Co sleeping HELP

Once baby (11 weeks) settles around 9/half9 for the night she will sleep till about 1ish, will feed and will go back to sleep. And would only really wake another 2 times for a feed change ect and go back to sleep in her next to me bed. Now after she settles it’s either her first or second get up of the night she’s very light sleeping, gets unsettled and soon as I pick her up she sleeps in my arms, soon as I put her down she’s fussing again. All of a sudden this has started to the point now where I’m having to put her in bed with me and I hate it it scares me but it’s the only way we sleep. I also don’t want to make an habit of it but I don’t know what’s gotten into her. Please help, advice? Or anything lol?

Sounds like she's having a 3 month sleep regression it's 100% normal and her sleep should become better in a week or 2 my boy had one around the same time and ended up wanting held constantly it's 100% okay to let her fuss a bit and see if she settles back off by herself as long as she's safe! Are you putting her down asleep or letting her fall asleep by herself in there? We noticed our boy was worse if we let him fall asleep on us rather than putting him down sleepy and letting him fall asleep by himself

i started moving my little one into our bed at around 5am when he’d wake up for a feed and then leaving him in the bed and now it’s just full blown co sleeping from soon as we go to bed and i have to say it’s the best decision i have made so far as a mum and 14 weeks in! i get roughly 8 and a half hours of sleep every night and am hardly awake due to feeding him lying down so we both fall back asleep very easily! i think if it works for you then lean into it, this is better for both me&baby. he wants his mum and i want more sleep so that works for us :)

Cold turkey with the dummy

My LO is 12 weeks tomorrow, he heavily relies on the dummy to fall asleep. We decided to take it away bc he was waking up multiple times in the night for his dummy when he spat it out or knocked it out his mouth. He sleeps until 4-5am so it was causing unnecessary wake ups.

I’ve been rocking, shhing, patting him to sleep using a muslin as a comforter. He woke up in the night and then slept with me as he woke up as soon as I put him down in his crib.

I’m hoping when he forgets about the dummy he won’t take as long to get to sleep as I feel like it’s taking longer bc he’s looking for the dummy?

Any advice if you’ve done it this young? Any advice on introducing self soothing?

If your pram was this mouldy, wouldn't you replace it instead of paying $$ to get it "cleaned"?

I came across a post about a pram cleaning company and was kind of appalled. If my pram was this mouldy I would rather replace it, than pay $$ to get it cleaned. Most times mould can't be fully cleaned out and I would rather buy another even if it was 2nd hand. Just want to know what others think? Would you throw it out at that point and look for another whether that was new, off a free site or even used as I stated above?

Is it normal to NOT have leaking breasts while still producing breast milk?

I EBF yet I’ve never had a leak. Not once. Even a little bit. I had a c-section and it took a while to bring my milk in if that makes a difference? My milk comes out pretty instantly when baby feeds or I hand express but it just doesn’t at any other time - is that normal? Getting some weird FOMO hearing everyone else does 😅

Nighttime feeds

What’s everyone nighttime feeds looking like? If baby sleeps do you let them? Thanks!

Early babies?

I’m due end of August with my third baby and everyone keeps telling me how summer babies usually come early because of the heat. I also have a 1 year old I’m constantly running around after. I assumed my other two would come early and #1 was 4 days early, and #2 was on time, so I was mentally preparing for an on time/even late baby. But everyone has me paranoid!

Anyone else suspecting their August baby will come early?
