Transition from swaddle to sleep sack

Alright mama's. I am desperate for some help at this point. When my daughter was born she loved to be swaddled and she was a wonderful sleeper. A couple weeks ago she started rolling so we had to switch to a sleep sack and now its like im living in a sleepless nightmare. She doesn't finish her night time bottle before bed, she takes forever to fall asleep and she is constantly crying or wanting to be held. If you can, what works for you and your baby?

We have been trying transition swaddles instead of going straight to a sleep sack since our baby also just rolls over immediately in the crib. We tried the love to dream transition swaddle which didn’t really fit her and are currently trying the zippadee which she has been doing really well with. Here is our routine to get her to sleep in her crib without rolling over immediately and crying.
Change, sleep sack, sound machine, dim light (we use a hatch), bottle, half way through bottle turn off the light - she usually will finish it and be asleep.
She also recently started to wake up at night a lot more so we do a dream feed two to three hours after bedtime and it helps her get to the morning

We do the zippadee with a dream land (unweighted purchased off Amazon) over it. She rolls all night long she loves to sleep on her side and ends up on her tummy and can roll herself back on her back.

5am day starts

My 7 week old seems to wake for the day from 5am unless i put him in the sling he will then go sleep.

Will this eventually change and settle into a normal time if maybe 6/7am?

I have a 2yr old as well so praying this will change because my days are becoming sooo long. My toddler happily sleeps till 7/8am usually 😴

Does anyone regret having more children at 40 or above

Just had 4 th baby at 40 . We have 7 kids between my partner and I. But I'd love to have a little girl. My joints are so sore this time round from being pregnant. Just don't know how my body would cope.. we would have to start soon though as the clock is ticking.. we lost a few before our little man came along.. what would you do

Colic

I am a first time mum. My baby is a month old, and is having uncomfortable movements and cries a lot during evening hours. And make faces while passing wind.Any suggestions how to deal with colic pain??

Tooth extraction

I am having a wisdom tooth extraction next week, I will be sedated and the procedure will take about an hour and a half. I have a four month old and I’m exclusively breastfeeding. In the consent form it says I shouldn’t breastfeed for eight hours and I should pump and dump.

I was wondering if any of you had a tooth extraction with sedation and are breastfeeding?

Can you tell me if you had to wait with breastfeeding? If not was the baby okay?

A lot of places say that I don’t have to wait and I can breastfeed as soon as I feel well enough. I have pumped some milk and kept it in the freezer, but I’m not sure if it’s enough and I don’t know if the baby will take the bottle.

Reccos for breastfeeding tops / bras

Hi all, slowly getting my head round what works to breastfeed in public but would love some more help

Looking for supportive tops with in built bra support for slightly larger ladies (DD+) that you can wear without a breastfeeding bra and just yoik it up!

Also looking for a good strapless bra you can feed in by easily pulling down? And along with that any good feeding bras in general!

And any reccos for how to feed in a dress discretely! Thanks so much

Wake windows

Hi, my baby is 12 days old and is starting to stay awake longer and longer and I have no idea what to do with him, we've done tummy time but he's too young to do it too long. He just stars at me and me makes funny noises and I havnt got a clue what to do with him. He can't even see very far yet 😅 please can I ask what you guys did?
