3 month old fights sleep

I’m a new mom and I feel overwhelmed when my baby fights sleep. I feel like I’m the only one struggling this much. Does anyone else feel this way? I’ve done it all, monitored her sleep to make sure she doesn’t go into overtired, rocked, shooshed, bounced,slow transitions. I’m feeling really overwhelmed.

My baby wont sleep unless im laying with him or holding him. The only thing that has helped is the temperature control halo sack. I breastfeed him on the bed and when he falls asleep I slip away. The sack keeps him asleep for longer.

My babe went through the exact same thing at 3 months, it was awful and I felt like I was the only one too. I was extremely overwhelmed with it. Know that you are not alone, it’s a normal developmental phase and it does pass! Take deep breaths when you need to and try and tell yourself that it’s only a season and will get better. I know it feels like foreeever when you’re in it though ❤️

When you had a baby and you decided to breast feed did you feel that nurses were pushing formula?

My baby is not even 2 days old and she's been nursing super well according to the lactation specialist. She was born by c section so weight loss is expected to be higher than by vaginal birth due to the fluids given. I'm booked into see my doctor for the baby and I and lactation consultant at the doctors yet this nurse won't stop asking if I want to give formula so she can pee more and gain back her weight fast.

You just changed your baby’s diaper, but realise you have to use the bathroom. Do you wash your hands..

Should I make a poll series on hand washing because I’ve been here long enough to know it’s not happening as much as it should lol

Are we just staying in bed for 12 hours a night?

Right now I’m going to bed when my baby does at 8pm and staying there until his morning wake usually around 7. Does anyone else do this? He sleeps on top of me and usually wakes up and just crawls back on me when I try to put him down. What are your tips for sneaking away?

Reducing formula feeds

I've just been told by my nursery that they wont give bottles of/and formula from 1 year one, my little boys 1 in 3 weeks.
Looking for advice on how to reduce his formula intake?
Hes loves both food and milk 🫣 I think he will drink cows milk so that's not the issue im more concerned about the fact that hes in a routine with his bottles.

Baby won’t go in pram

Hi my 9 week old hates the pram. She screams the entire time she’s in there. I’m at a loss. She’s never liked it. She will go in the baby carrier happily but is completely against the pram. Any advice
