Independent sleep

I think I want to practice independent sleep when my baby turns one, how is the best way to start doing this?
Her sleep has just started to calm down though after a lot of night wakes and cosleeping, so I also don’t want to mess that up, and she’s also adjusting to me going to work which is affecting her naps

What’s the current routine, and what’s the end goal - stop co sleeping? Or more like be able to put her down and leave the room and she just falls asleep without intervention? X

When is it weird?

I've seen a handful of posts talking about nudity in the house around young kids and I feel like it's agreed that it's normal for there to be a naked mom or to see mom naked, but my question is if it applies to dad? Is mom allowed to be naked (not in a creepy way obvi) but Dad has to be covered all the time? Is it okay if Dad is seen naked getting out of the shower/getting dressed?? Is it okay if he's boxers only in the house? And bath time, can they take a bath/shower with Dad while they're still little (like 6 or younger). Does it change if it's a son or daughter? If theres an age where it changes what is it?
**not including any weird or over sexualized behavior or motives because that's a separate topic and obviously those cases aren't ever okay**

Feeding

How many ounces is everyone’s baby on?
My 1 month old is on 4 and seems to still be hungry after bottles, but looking at the recommended dosage on the back of the tin of milk 5 ounces is usually for a 3 month old!

Daughter showing signs she wants a pillow

When did you all introduce pillows to your little ones? My daughter is turning one next week. During her naps and sometimes when we cosleep, she seems to seek out something to use as a pillow. Is she still too young to introduce one?

Weaning off formula

Hey ladies, how did you wean your baby off formula and how quickly do I need to do this? My baby just turned 1 year old. She's still on between 300 - 500mls of formula per day. We are trying to limit formula during the day but she's waking up hungry overnight. I feed her 3 main meals and I'm trying to bulk up the snacks as well. She refuses toddler formula, cows milk or any combo, so it's still infant formula. She's also been sick so we are hesitant to change too much right now. Any advice on this would be appreciated 🙏

Moses basket and cellular blanket issues?

My baby was born on Monday and she’s been in her Moses basket since then, however using her cellular blanket tucked under it gets all bunched up and then she’s not on a flat surface which isn’t safe as she could roll. Any tips?
