@47ford Glad I’m not the only one 😅 The next abbreviation I could think of was domestic violence and I knew that wasn’t it…

@llg06 Waking to eat 2-3 times a night at that age is incredibly normal. He’s barely even out of the newborn potato phase right now. It should get better eventually without intervention, but you can actively start night weaning once he’s 6 months old. In the meantime, do you have a partner at...
