Baby update

Hi October mamas! My baby is 10 weeks old and I honestly can’t believe how fast the time is going?? How are all your October babies doing? My baby has gone from 2-3 hour wakes in the night to a 5 (sometimes 6 if I’m lucky!!!) stint. She still needs a feed at about 5am, we have lots of smiles and she follows us with her eyes now. I was honestly in the trenches those first few weeks but i feel like the fog is finally starting to lift and I’m allowing myself to enjoy motherhood (I am still tired AF🤣). Would love to hear how everyone else and their babies are doing ❤️

It is amazing how fast it goes. My little boy is 7 weeks and a bit now, such a chilled happy soul. Last 4 days he's been asleep from 11pm to 7am so will see if this hopefully new routine

Yes my little girl is also 10 weeks and it's going so blooming fast isn't it!? Completely agree it's settling down and doesn't feel as daunting and so nice to have little responses likes smiles and babbling when I chat to her. Glad you're starting to enjoy your new role x

Congratulations to you! The time is so precious especially in those early weeks when they’re changing every day 🫶 My little girl is 7 weeks old now! Going super quick! Loving seeing my firstborn be a big brother too.. it’s the sweetest 💗 2 under 2 is so busy but we are getting there and feeling so much more settled. Also getting so many smiles recently mostly reacting to my voice. She’s started sleeping from 11 till 7 (sometimes till 10am) so feeling a lot more refreshed and excited for our first Christmas as a four 🎄❤️

So glad to hear all your babies are doing well ladies ❤️ and thank goodness for SLEEP! 🤣 long may it continue. I had a few nights at the beginning where I literally only a slept an hour and thought how am i going to keep this up?? Hope you all have a wonderful Christmas with your families ❤️🎁

Out of interest when did the stints get longer? My 8 week old is still doing 2-3 hours and I’m wondering if it will ever change!

Oh this has only become a thing in the last week and a half i would say! Me and my LO just happened to fall into a slight routine around 8 weeks so we do the same thing every night and tbh her sleep still varies! The night before she slept from 11-5AM then 5:30am-9 where as last night she slept 11-2 then 3-7! X

Wow so many of your babies are sleeping 11-7, are you feeding on demand? Or every 3 hours? When do you give last bottle? X

@Georgia mines the same at 8 weeks. praying for a day we get longer than 3 hours 🤣

@Hannah he did one random 5 hour stint but then it never happened again 😅

@Jestina feed my daughter on demand (goes anywhere from 2 to 4 hours during the day) She’s exclusively breastfed and has her final feed at 10.30pm x

@Becca thanks for the reply :) how many hours does your baby nap for during the day? Sorry about all the questions, I’m a first time mum just trying to figure all of this out 😫

@Jestina we have no routine set but definitely between every feed 😊 no worries at all, motherhood is pretty much a guessing game just trying to work things out.. even the second time round!xx

Hello! My baby is 11 weeks + 2 days today, honestly time has flown by! It’s Christmas next Wednesday already 🎅🏻🎄 hope you’re set for that!! She is definitely sleeping longer at night now which has given me some much deserved sleep 😴 we give her last feed around 9/10pm and she will usually sleep until 6am but it does vary sometimes I’ll breastfeed her at 11pm and she’ll wake in the night but if my partner gives her a bottle of pumped milk (6oz) it’s usually around 9pm she will sleep longer. I’m really enjoying her smiles and babbling stage at the moment😊 💗
