Second baby or not

We both want a second child but I don't know how I will cope
I've found the first year with baby one hard and my mood has been low at times
It's felt so all consuming and exhausting looking after baby one
I see other parents with multiple kids and I think maybe I'm overthinking it

Moses to cot transition

I fear I may have to transition my baby to his own room soon. He’s 5 months old and according to google he should transition from 4-6 months or when he gains movement skills. He knows how to roll and that is one skill that is mentioned for his safety, as he could accordingly roll out the Moses. I say I “fear” this but it’s more that I don’t want it to end. I’m massively grieving over his growth and milestones, time is flying way too quickly and I fear I’ve missed everyone moment of his newborn stage and now he’s almost crawling. I roll over and immediately see his cute little face. How do I accept this and do I actually need to transition him soon?

Next to me crib

My baby is 13 weeks and I am having trouble putting him in his next to me. He hates how wide the crib is and never settles unless I use the najell sleep carrier. We were using love to dream swaddles but he started to roll and self sooth with his hands now so just changed to armless sleeping bag. Does anyone have any tips to try and get him in his next to me crib so he has more space and it makes it safer.

He has been going to sleep at 8:30pm and sleeping through until 5:30/6am. Now he has started stirring at around 1:30am-4am. He will groan and grunt and then cry and wake himself up? Anyone gone through something similar and what did you do

Babies sleep for 5 month but 3 months corrected

From breast to bottle

Hello, has anyone had issues trying to get their breast fed baby to take a bottle? I went back to work and my 10wk old has been refusing the bottle for my partner. Any suggestions?

Does anyone else feel less attracted or wanting to have less sex because of how useless they are as a partner/person/dad. Like the longer we’re together the more things piss me off about him and his actions.

From cosleeping to cot 13month old

Send help. I’m trying to get my EBF 13 month old to sleep in his cot, at least the first half of the night to start with.

If I transfer him and he doesn’t wake up it’s usually ok. But if he wakes up, he screams - like there’s no tomorrow! It’s so overwhelming. I end up just putting him back in the big bed with me if it’s too much.

Anyone in a similar position with any advice??
