Sleep

Looking for advice. My 9 week old will only sleep for 20mins in her cot before completely waking up and not settling back in there. I’ve been sleeping with her on me which isn’t ideal and my mattress is too soft to co sleep safely. How do I get her to sleep more than 20mins? Thanks

Sometimes my baby will only drink a couple of ounces and then want a top up a couple of hours later - can I get away with feeding her the same bottle or? (Obviously I want to...

Any moms here chop their hair off after kids?? 😂 Do you regret it?

I used to have a short shoulder length cut and decided to grow it out (which took nearly 3 years) but now I’m ready to go short again. I don’t want to regret it, but I never have time to style my hair as it is with a toddler. It’s so long and thick and usually just gets thrown back in a bun/clip. Help!!!
