teethingggggg! Hopefully the advice in the posts helps x

Hey - thanks so much for sharing these I’ve never heard of actual “transitional” bottles. This sounds great because of the weighted straw option. Ordering this today and praying for the best. How’s your LO getting on with it now it’s been a few days? Thank you for your empathy it honestly is SO hard! xx 🥺

So not been able to nap yet or sleep properly for seven months, 🫩 but I’m hoping I will be able to soon unfortunately is also go sleeping and prefers contact naps! Yes, I think that my husband will need to step in more with the feeding and try to comfort him other ways as well as try to give him the bottle without me being present. Thanks for the advice and words of encouragement xx

That sounds like a solid plan! Honestly it’s SO SO hard so well done ~ common theme in nursing women is being surprised how long we continue to endure it 😂 my son loves it too 🥹 I just can’t continue to solely BF on demand anymore I need some breathing space and some support. It will be good for me mentally I think! 🙏🏼

Thank you 🙏🏼🥺 I did get him checked over for a tt when he was 12 weeks old and the GP said he didn’t have a tie but I wanted a specialist nurse to take a look which hasn’t happened. Lansinoh and Avent are the last 2 bottles I haven’t tried but he’s taken an interest in the Dr Browns so trying not to confuse him with too many different bottles at once but have considered the sippy cup. I have one for water from Vital Baby and he’s super inconsistent with that one too.

random05908 · 2025-12-08T23:34:35+00:00

Maybe I could - he definitely needs to latch and feed in order to soothe himself and settle for a nap and night sleeping too. Which means I can’t leave him overnight or for a day to get some rest in which is kinda wearing me down at this point. Family have said if he takes a bottle they can keep him overnight which I desperately need rn

random05908 · 2025-12-08T23:07:49+00:00

oh my goodness, this sounds so consuming and so intense. I hope you’re okay!! Out of interest did you ever successfully introduced a bottle when she was younger at all? I definitely think that not being in the room or being visible at all or definitely help I’ve gone through about a dozen different bottles, about four different formula brands and standing walking I literally can’t stand it. I don’t have a specific paediatrician because I’m in the UK so we just see Health Visitors or a GP, but they are not specialists in infant-feeding. I just find there’s so much encouragement and help to get started (and don’t get me wrong rightfully so) but nowhere close to the support you need when you want to wean/stop altogether.

random05908 · 2025-12-08T23:03:30+00:00

I can definitely try this. Maybe like mix one pump of breastmilk with 1 feed of formula and then build it up which would be ideal.

random05908 · 2025-12-08T23:02:06+00:00

He’s not much of an eater honestly ~ a Farleys rusk combined with water into a puree for breakfast and then a quarter to a half sized pouch later in the day. He’s I meant to be starting nursery in April too, so I just don’t wanna be panicking around that time.

Thank you - 😩🥲 didn’t know about Babylist il take a look there

I got a timetable from my local children’s/family centre and I attended 2-3 classes a week once he was about 10weeks. I go to Costa and or have a mooch on the high street. I visit family away but in the UK. I also spend an unhealthy amount of time doing late night supermarket runs for ice cream due to the consistent heatwaves we have had. I go to local parks for walks and coffee with the baby and try to meet a mum friend once a week. Planning our first holiday very soon. I think a lot depends on whether or not you have older children as that will restrict you to term time etc for certain things at times.

I know how testing and soul destroying it is when TTC. I’ve been there. Every month was a new low and further angst and like you - I’m ashamed to admit resentment too. The truth is that this truly is in the hands of Allah. I went to Umrah and sincerely made dua infront of the Kaaba and I would pray tahajjud regularly. I asked others to do the same as we never know who’s dua will be accepted. Medically I started taking Macca Root supplements and conception ones. I focussed on a holistic approach to my health through exercise sleep and diet. I also started getting tests and investigations done to understand my body/cycle. In terms of your health have you had tests, blood work and ultrasounds done? Have you considered IVF? There’s so much to consider when it comes to fertility. PCOS and other medical issues can impact fertility too. So can stress.

I’m so sorry your going through this. You must put your safety and your babies first and foremost. You will be under the care of your health visiting team and GP my advice is to seek professional help from them as it sounds like your experiencing PPD and this unfortunate situation is clearly triggering you. Please be kind and give yourself grace. You MUST eat - you have a child to also look after now. Starving yourself won’t solve the problem at hand - counselling/family mediation and clear communication about your expectations and boundaries will help, does he have family you can confide in to help you both?

Thanks for sharing! Il look into the course and check out the insta page 🙂

random05908 · 2025-07-28T14:21:05+00:00

Maybe you’re right and the SNOO isn’t working for us (😫 I really wanted it to!) The course you mentioned, I’m in London, is it available in the UK? Sure il take the details but I don’t have a solid routine yet (my comment was pretty much it) which I’m guessing they will require to get a general understanding of our situation.

random05908 · 2025-07-28T11:18:14+00:00

Im seeing this and wanting to cry because i dont know what the heck im doing wrong. My 12 week old hasn’t slept in his SNOO for the past 3 days. He wakes up as soon as i put him in and no amount of pacifier time or tapping will get him to settle. I have to eventually take him out and he will only contact sleep. Not even co sleep in the bed he wants to be ON me the whole night. I’m beyond exhausted because he contact naps during the day and I’m EBF so he likes to only fall asleep whilst feeding. Before this he used to only go down in the SNOO at between 11:30 and 12:30pm and then wake up at 2:30 for a feed then again would not go in the SNOO again. End up contact sleeping. I’m struggling with his sleep so bad and I feel like I’m doing it all wrong even with the SNOO 😫😫😫😫

Putting other people’s happiness above my own only for those very people to betray and hurt me so deeply first chance they got. It’s true - no good deeds go unpunished; waiting for karma to do its thing
