How do you all put your baby to sleep?

My husband says I should put the baby in the cot and, if the baby cries, leave them there until they fall asleep. However, I can’t do that. Do you have any suggestions for getting a baby to sleep that don’t involve holding them on my chest?

Breastfed babies and sleep

Anyone’s exclusively breastfed baby sleeping through the night? My 6.5 month old still wakes up several times (once if I’m lucky). I had this problem with my two year old as a baby as well. I’m starting to think ebf babies don’t sleep well😅 I don’t do sleep training so it’s rough over here most nights.

Ears ringing

So my boyfriend said his ear was ringing all day. His ear is still ringing yet he’s playing a game with ear buds in his ear. Can someone make sense of this? I don’t have tinnitus so I’m not sure if that makes sense of him to do?

Would you?

If you had a hard time producing breast milk and your sister is also breastfeeding her baby AND is overproducing AND offered to give you milk, would you give your baby her breast milk?

Communication

I keep getting shrugged off by everyone they meets my son but my gut is telling me he needs help. My son only says mama, dada. Sometimes he will try to say dog, uh oh. He can sign more, and points to many things he likes or wants. He babbles a lot and repeats the same sounds mostly when babbling. He screeches loudly...

Sicky baby

Anyone else baby constantly throwing up after feeds? It’s actually getting ridiculous now the amount of change of clothes we have to go through, I don’t know what else to do! Health visitor says it’s ‘normal’ but surely being sick 3 times in 10 minutes isn’t? Like what is the point of me feeding!!😫😫

I understand that breastfeeding isn't a reliable form of birth control, but what about trying to conceive or fertility?

I'm 15 months pp. My period came back at 4 months. I have regular periods that span 3 to 6 days. We are trying to have baby #2 and have been trying for 3 months now. A mom I met who's had to go through other interventions said that my breastfeeding could be delaying conception because of something with my uterine l...

Need some words of wisdom.

So my baby is 9 months old and for the last few months I’ve been up to my neck with anxiety about autism ( I went down a rabbit hole on tiktok) and now I’m constantly watching my baby’s every move. My first concern was she didn’t always respond to her name - sometimes she does but sometimes she doesn’t. Secondly she...

Having a drink

My partner said he was gonna sleep next to baby and give him bottles of boobie milk but I'm worried he's actually quite drunk 🫣 so I'm going to do the night.
