Bedtime help
My LO is 11 weeks old and she is so hard to get to sleep at night time. We don’t follow a set routine and follow her cues. She will contact nap throughout the day but naps are pretty inconsistent and if I try to transfer her she will wake up and cry straight away.
At night time she is so tired and fighting sleep so hard, we will give her a bottle or boob and she will be fast asleep but the second we put her in the cot she is wide awake and crying hysterically, but she will fall back asleep on me or her dad. Once she has been asleep on one of us for an hour to 2 hours we can then put her in her cot and she will sleep thought the night.
Any advice to get her sleep in her cot with out 1/2 contact sleep on a night time?

I use an app to help understand my baby’s sleeping patterns for every month cause it changes. It doesn’t stay the same. We used Huckleberry app to get through our nights. You can also ask advice on the app.
💯 Huckleberry - I used it with my first to track naps and sweet spot for when to go down. Loved it - will be using for my second

How do you respond to “mom”?
My sweet 16 month old calls me mom affectionally and it’s the sweetest thing. His voice is so cute and I feel dumb answering “yes that’s me” “yep I’m your mom” lol help! It’s his favorite word and says it like 3x every other word (if that even makes sense, I don’t know how to write that). If I don’t respond then we lose a lot of our “conversations” but my lameness causes me to overthink it. Obv he doesn’t care, I just spiral lol. Maybe easy phrases, or a song about moms? I do other fun responses when I have enough focus (like taking the attention bid: tossing him in the air, hugs kisses, bringing him into what I’m doing. Also saying everyone’s names around us too etc) but my problem is go to words to say that aren’t the first two lol. For when I’m busy or focused on other stuff etc. TIA 🙏🏼

Temperature 12 month old
My little one has not been 100% for about 2 weeks she’s had one and off temperature one day she’s fine the next she’s got a mild temp but she’s been so snotty and chesty for about 2 weeks.
Today she’s been extra clingy she still plays with her toys but then she’s like had enough and wants to just be held she’s also still eating and drinking fine. This morning she had a temp of 38 something then she perked up after Calpol and was ok then tonight she had a bath and then she was crying in the bath so I got her out and she was really shivering so got her dressed and cuddles temp was 39.2 gave Calpol at 6:45 rang 111 they told me to go to pharmacy (complete waste of time) when I got back her temp was 39.6 left her a bit to sleep then check was 39.1 then at 10:45 temp was 39.3 gave her nurofen this time she’s been asleep this whole time but keeps moving and waking up crying then going back to sleep. Her breathings fine not super fast not sucking it’s just her temp. If it doesn’t go down but she sleeps shall I just leave her?
I don’t want to go to sleep myself

Breastfeeding
I’m finding my 2 week old will feed on the breast for 5-10 minutes and then pull off? She’s putting on weight and otherwise healthy but it worries that it’s such short amount of time and then she’ll sleep for few hours.
Has anyone else found this?
Thanks!

Sleeping through
Any tips and advice. Silly as I know every baby is different, but my LO hasn’t slept through the night once. The longest he’s done is 6 hours and only a handful of times. He is still waking up every 2-3 hours. The broken sleep is hard 😣
His routine is: bath, bf or bf milk bottle or formula. He goes down at about 8pm. But varies 7,30-8.30.
