Baby Turning

He’s 12 weeks in his next to me and every night he’s turned himself sideways so his head and feet are in the mesh waking himself up early would you move him to the cot bed now?

What would you do?

I queried something with my health visitor today and she said to be giving her 600mls per day. As she gained 2lbs in just 2 weeks but she's used to having an average of 884mls a day. Would you try and cut down on the milk or just continue whats working? She's 4 months old. She was gaining weight at a nice steady pace but she's shot up on the centiles in a short frame of space. She's had more than 600mls a day for over a month. So wouldn't even know where or how to do it. HV didn't tell me how just said 600mls. She's not sick or in any pain. She's happy in herself and she knows when she's full as she pulls away from the bottle and doesn't go back. So do I follow what I'm told or just keep doing what am doing?

do you believe “not every cry needs attention” ??

For example, your baby is crying even though you’ve done everything. They’re fed, they’re burped, they’re changed, they’ve slept. do you believe letting them cry it out sometimes is okay when you aren’t sure what they’re crying over or what else you can do to help them??

I see multiple different opinions on this

How many diapers is too many?

Idk if there's a cloth diapers group but I'm making diapers for my little one. I'm also planning on selling them at a market stand but they're super expensive to make. It costs me $15 to make 1 so i'm selling for $20. If people buy them, IDK how many to expect them to order. The idea is buy 1 at the market and put in a preorder for the full stock. I won't have that many done by the time the market is here. So, how many is too many? How many can I expect to sell to each baby?

Sleep training

Did you do it?
Do you recommend it?
What method did you use?

My 7mo has suddenly gone from going to bed easily to it taking up to 3 hours. She has always fed to sleep and transferred fine, but now she wakes up on every transfer or within 5 minutes of being in her cot. I'm pretty sure the only reason she goes down eventually is just from pure exhaustion.

I have tried dropping a nap, our routine is solid and has had no changes, she's not teething and her temp is fine etc

Sleep

Does anyone have any idea what they’re doing with sleep?!

I have a 9 week old, when does bedtime start to matter ( she currently goes to sleep for the night anywhere between 10-1am, not by our choice)

When will she start going earlier and when will the last nap of the day start to matter?

Also we are out and about a lot (mainly the MIL’s which is then a 30 min drive home) if we do that late at night and baby falls asleep will that effect her night time sleep??

So many questions 🙈does anyone have any good resources I can look at. ( I’m not a fan of sleep consultants and I don’t like tracking everything such as huckleberry)

Did I make the right decision?

I left my marital home because I felt so unsupported by my partner and now Im feeling like it wasn’t the very best decision. Imagine trying to explain to your man how heavy postpartum feels and he tells you “but its not like you are the only woman going through that”. Am I being dramatic ?😭
