Baby won’t settle (5 weeks)

Tonight is literally the worst night we’ve ever had. Every time my baby lays on her back for even a second she chokes and SCREAMS the place down. I’ve never heard her scream like that ever.

Who has more say over baby, mom or dad?

For example, if I say I don’t want to see my MIL and I don’t want my child around her… what happens if the father says “you have to go” or “okay u stay home but I’ll take the baby”..?? I may be in the wrong here, but my whole body goes into shock around this woman after years of manipulation and my mommy protective...

Creating bad habits?

My son as just turned 8months old. He was a really good sleeper and oh how that has changed! I used to give him a dream feed but at most he would take 4oz sometimes even less so I stopped.
