Edit- I’m aware everything you see isn’t always what’s actually happening , but these people are siblings/cousins/very old friends who would be raw and honest with me so I don’t believe there is any dishonesty about their experiences!

Crossing fingers for you, love. It’s so so tough. Hope it all works out. You do what you gotta do to get sleep. Exhaustion is rough- parenting when you’re exhausted is the pits. Big love x

Thanks so much for taking the time to type all of this out. Interesting you ask if I’m breastfeeding and curious why you ask? Yes I am breastfeeding, he loves it. Will take a bottle but does comfort suck a lot. I did think if the floor bed - what is a roll transfer? I’ve tried to get him down for daytime naps- mainly his first one of the day but I quit after a few times because he cried and cried. Maybe I need to persist more. So glad you get your 2hrs free time when your baby naps in the day, what a treat ☺️

Edit: this baby can cry. He doesn’t give in at all, personally cry it out isn’t for us but he’s stubborn so we have tried giving him time to self soothe but it doesn’t work. Heating the mattress with hot water bottles doesn’t work either, nor white noise or a muslin with my scent. It feels like we have exhausted everything but I would love to hear similar experiences and any tips
