How to help my anxiety

I feel more comfortable co-sleeping then I do having my baby in the bassinet. I know it’s not safer but it feels more comforting I guess I could say. I feel like I can’t sleep all night when he’s in the bassinet

Sleep regression?

Is there a 6mths sleep regression that babies can go through? My LB was doing so good at night recently! Waking only for the dummy a few times and went back to sleep again.. now he's up for at least 2hrs during the night! Feel like we're going through the newborn trenches all over again..

We are trying to get our 16 month old to drop to 1 nap because his bedtime was getting way too late. We are on day 4 of one nap, nighttime sleep is bad. Has anyone else struggled with the transition to one nap?

I’m thinking he’s thinking the earlier bedtime is a late nap. How do we get him to realize it’s bedtime and not a 8pm nap?

Formula mommas

Has anyone had any experience with their LO eating more of one formula, and then not eating as much of another? We have even doing Enfamil since he was 5 days old, but recently there’s been a shortage near us so we had to switch to Similac temporarily. LO chugs the similac and wants 6-8 oz every feed, but the Enfami...

Not napping

My almost 3 month old is not napping through out the day. He’ll fall asleep for 5-10 minutes top & he’ll get fussy & I can tell he’s sleepy. I’m a first time mom so I’m not sure if this is typical? I’ll take any tips to help him nap!

Hi all, wondering if you are using any baby carriers and if so, which brands would you recommend ? I bought a baby sling but found it really awkward to put on / take off independently. Would love to hear if you have used a baby carrier for your little ones + your experience with it 💖

Nursing question?

For second time moms: my first baby nursed all the time. Nursed to sleep, nursed for comfort, boob monster. This baby now 3 months won’t nurse to sleep or for comfort, even when I know she’s hungry sometimes she’ll refuse to nurse.
