In her cot beside my bed

In his cot in his own room. We have the camera on and he wears an owlet

Next to me bed side bassinet at 4months(20 weeks).

Cot in my room, he will have to share a bunk bed when older so probably won't move out for a long time

how is everyone surviving no sleep? my baby is 7 weeks old i get max 2-3 hours a night and i wake up i have no energy, im getting ppd and what helps me is going out for walks/doing fun things, but i cant seem to bring myself to get up lately because i am so exhausted and my body wont let me, i co sleep with my baby due to him having really bad reflux and he will not sleep in his bassinet/next to me crib, not even for ten minuites, but co sleeping with me he manages 2-3 hours. i have a toddler aswell but her dads having to have her a lot more as im getting ill from exhaustion.

Babygirl is 5 months 12 days / 23 weeks, 4 days.
She goes to sleep between 6-7pm, wakes up between 6-7am. She has a 7oz bottle in the morning, then sleeps usually anytime between 8:30/9 for about 30-45 minutes. Then she will have another bottle at some point in the morning, 6oz, then a nap early afternoon 1-1:30pm ish. Then another 6oz. Then she naps sort of 4-5pm and then has a 7oz after her bath before bed. She sometimes has another 6oz in the afternoon if she asks for it. She sleeps through the night so her daytime naps are all over the place.

He’s really fussy and screams a lot. Please tell me it gets better? I’ve read some people say by 12 weeks. I don’t think I’ve got 12 weeks in me. I’m seeing the mental health team but I need some reassurance. Just because today has b b bad does it mean tomorrow will be?

Ive got mixed opinions so far, so I’m interested to know what you new mums do or would do.
When fuelling up your car / nipping into Tesco express just for a pint of milk, baby is sleeping in the carseat. Do you leave baby in the car for the literal 2 minutes your gone and just ensure car is locked, or get the whole pram / car seat system out and take baby with you?

We have no structure, or routine with naps now and I keep seeing from 3 months old we should have predictability?! The only nap i know she needs is 9am and its more or less the same every day.
ALSO, this baby will not nap by falling asleep independently, tried many many times. She will NOT settle and gets herself wide awake if I place her down when shes sleepy and try to settle in her cot.
I have to hold her and rock her to sleep, i MAY get away with putting her down once in a deep sleep for a 20min nap but thats it. Whereas if I hold her it would be over 1hr!
Im worried i will have to hold her,/rock her for every nap ever going forward?!
