Multiple children or one and done

So I have always kind of envisioned having 2 kids but now that I have my daughter I feel like idk if I want another forsure but then I start feeling sad because I would love another child and also give my daughter a sibling.

For reference my daughter is just 3 months old and I definitely do not want to get pregnant anytime soon but I just think about for the future. In terms of mental health it’s like the first few weeks were very very hard and idk if I want to go through it ever again.

Did anyone feel like this? Or when did you start feeling like yeah I can do this again? Or did you stick to only having one child?

Baby 4 days old

All my baby does is sleep the last 2 days, he wakes for breast milk every 2-3 hours and may stay awake for 5-10 minutes after. He has slight jaundice but the midwife wasn’t concerned. Nothing keeps him awake, is this normal?

Baby wants boobs all the time

I'm 4.5 weeks postpartum and baby just seems to wants to be on my breasts all the time especially in the evening. As such, we tend to give her some pumped breast milk as that would satisfy her for awhile. It also seems someone else would need to hold her otherwise she continues to root and wanting my breasts but would otherwise stop if someone else held her. Is this normal? I'm doubting myself if she is feeding efficiently and so I tend to pump a bit more often so I can see how much she is taking but it is tiring to do combo feeding. She has at least 6 wet nappies in a day but her weight growth is a bit slower.

Sleep training

Any recos on sleep training? Baby only does contact naps, doesn’t like sleeping on her own and isn’t soothing herself back to sleep everytime I try to get her to nap on her own. I’ve tried warm clothes and mattress, keeping my tshirt next to her till she falls asleep, white noise is always on. Baby is 3.5 months rn and I go back to work next week.

Drinking whilst breastfeeding

Is it safe to have a glass of wine whilst breast feeding or not? Some people say it’s fine others say differently

Mentally and physically exhausted

11 week old won’t sleep in the day longer than 20/30 minutes she’s just up for hours at a time and then when she’s overtired it’s a nightmare to get her to sleep anyone else going through this ?
