No Sleep training

I’m struggling with sleep training my 12 month old, second time. First time I gave up on day 3, because the gentle check in method ended up feeling like a CIO with baby facing literal fear and stress when placed in the crib or crib room. Now second time trying gradual method. By fading out one association at a time. He’s on one nap now. The entire night would keep nursing and latched every few minutes. And does only contact naps. If anyone did a gradual method, what was that like? If not sleep trained what does that look like?

How does your baby sleep

I feel ashamed to admit that my 8 week old baby sleeps on my chest at night - and I fall asleep too. I’m propped up in a reclined position, I’m sober and non-smoking, it’s only me and my baby in bed (husband in spare bedroom).

I obviously tried putting my baby on her back, in her crib, in our bed, swaddled, all sorts - but she would always grunt, squirm, kick her legs so much she often woke herself up crying within half an hour. I know it is somewhat normal for babies to have “active sleep” but it just seemed impossible for us to get a decent night without having to “wake, feed, settle” a million times. I dreaded bedtime every day until she started sleeping on my chest - she sleeps so peacefully in long stretches, and I sleep much better too. Bedtime becomes bonding time and I genuinely love the closeness between us!

However, I feel terrible because (a) all the articles saying this poses significant SIDS risks and (b) am I creating bad habits - is it going to be really difficult to transition her into a back-sleeping position (in her own crib) when she’s older? Advice would be much appreciated x

Sleeping on his front

My little boy has started sleeping on his front, 5 months old. He sleeps with his hands on his face, face down. I’m so paranoid when I see him like this so I try tilt his head or move him back onto his back but it just wakes him up. He’s breathing ok but I can’t settle once I know he’s like that.
Anyone else’s baby doing this?

Barely surviving

I’m getting around 3 hours sleep a night my little boy sleeps but I can’t cut out the noises he makes the grunts the congestion cause he was c section baby. I’ve tried everything
Fan white noise, another sucker and spray. I do 6 nights on my one my partner sleeps separate cause he’s working but sometimes I’m doing 2 weeks in a run if he works 7 days. I can’t sleep when the baby sleeps as I have a 2.5 year old to. Not sure how much I’ve actually got left in me

sundown scaries ??

idk if this is a possibility, because my baby is almost 4 months olds now, but occasionally when my partner goes to work (they work nights), i will get really sad and anxious and just feel really lonely. even if i had a completely fine day by myself and had no hint of feeling this way. it’s like it smacks me out of nowhere. sometimes getting some sleep helps, so does being around people. does this sound like sundown scaries ? can you even get those this late post partum ?
