Sleep again 😭

My 14 month old has never slept all night ever 😭 She will sleep in her cot for 2/3 hours then cry I soothe her back to sleep or feed her but half an hour she’s up again and then 20 mins after that I usually give in and bring her to bed with me where she will continue to toss turn and feed 😭 Is it worth me…

Domperidone

Hi all! My breast milk supply has dipped significantly at 5 months postpartum, for no apparent reason. I went to a lactation consultant and she gave me several suggestions that I’ve been applying.
