Feeling like a horrible mom

My husband has been out of town for work the last 3 days. We have a 4 year old, 3 year old, and 6 month old. I fell asleep on the couch while breastfeeding my 6 month old and she rolled off the couch. She cried for a couple minutes and then went back to sleep. I feel so bad 😭

babies are so resilient as long as she’s ok she’ll be ok. I know it might seems so heartbreaking but she’ll be alright

For me when I knew I was a dangerous level of tired, I would make a “fort” on the bed and breastfeed and co sleep. I have a king size bed so plenty of space. My daughter at 6 mo would sometimes roll over and breastfeed herself. She's 9 mo I still co sleep

Everyone has a similar "bad mum" story, the mum guilt is real! Your baby is fine, she wouldn't have gone back to sleep if she wasn't. Try not to beat yourself up about it.

Boobs/breasts

At what point do the breasts stop getting big during exclusive breastfeeding 😒I am 12 weeks, and they seem to still get big. One breast seems bigger than the other ones. It is stressing me out.

Bassinet for newborn

Hi all! So we have a stroller (maxi cosí) but it doesn’t have the bassinet with it.. I’m wondering if it’s essential for when baby is tiny and wants to sleep.. does my normal seat being in recline mode enough for this? Thanks!
