HELP!!! Suffocating???

HELP!!! Suffocating???

I know this isn’t related to pumping, but you all have been my community for seven months. Today my son scared the crap out of me. He has been sleeping like this for months with no issue. I start him off on his back and he immediately turns over he refuses to sleep on his back at this point. Today after just putting him down for a nap, I hear what sounds like him struggling to breathe. He repositioned himself once moved his head slightly to the side and then continued to wheeze so I rushed up within a minute to check on him, I was always told that once they roll over, they know how to get themselves out of distress. He did have a pacifier in his mouth, which could have caused this issue and create a perfect storm for him to wheeze so just be sure that I will be taking out the pacifier before I lay him to sleep from now on. He has a breathable mattress, breathable sheets and is only in his woolino. I am now terrified that he in fact does not know how to get himself out of distress or if he’s that tired he will just suffocate himself. Am I overreacting? He fully knows how to crawl at this point so I know he can lift himself up do I need to get a different mattress? Is there anything I should be doing differently? I am now terrified thank you

My son is 7 months old and has been almost sleeping through the night so I have been giving up night pumps. BIG MISTAKE… HUGE! I think my body has gone into weening mode, I used to get 4 oz a pump and a huge amount in the morning ( min of 8oz) but now I’m lucky to get 2oz a pump. Another problem I had is forgetting to pump… before I’d remember because I’d feel it, now I no longer feel engorged. I do combo feed and I have an ok freezer stash, but I’m not ready to stop. I want to go as long as I can supply enough to make at least a full 5oz bottle of breastmilk a night. Is there any hope getting my milk to increase again? I plan on making an alarm and pumping every two hours, and twice in the MOTN again.

Posting here because you all have been my community from the start.

My son is still taking two to three bottles at night, and I have to change him almost every time he wakes up. He’s 2’3” and 17.1 lbs. We use Pampers Swaddlers, since other brands seem to make him break out, Honest and Huggies, for sure. I’ve sized up to a 3 and even use Pampers nighttime diapers, but I still have to change his whole outfit and sleep sack.

It’s a real problem, not only because it fully wakes him up, but also because he has a Woolino that he sleeps best in. I’m not made of money, so I don’t have a second one. Until he takes less bottles at night, what all do you do to stop leaks? Two diapers? I’m in need of some serious help! I’m sleepy and so is he! 🫠
