Will my supply go if I stop breastfeeding during the day?

Bit if context.. my baby is 14 months and I want to stop breastfeeding during the day as she doesn’t need it because she’s eating food.

Haven't slept

Is anyone else super sleep deprived? Where u feel like u can't even function 😪 "sleep when the baby sleeps" Yes, I get that concept, but like that's not always possible... I ask my husband for help, but obviously, he also works throughout the day, and he isn't much help anyway. Slowly becoming a zombie 🧟‍♀️ 😐

How do you transition from arms to cot?

Hi ladies, I’m struggling to get baby to sleep in his cot. I’ll change, feed, burp and rock. Once baby is sleepy I’ll slowly place him in his cot but within a minute he wakes up? I’ve tried swaddling, using a hot water bottle to warm the crib up. Not sure what I’m doing wrong but he absolutely hates it and just want...
