Baby sitting in cot and can’t lie down

Do you teach your baby to lie down or do they naturally learn? Our baby keeps sitting in her cot and we have to keep going in to lie her down, we’ve tried waiting but she just sits there and cries!

Low milk supply

My baby is 7 weeks and have been breastfeeding this whole time.
I express milk into bottles so my partner can feed but also use breast at night time and pump as a top up.

Today my milk supply has been next to nothing and I am not sure why. Feeds are consistently every 3 hours.

Anyone faced this issue?

Sleep help!

My baby is 11 months old and he has never slept though the night!

He is up every 1-2 hours in the night and wakes up at least 4 times. We try to settle him in the cot and if that doesn’t work then we try to settle him in our arms but it’s get to a point he is getting really stressed so I give him some milk to settle him.

We’ve tried to just eliminate the milk and replace with the water but it makes him worse.

He has the same routine every night- he has a book, gets changed and then a bottle. He has 3 meals and 2 snacks through the day and 1 4oz bottle in the morning after breakfast.

I need any help or advice for getting him to sleep through the night! Thank you

Saw another post about rear facing vs forward facing and was just amazed at responses….

The fear mongering around forward facing is incredible… rear facing obviously is preferable but people talk about it as if the alternative is negligent.
Rear-facing being safest often gets interpreted emotionally as “forward-facing is unsafe.” And they just are not the same thing.

I’ve got 3 kids and have done both for different reasons… Living in 2026, forward facing seats are continuously designed to be safer each year. Just wanted to put it out there as we often feel like we aren’t doing enough or are constantly scrutinised as mothers anyway. Do what’s best for your child, you aren’t a bad parent.

Does your partner help with the night shift?

I feel guilty for asking for help during the night as I know he has to work in the day but I’m shattered from doing all the night feeds (our baby is bottle fed) 😥

Transition to own room, cot or floor bed?

I have been cosleeping with my lo since he was 6 months, and he's now 10 months old.
I'm considering putting him in his own room as I don't think he needs me anymore, we've night weaned and that went really well and now he's started sleeping through the night and he doesn't need to be touching me to go to sleep hes quite happy sleeping on his own in our bed.
I'm considering getting him a floor bed. 1 so he can lots of space and 2 if he ever needs me in bed with him I can easily just go there but my questions when they figure out they can't get out of bed how do you stop them because with a cot its got the sides so they can't get out but what about a floor bed? How are we keeping them safe? All I can think is when he gets to like toddler age he'll likely be in and out bed a lot.
