Co sleeping

My baby is 7 months old and sleeps in our bed every night and for her day naps too. 3 day naps of 1 hour each and I have to lay with her and breast feeding her to sleep. Will not take a dummy at all from the time she was 2 to 3 months old have tried again but no luck.
Wondering does any other mum have this same issue and how can I help her go transition and sleep in her own bed. She was sleeping in the co sleeper from when she was born and since she has turned 4 to 5 months old just won’t sleep on her own.

My baby is 5 months I’m also struggling with this. We’ve coslept since birth bc of my anxiety tbh and we just recently started the crib. I have to rock her to the sound of simple songs nap time of YouTube and she usually naps good in it but bed time she won’t sleep longer than a few hrs in it. My baby also refuses a paci. We also have the crib in our room too. I’m hoping since she naps and plays in the crib more she’ll sleep at night. We are only on day 4 with the crib tho

Same here. Co sleeps and Won't take a paci.. I'm worried she needs feeding as a sleep aid . Wonder how it'll go when i return to work with broken sleep.

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. 🥺

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? 🥲

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?

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?

Self settling

Any tips or advice of how to teach 6.5month old to self settle? I’m up multiple times in the night to cuddle her back to sleep and put the dummy in. I understand she will wake up and want a cuddle etc but any tips on self settling would be appreciated 🥰
