What should I do?

FTM here, my baby is 11 months old and I’m trying to decide if I should move her to her room or keep things as they are until I’m done breastfeeding. Right now she sleeps in my room, we co-sleep with a sidecar crib and I nurse her back to sleep every time she wakes up, usually every 1-2 hours maybe one or two 3-4 stretches at night. She takes naps in her room and likes her bed but the whole reason I started cosleeping was so I could stop getting out of bed every hour and actually get some sleep because it was really affecting my mental health. So I’m worried to start putting her in her room and half to start waking up/getting up and disrupting my sleep so much if she’s in her own room. I would like her to be able to sleep in her own room without waking up so much and I’m wondering if when I stop breastfeeding she’ll just go longer stretches without getting up. Also I’m not looking forward to night weaning and I feel like it’ll be easier to just stop breastfeeding than night wean and continue breastfeeding during the day. I want to stop when she’s a year so I don’t have long to wait if I decide to but what should I do? Advice?

could u maybe trial her in her own room for a week? i found that my lo wakes up less when he’s in his own bed think its cos he can’t smell the milk so doesn’t automatically wake up or wanting to dream feed just cos he knows its there

Oversupply?

I’m 2 weeks postpartum and I have 35 bags of 7ozs breast milk frozen plus around 15ozs in the fridge and baby is still on the boob with bottles would this be classed as an oversupply?

How do I manage this with clogged ducts? I luckily haven’t had any yet and I only pump 3-4 times a day depending on my comfort level I just don’t want to overdo my body

When does the sleep get better

My LO is 7 weeks tomorrow and his sleep has not been great lately. Firstly it takes me absolutely ages and at least 2 failed transfers to get him to sleep at night. He needs to sleep with boob which I always give. We are currently co sleeping but even that’s not helping. The moment I leave the bed he wakes up. Also he is SO fidgety during his sleep, always moving around. I understand sometimes after a feed he might want to burp but when I try to burp him sometimes nothing comes out! Is this a phase? Will it get better after 8 weeks.
Please send help, advice, anything!

Swaddling in a heatwave

My LO is 5 weeks old and will only settle if he is swaddled, i have stripped him down to just a nappy and using a cellular blanket to swaddle, i am keeping his legs uncovered and rhe bottom of his belly. Im so worried he is going to overheat. A muslin is too small and he just wriggles out of it. Any advice please x
