But last night she did a ten hour stretch and she's just drifted off to sleep without a boob in her mouth for the second night in a row (only times ever!)

Just want to celebrate the surprise and say thank you for all the support on this sub, which gave us the motivation to hold on. I've said it now so it'll probably fall apart again tonight, but at least it's possible 🥲 nothing changed, just time.

Side note - instead of feeding to sleep she has been unlatching, straining like she's producing an almighty turd for a minute or two, and then she's out. Definitely no poo and fine in that department all day. Is this just her unique style of self soothing... If so I've never been prouder 😅

Hi there

Our daughter turned 6 months today and for the last 3 days seems to be having night terrors. The first and third (today) nights were about ten minutes after I'd fed her to sleep and was still holding her. Gradual escalation from fussing in sleep to a couple of minutes of screaming, eyes closed throughout. Last night was after an 11pm feed so again I was still holding her, straight to crying but only lasted 30 seconds or so. Just cuddled her and shushed throughout and she dropped into a deep enough sleep for me to put her in her cot like two minutes later. No recurrence through the night, no other signs of illness, distress or overtiredness/ dysregulation. Some signs of teething though, don't know if they're linked?

Online it says night terrors are rare in infants and you should consult a doctor if they're regular but what the heck counts as regular! Thank you x
