@ptindasky Oh this is so interesting to hear. He'll be able to start trying the occasional purée soon by 4 months, so I'm hoping to talk to his nurse during his 4 month check up and see if we could potentially try some porridge in the evening given some time, to get him to stay full for longer...

@jesusmaybeblessed232 Hi! Haha 😂 Oof... Yeah. My son also woke to eat 6 times, if we weren't cosleeping I'd be going insane by now. Googling yesterday I found out that someone called this "the 3 month breastfeeding crisis", and that this is the most common time to stop and switch to formula...

@jesusmaybeblessed232 Solidarity and sympathy ❤️ I feel you - we have a mom to mom support line here and I've seriously considered calling. Your LO must've been born the 21st of July then? My son turns 4 months on Tuesday next week too!

@cbaumgardner Surely feels forever yes 🤣 it's so hard to entertain them during the day when you're a zombie yourself! Glad to hear from someone that made it out on the other side 😂

@keithrils Oh jeez. Good tip, I might try that! Here he just hit himself with a toy, and then wouldn't stop crying because he also hadn't eaten in 2.5h, so I took the opportunity to stick him to the boob. Once he got distracted I switched to the other side and managed to get 7 minutes nursing...

@brotherterry Yeah, during the night I've tried giving the paci but it hasn't so far gotten him to settle. I'm currently trying to lengthen it during the day to encourage him to eat more, and right now I managed to get him to eat 7 minutes total from both sides. I've got a LOT of milk for it to...

@lupo Interesting. So maybe moving the bedside crib to my husband's side of the bed, and letting him try to soothe to sleep first before moving the baby over to me perhaps? At least we'd get some use out of the crib with that 😬 if nothing changes in the coming days, we might try it. This night...

@jesus77777 Oh that sounds so hard! I feel with you. ❤️

@jasonws I mean sure they're going through a growth spurt, but it's not like knowing that helps us feel less exhausted, fatigued, desperate, at our wits end, etc. It doesn't suddenly make the nights easier to go through, or give us a burst of energy. It sucks. My son also sucks at napping and I...

@turnip52 ❤️ here's to hoping it ends soon for both of us!

@tribmartyr I follow her on Instagram! Really valuable, as well as thebreastfeedingmentor. I know it's the regression, I just didn't realise it could come with a TON of nursing. Yesterday from midnight to midnight I had nursed for 1.5 hours in total, 21 times 😵‍💫🫠 really wishing for an end in...

@orthodoxdavid I can check it out! Tbh, if I was used to the boob I would also prefer it to a plastic bottle 😂 I'm on leave until end of May 2024, wherein my husband will take over and be on leave for 6 months. So I'm off 10 months total 😊

@orthodoxdavid You and me both!! Holy cannoli, I'd love to know if there ever was an end in sight 🙈 this little man refuses bottle too the times we've tried... Even now just pushes it away 😅

@llee We'll have to try it during the weekend. My husband does all the chores at home and takes him during evenings and weekends, but he drives a lot when he works and I don't want to risk him being in a car accident due to sleep deprivation. Last night was a little more manageable - he ate only...

@increasinglygrateful This is a good suggestion. Try a few times then offer boob if that doesn't work. We'll try it during the weekend, and I'll see if I can get him to eat for longer stretches during the day. I'll just have to find a REALLY boring corner of the house to sit and nurse in, and...

@wefybqefb What did you do to help him find other ways of soothing during the night? I've tried gently hushing and giving him the pacifier several times, but normally this just increases his stirring and restlessness and I end up having to give him the boob 🥲 I did know the thing about sleep...

@kimv I have a friend, her baby started sleeping through the night at 2 months and has had no sleep regression. To say I'm jealous is an understatement 🫠 and both my mom and my sister are horrified hearing about how we have it, but I'm pretty sure they had these periods too, they just don't...

@truthseekah Offering sympathies and solidarity 🫠🥲

Hi, first time poster here, and also a FTM. My son is currently 1 week shy of 4 months. For the past 5 weeks we've been in some sort of feeding hell that's slowly been chipping away at my sanity, and apparently also my ability to stay asleep. We're EBF, and we have finally gotten to a place...
