Anyone EBF and put on weight? I lost a lot of weight during my pregnancy and feel so disappointed in myself that I put it back on since having my LG. I thought breastfeeding was meant to help you lose weight 😂😭

My 10 week old is waking hourly help!

My breastfed baby has been waking up in the night every hour and I’m really struggling honestly. She has started rubbing the back of her hands over her face and it seems to be waking her. Is it because she’s breastfed? Is it pot luck for which babies sleep longer stretches? Any tips would be great! I’m at a loss 😢

Late Preterm Troubles

So, my daughter was delivered at 36 weeks, and my whole journey with her has been tough. Her time in the NICU has made the bottle-to-breast transition extremely difficult. Her pediatrician has warned me that she may be a little immature, and her slight tongue tie coupled with the fact that I have diabetes and had un...

Breastfed babies and sleep

Anyone’s exclusively breastfed baby sleeping through the night? My 6.5 month old still wakes up several times (once if I’m lucky). I had this problem with my two year old as a baby as well. I’m starting to think ebf babies don’t sleep well😅 I don’t do sleep training so it’s rough over here most nights.

Sleep Regression

My little one has always been a good sleeper but since just before she turned 9 months, we are in the thick of a sleep regression. She's up a few times a night and is taking 2 hours to settle. Anyone going through the same? Any advice or words of solidarity? It's 4.12am and I am not okay 😂 x

Ears ringing

So my boyfriend said his ear was ringing all day. His ear is still ringing yet he’s playing a game with ear buds in his ear. Can someone make sense of this? I don’t have tinnitus so I’m not sure if that makes sense of him to do?
