Baby won’t sleep in crib

Hi I just wanted to post on here to get some opinions/ advice if you e gone through this.

I have a 3 month old baby who was a great sleeper and slept in his bassinet no problem at night.

Last week we brought his crib in and put it beside our bed as he kept waking himself up by hitting the edges of his bassinet. He did great all week in his crib and then three nights ago he just wouldn’t go down.

So for the last 3 nights he will only go to sleep in our bed. I’m terrified of bed sharing and know the risks, so I’ve been following the safe seven and also just not sleeping. So I’m on day 3 of no sleep sitting up watching my baby and husband sleep. I know this isn’t sustainable and I have no idea what to do.

He’s sleeping like an angel in our bed but I want him to sleep safely in his own space. If anyone has gone through this let me know what worked for you

Ps my husband has a job where he needs to be rested for safety reasons and has been waking up a bit early to give me a couple hours of sleep before he leaves for work. And if I really needed to tap out for safety he would get up.

When do things get easier?

As we entered the 9-12 month stage, my son started crawling and pulling himself up. He also became more clingy and does not play alone, still doesnt sleep through the night, and this week has been sick (so EVERYTHING amplified). I am tired and overwhelmed. Please lie and tell me things get better. 🥺

4 month bed time

What time do you put your babies to bed?
What time do you start your 'routine?'
My LO currently goes to bed around 10.30pm, and I know i need to start bringing it forward. Everytime ive tried, it takes longer for my LO to settle.
We are exclusively breastfeeding. Any advice Mamas?

Colostrum storing?

Has anyone successfully extracted colostrum before the baby’s born? Apparently it gets produced from 16w pregnant and you can start storing it in the freezer but I’m 34w looking at my nipples and the syringes on amazon wondering how it works?? Like what did you use and did it hurt? 🥲

6 month old autistism

My 6 month old makes no eye contact with me and doesn’t respond when I call him. Can this just be a phase or personality trait as apposed to autism

Baby with chronic congestion

Hi everyone! My 1 year has been a congested baby since birth almost. She breathes through her mouth so often that it wakes her up multiple times at night and she cries and screams and then struggles to go back to sleep. She wakes up every 1-3 hours and sometimes can’t go back to sleep for 2-3 hours!!! Piriton is the only thing that seems to help her sleep mostly through the night but I can’t keep giving her that!!
Does anyone have tips as to have I can do or give her? Has anyone experienced? I have no idea when I’ll get an ENT appointment and I have no idea what he can give a 13 mo :( we are desperate for sleep so any tips are welcome!! We have tried steam inhalation, saline drops, vapour rubs and everything off the counter basically!

Combi feeding advice

Has anyone gone from EBF to combi feeding? Currently do one bottle of EBM per night and they one half formula half breast milk mixed in the day. The other times she still feeds on me. Ideally I want to feed all day via bottle and all night with breast. She’s 7 weeks and takes a bottle well, how long should I leave it before adding another bottle to her daily routine?
