New cot

Moved my baby from a next to me to a cot and he hates it !! He won’t sleep for longer than 30 mins in it and it’s killing me. He’s to big for the next to me now. Any one have any wild tips on how to get him to accept it?? I will try any thing !!

Pumping

HOW are you pumping the recommended 8-12 times per day??

I'm barely managing to fit 5-6 pumps in a 24 hour period. Even then each pump is only around 10 minutes long and I only manage around 40ml 🙃

I feel so guilty, I have a daughter in the NICU that I want to provide milk for, but I'm struggling to feed the one I have at home.

Sleeping routine.

Hellooo. I have a 2 month old who doesn’t seem to sleep during the day (unless he’s on me and wakes as soon as I put him down) but after googling it says he should be sleeping 5-6 hours a day.
Does anyone have any daytime napping hacks? Obviously I love the cuddles but sometimes it would be nice to get some housework done 🤣

Cold nursery

Any tips on keeping the nursery / baby warm now it's cold at night?! The nursery is around 20 degrees when she goes to bed and the heating is on but then by 4am it has dropped to 16 degrees and I think it's making her wake up loads (she woke up every 10 mins between 4 and 5am last night which she has never done before). I've got her in a 2.5 tog sleeveless sleeping bag, long sleeved vest and sleepsuit. Obviously we can't afford to keep the heating on all night! LO is 6 months old. Any ideas?!

Small rant

I wanna know if anyone else is in the same boat as me😩 i live 2 hours away from my family and i am living with in laws. My husband helps me out and tries to make sure i get that time to myself but when it comes to wanting to go outside and have a social life i feel so guilty leaving her at my in laws house. My mil says she doesnt mind but sometimes you can tell she does mind. I also feel like im always being timed on how long im gone. I just wish i lived closer to my own mum as i have so many nephews and nieces alhamdulillah which would help keep my baby busy aswell as having her grandparents and aunties and uncles.
