This or that? I need advice

Okay, long story short my 4mo daughter likes to sleep on her side, and she sleeps pretty much 8-10 stretches on her side. Which is fantastic, however, hubby is worried of SIDS which I get but I dont think its that serious. Shes been sleeping on her side for about a week and a half now, but hubs wants her to sleep on her back to ease his stress. Which i know "back is best" but she literally wants up every hour on her back or swaddled and on her back. Sooooo I need advice, I know every baby is different but I dont want to lose my sanity every night waking up every hour. She HATES being swaddled and having her legs restricted. Do I buy Merkins Magic Sleep suit or a Love to Dream sleep sack, or should I buy something else????? Im at a loss, my first born loved to be swaddled, but my 2nd hates it, and I dont really know what to do.😭😭
Please help me mama's

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 😅

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?
