Did you sleep train?

I know this can be controversial. My toddler (20 months) has always fallen asleep on me and I move him to his crib. The last few months he will not let me move him to his crib without waking up and crying. He only wants to sleep on me. Naps and at night. I get nothing done and feel like I don't have any me time.itncuts into my routine of getting ready as simple as just showering and blow drying my hair. I love the snuggles but I'm touched out.

Never sleep trained, co-sleeps with dad but once cuddled to sleep dad can go about his evening then join toddler in bed whenever he’s ready. Same for the morning dad can come out and toddler will stay asleep x

We sleep trained at 6 months because the 4 month regression wrecked her sleep pattern and she was waking every 30 minutes to an hour 😮‍💨 it only took us a few weeks to sleep train and we all slept so much better after that. My daughter is 2 now and if she isn't ready to go to sleep when we put her in her crib, she'll just play with her stuffies and talk to herself until she does fall asleep.

My baby slept with me until she started learning to roll. The crib transition was hard but I made sure she was playing in the crib, napping in the crib I even slept with one of her blankets and then put it in her crib lol I did everything I could think of consistently. Sometimes she cried but I let her cry for a little then rocked her to sleep and laid her back in the crib.

No sleep training, baby started sleeping through night or 1 wake around 3 months. We co sleep, and all naps are contact naps. I also nurse to sleep often and EBF. I will side -lying nurse for naps or bed time on our bed most days, and when she unlatches asleep I’m able to get up if needed .

What to do 😩

My daughter is a side sleeper. I put her down on her back every single time and she rolls onto her side and will fall asleep. She's never rolled over onto her tummy yet but I'm paranoid waiting for the day she can and I won't sleep again until she can fully hold her head up 😩😩😭😭 she's 2 weeks and 5 days old.

I've tried constantly moving her back onto her back, every single time she moves onto her side or fusses until I let her. Once she's on her side she'll drift off into a peaceful sleep. I'm forever constantly checking her to see if she'a breathing or rolled onto her tummy and gotten stuck.

The picture is of the position she will get herself into every time. With her hand under her head. I'm lost for ideas please help 😭😩

No interest in sex

I have NO interest in sex anymore. I'm so touched out and tired by the end of the day i don't want my husband to go anywhere near me. He has gently brought up that i might be struggling a little postpartum. He feels the distance between us and has said he is worried about me. I'm about to be 1 year postpartum with my second baby. Is this normal or should i be seeking professional help?

4 YO refusing nap

My 4YO is taking a hard stance on no napping. I know he’s age appropriate to stop naps but the trouble is him falling asleep at 6PM and sleeping the rest of the night.

Not sure what to do as I navigate this territory.

Ever had these thoughts?

Honestly it breaks my heart thinking about it when the thoughts come up.. but have any of you ever thought to yourself about "maybe my child would be better off with someone else"? I have but mainly because there's so many problems here. He's loved and supported and well fed and healthy. But we have very little money, I can't drive due to medical issues, he has medical issues himself, I'm recently divorced but live with my ex(no where to go)... I'm the main one taking care of him even with others around.

Feeding

How much are all your little ones drinking in a full day? My little girl is 9 weeks tomorrow and drinks between 120-150ml fir each bottle she goes every 3 hours ish but will then tend to go for a long stretch through the night as we give her a bath to settle her for the night. Shes had 750ml for this entire day.
