Breastfeeding Age 1

My daughter just turned one and I’m having a really hard time deciding how to move forward with milk and bottles. We’ve exclusively breast-fed since she was born, which is a big deal for me and something I knew I wanted to do. I stopped pumping a month or so back and just started going through our freezer stash when she goes to childcare. However, I thought the freezer stash would last a lot longer than what it has. I really wanna keep breast-feeding but also know I probably will have a hard time starting to pump again. I started doing 1 ounce whole milk and 4 ounces of breastmilk in her bottles to start transitioning her. Is it weird to do whole milk in bottles at school when my freezer milk runs out and then nurse at home? Or should it be consistent and I should start pumping again? Or do I give up and just switch fully to whole milk? Would love any input I didn’t know that have such a hard time with this!

Car seat help!! 🙏🙏

(Please ignore the messy car)
We had this car seat fitted yesterday by Halfords but the seat belt is in the way of putting my baby in. The guy who fitted it said it has to be like this so it’s diagonal in the back but I can’t put my baby in from the outside I have to go inside the car and buckle her in.
There must be another way 😩 or some trick to fix the seat belt down easily, put baby in, then put it back out? I need to sort this out asap because she already hates the car seat and she’s especially annoyed at it after daycare so I can’t make it worse 🥲

Breast Feeding

When I was younger, my mom used to explain to me that she didn’t breast-feed because her breasts were really big in this new generation. Is that a thing?
I currently wear a 36 triple D or 36E and I just wanna make sure when I do start breast-feeding that I won’t smother my baby with my breast

Velcro baby temperament

Baby is 2 months old tomorrow and I know she’s still so young and brand new to the world. She’s super sensitive due to her tummy issues so she’s always been a high needs, contact napping, constant holding/rocking/soothing, and co-sleeping baby. I’m a FTM and can’t handle letting her CIO. I love her so much but my back, shoulders, and neck are messed up from always holding her and having to rock her. Did anyone else w a baby w a temperament similar to my daughter’s grow out of it? Or did they grow up to be very sensitive toddlers as well?

Also, anyone have any experience w the Moonboon?

Insomnia in the First Trimester

Hey, I think I have just hit week 7 and I have been really struggling with insomnia over the past 2 weeks. I seem to struggle to go off to sleep and stay asleep for longer than 30 minutes - 1 hour. Some nights I literally get no sleep at all. I just feel so tired, but completely wired. How is everyone else faring?

Do your babies actually sleep in their bassinet??

FTM to a 3 week old girl and she does NOT sleep in her bassinet 😭as soon as I set her down in it she stays sleep for like 20 seconds and then starts crying to be held. Does anyone have any hacks or advice that I can use to get her to sleep in her bassinet?

Naps

How do you put your baby to sleep for a nap? I’m losing my sanity it’s getting so hard and he’s always been sleeping on me
