    Congratulations on the baby! If she’s still waking for feeds, feed her. 10 weeks is still very very very small. She will still cluster feed until she’s about 4 months.

    For any mums breastfeeding out there, please be reassured that your period coming back, fussy behaviour, long feeds and sucking hard is not an indication of low supply, but completely normal behaviour for a 6 week old baby. Saying that however it is absolutely your choice whether you with to carry on at that point (or any point) and 6 weeks is Still an amazing amount of time to BF, as is 6 hour or 6 months :) just please don't worry about low supply because of these things xx

      Totally agreed!! I went through all of that. It’s definitely not an indication of low supply. Just kept going and it got so much better. We are 19 months still breastfeeding. I think us mums need more help and support with breastfeeding, it’s actually more rare for a low supply to happen apparently? It just seems like we have low supply, especially if you try pump and barley get anything. That’s what happened to me but my boobs never reacted the same with the pump as my baby that’s why I wasn’t able to pump a lot I think! Truly hope these comments help other BF mums to push through if they feel like they want to. It is stressful thinking you have low supply but most of the time we don’t ❤️ the newborn stage is hard for BF but it gets so much easier x

      Totally agree. My periods came back after about three months but i breastfed until my baby was a year old with no problems. Not an indicator that your supply is running out.

      Thank god someone said it! Breastfeeding can be such a hard journey - I'm so envious of everyone who finds it easy as I haven't! But I'm persevering. Insinuating that you have to stop breastfeeding because you've started menstruating can be really damaging to someone who might not have support or information.

      She’s getting low supply because she’s restricting the night feeds to her newborn baby! It’s so sad and harmful to baby not just developmentally but also for bonding too 😢

Mollys voice is so soothing and make me feel less anxious coming from someone who dealing with such bad anxiety it’s like a god send🥹laying in bed at 2am struggling to sleep and catching up on mollys video is the best feeling❤️keep doing you Molly!

    For all the new breastfeeding mums out there worrying about your supply or the length of your feeds. At 6 weeks old 2 hours is normal. It's called cluster feeding. And you can absolutely get your periods back when breastfeeding and this is not an indication of low supply. I got my period back at 6 weeks post partum and I'm still breastfeeding 8 months on. Molly I'm proud you breastfed for 6 weeks but please be careful of spreading misinformation! Also 6 months is the norm and what is adviced by medical professionals for starting to drop night feeds for formula fed babies, not 10 weeks. So all you mummas out there who's babies are still waking for feeds... It's normal ❤

    • @Ilovetaylorswift744
      @Ilovetaylorswift744 ปีที่แล้ว +34

      Yes cluster feeding is totally normal, the baby is going through big growth spurts and developmental milestones at that age. Go with your baby, the more you feed them the more milk you'll produce. It does get easier, sleep when baby sleeps😊

    • @Bex199
      @Bex199 ปีที่แล้ว +79

      Omg molly if she’s waking up wanting a feed, please give it to her, she could be going through a growth spurt and your denying her food to help her with that 🙈 if a baby wakes crying, it’s because she’s either hungry, has wind, needs a nappy changing or she’s teething (a bit early for that though) I feel like your really need speak to a health visitor for advice 😬

    • @liisu4444
      @liisu4444 ปีที่แล้ว +37

      Yes, you need to offer milk every 3hours until 8 weeks and night feedings should be offered until 6 months.
      Definitely speak with a neonatologist before cutting the night feeding at such young age!!!!!

    For a 10 week old baby they should be feed a few times in the night! It's helps they development! She shouldn't be going that long without a feed. 'From a developmental perspective, babies are able to sleep through the night - defined as a six- to eight-hour stretch - without eating when they're between 4 and 6 months old. In this age range, most babies reach the 12- to 13-pound mark, the weight where they no longer metabolically need nighttime feedings.' Xx

    Hey Molly, just some advice about the suit in the car seat. The risk isn't as much Bambi overheating, the reason babies shouldn't wear coats or car suits in a car seat is because the seatbelts are going to be sat on top of a layer of padding, rather than against the babies body, causing the harness to fit incorrectly, so if there was a collision or crash, bambi wouldn't be safe. A collision can happen 2 minutes away from home, and even if you're a safe driver. An unsafe driver could crash into you. Please research why coats/snow suits shouldn't be used in car seats for Bambi xx

      Honestly I don’t even think I left the house for the first month!! I was like a zombie! I don’t even remember the first 2 months of my daughters life due to sleep deprivation! But things really DO get easier and you’ll find your own way of doing things and your own routine and rhythm and you’ll start to adjust to your new life. No one tells you this stuff before you have a child. Or if they do it is glossed over! All the photos on social media of my daughters first month show her all beautiful and clean and snuggled up asleep where as If I’d taken a picture of myself I was in stained pyjamas with greasy Un-brushed hair and huge bags under my eyes! But we don’t show the world that side of being a new mum! Things will get easier for you and I’m sure you are doing a great job!!! Good luck lovely! Xx

    You look fantastic and Bambi is adorable!! I just wanted to say for other mums maybe on here who have listened to your story re breastfeeding that it is common for babies to feed up to an hour or more at 2 weeks, 6 weeks and 3 months. They are cluster feeding to build up your supply as they transition through a growth spurt. There is the same amount of milk but they will cluster for days/weeks to get your milk supply right. Just an FYI for those who may think they have no supply and might give up without wanting to. You smashed it by doing it for 6 full weeks, it's so hard but creates such a lovely bond. ❤❤

  • @jessicacripps7640

    Hey Molly (and any other new mums), the advice not to wear the pram suit in the car seat isn't because bub can overheat. It's because in an accident the seatbelt will compress the pram suit and bub can slip out of the car seat because of the extra room in the seat belt. Always take off the pram suit (or thick jumper), then just lay it over bub once they're properly buckled in.

    I just want to put it out there for anyone watching this. Two hours latching is normal. It’s cluster feeding. It doesn’t mean you don’t have enough milk. It also doesn’t mean your supply is going and your baby doesn’t get enough milk. It’s so normal. Only 5-10% of women who actually breastfeed have a reduced supply.
    Chances are baby is getting plenty, but they are just going through a developmental phase key to their growth. Anyone reading this if you aren’t sure - wonder weeks app is amazing at explaining the different changes they are going through and reiterates how they’ll react when going through them.
    Simple signs are cluster feeding, clingy, not settling etc. Completely normal baby behaviour 😊

    2hr feeds are normal, cluster feeding in the early days are a thing and definitely normal when it comes to breastfeeding. Well done on feeding her all that goodness in the first 6 weeks!

      @@simplyytips i'm glad you and some others picked up on this and commented. I don't know who is advising her to deny her 10 week old milk for 7 hours but its terrible advice. Because we live in a time now where more mums than ever are working, things like sleep training and schedules for newborns is being normalised when its infact so damaging to babies and will affect their development in many ways as they grow. Before women have children, they need to be very aware that they have to adapt their lives around the baby, not the other way around.

    It’s biologically normal for babies to continue to wake through the night.
    You shouldn’t drop their night feeds. 10 weeks is too little to stop night feeds.
    They are growing.. they need food!
    It’s actually recommended to slowly drop their night feeds at 6 months.. but even then they still wake up hungry.
    My baby didn’t start sleeping through the night until 10 months and stopped night feeds at 8 months.

    Hi Molly, well done for getting to 6 weeks of breastfeeding ❤ If Bambi is hard to settle back to sleep during the night, it may be that she still needs those feeds. I think the recommendation is to try and wean the night feeds around 6 months for formula fed babies 🙂 Of course every baby is different, my daughter started sleeping through the night on her own around 12 weeks. I’m sure your health care provider will tell you what’s best and will keep an eye on her weight

    As a mother of 3 small children I can say. They will tell you when they don’t need feeding. She’s waking up because she is hungry… looking for milk.
    Just feed your child in the night.. simple as that. I know it’s hard being up and being tired. But it goes so fast and before you know it and they are sleeping through..

  • @sumaya444xo

    congratulations molly! ur daughter is adorable 💞 i had my daughter at 20 and she’s 8 months now. i never really like people telling me what to do with my baby but i do want to quickly say what made things a lot easier for me and what i wish i knew sooner.
    if baby is still waking up at night feed her, at 10 weeks they’re only drinking few ounces (just assuming for you) so they most likely will get hungry again soon. if baby is getting all the milk she wants during the day it could lead to her being satisfied throughout the night
    for me having baby sitting up right for her to wind worked wonders for me. best position for winding. gripe water helps with the discomfort from gas
    last thing, to get baby to sleep through the night have the same night time routine every night ( i used to hate being told this because newborns do what they want, how can you put a routine in place when they wake up when they want 😭) but keep bedtime roughly around the same time every night, bedtime is always in a dark room with a dimmed lamp if you want so you can see, white noise helps babies sleep and before you know it they’ll get used to it all and start to understand that this is the time to sleep. my daughter sleeps amazingly after having a bath. bath time, fresh nappy/clothes, warm bottle dark/ dimmed room… perfect 💞 also in the mornings draw the curtains, let light in so it can be nice and bright, then bedtime close up for a darker room. babies don’t have the same circadian rhythm as us when they’re born but being in brightness during the day and darkness at night helps regulate that for them. keep daytime naps in a bright room and only make the room dark for bedtime. this will help them understand the difference in daytime and bedtime.
    i hope this helps xx i’m never judging i want motherhood to easily on all of us so i love to share what’s helped me especially after having a baby so young. love you molly keep doing u, you’re honestly amazing and so inspiring xx

      These are great tips! My baby is 10 months and these are all things I wish I'd known sooner!
      Another little thing I found worked great before bath time was taking 5 to 10 minutes walk outside in a baby sling, the fresh air just knocked mine right out for bed 😝
      Night feeds are so hard especially when baby doesn't fit the norm.. my little guy woke up every 2 hours until he was nearly 8 months! I was told once he started solids around 6 months he would sleep better but mine also teethed quiet early, first tooth at 3.5 months and had 6 teeth by 7 months (now had 8 at 10 months🙈)! Then one day randomly he slept through the night at 8 months, when I woke up naturally at 5 am and realised he hadn't woke since midnight I never jumped out of that bed so fast to go check on him 😂

    I’m a mum and my baby was a snacker for the first 3 months. He would snack by the ounce for 8 weeks straight which meant I had no sleep for 2 months. Slowly that increased to hour and half and so on. Please do t drop feeds in the 4th trimester. If she’s waking up for a feed please feed her. My baby is 1 now and has a good diet during the day yet still wants 2 bottle feeds during the night. Each baby is different. But don’t deny feeds as they have growth spurts and some days will increase their intake.

    ☆ Cluster feeds and night feeds should be baby led on demand. Till they start newborn/infant solids so 4mths to 6mos depending on Pediatrician Doctor, baby, and parents.

    Also the thick suit in car seat is not so much for overheating as it is for safety in the straps. The thicker outfit means straps are not as snug to her. If she wore that to bed at night then yes overheating could be an issue depending on weather.

    Getting a period is not an indication of low breastmilk supply. Everybodys hormones are different so everyone gets monthly cycle back at diff times. How much she was getting while nursing is usually different to how much comes out whilst pumping. That doesnt mean she was not getting enough milk. That means that is how long feeds take her.

    My 2nd baby was same always attached to me. My sanity went bezerk but it was what baby needed for emotional affectionate bonding. My firstborn wasnt much easier. They are 7 and 3. Night wakes dont always get much better depending on ec kids personalities. What we want as parents goes out the window unfortunetly and we tend to our children how they Each Individually Require it ALL. 🥰😇😍🤩

    I’m glad I’ve come onto the comments and seen people giving advice and knowledge in a kind way. Every new mum needs help and everyone gets stuff wrong!
    Babies at 10 weeks shouldn’t be going through the night without a feed, and if a baby is waking for a feed you shouldn’t deprive them of that at such a young age.
    Also, the 2 hour feeds would be cluster feeding. Which is SO normal and not a sign of low supply. Not all babies do it but it is so common and a way of upping supply and/or because they’re having a growth spurt.
    Really hope Molly reads these comments and takes the advice with night feeds! Xx

    You definitely need to feed Bambi during the night. From 11pm - 7am is a really really long time for a 10 week old baby. Also 2 hours is super normal for a breastfeeding session. If you’ve decided that you want to use a bottle that’s completely fine but you need to make sure you’re feeding her properly. It’s like not feeding you all day she’ll be starving and not get the right nutrients or development without milk for 8 hours. Please please talk to your midwife / care team about this.

    If you a new mum watching this and you baby is feeding for two hours, it’s not because there is no milk there. It’s completely normal they are cluster feeding to up your supply and breastfeeding is so much more than just getting milk and just because you have your period doesn’t meant to say you have a low supply. Also at 3 not even 3 months old a baby shouldn’t have night feeds dropped if they are waking. I hate to be negative but it can be detrimental to a breastfeeding journey to hear information like this.

My friends mum is a midwife and taught me a couple of tricks as my daughter suffered terribly with trapped wind. Also putting her between your knees side ways to you and rock your knees from side to side can help too! I also found that if I had my baby over my shoulder and went down the stairs the motion made her burp! You will find your own way of doing things, and you are doing so well!!
