Terrible terrible sleeper

My son has never done a stretch longer than 3 hours ever and that is very very rare in itself. He relies on feeding back to sleep, rocking, being walked around the room. At this point I am truly shattered. I have always been against sleep training but some nights I am so shattered and as I’m on my own I just can’t cope anymore I leave him to cry thinking he will tire himself out, nope. He can go on and on and on. I am just at the end of my tether now. My first born was the exact same and she still wakes up around 4x per night at 5 years old but she settles within seconds if I just go in and put a hand on her as she wants to feel someone is there. I just want to know what I am doing wrong. I’ve tried shorter naps longer naps white noise co sleeping longer wake windows shorter wake windows more food in the day, nothing

Here to say I’m here with you. We typically have 3 to 4 wakes a night where he needs to be rocked or fed to sleep. Absolutely shattered and now considering some light sleep training as we do think he has developed quite strong sleep associations :(

Private parts

Soo, my five year old foster kiddo has been with us for about three months now and he is constantly grabbing his penis to the point he makes it hard. I haven't had to deal with this ever, so I'm not quite sure how to handle it. I've tried telling him he can only touch it when he's alone, going to the bathroom, or washing it, but he hasn't stopped. I don't want to shame him over something that's natural, but I also don't want him grabbing himself in front of people. Help!

Which laundry detergent are you using?

Hi all, what laundry detergent are you using? I know fairy tends to be the go to for most, but I really don't like the smell of it.

Any suggestions on others?

Where are we changing our babies?

Hey y’all! My baby is 5 months. I used to change her on her dresser changing pad, now she’s a tornado and I had to bring out the halo bassinet to change her in for safety reasons. Eventually she will grow out of it, now I’m thinking… where are you guys change your baby? Cause the crib at some point will be lowered, bassinet too small, floor is very low, and a dresser seems to be unsafe(at least for now)

Drying milk supply

I’ve decided after 18 weeks of exclusively pumping that I am done. Switching to formula but obviously I know I can’t just stop pumping.

I’ve cut down to 3 pumps a day (plus an 8 min pump in the middle of the night because uncomfortable) and i’m producing the same, if not more than I was on 4/5 pumps a day. Currently producing around 900ml on 3/4 pumps.

How long will it take for my supply to stop? I just want it over with😢
