Major Guilt

I’m just looking for some reassurance pretty much. I’m a FTM and my baby is 3 months old, we live in Canada and it’s starting to warm up here now to +25 during the day and +16 at night, for those wondering that’s like 60 degrees fahrenheit at night. But the house gets HOT during the day and most older houses (aka mine) in Canada especially my province don’t have AC because it never used to get as hot as it does now. Anyways, so i’ve been so worried about how hot my baby will get at night, like I have major major anxiety about it and put her in a onesie and 0.2 TOG sleep sack with the fan on and that usually works. Yesterday was especially hot so I had the window open during the day to cool off our bedroom, I must have forgot to shut it before we went to bed and her bassinet is right beside me but also right beside the window and she woke up at eat and she was freezing 😭 I feel HORRIBLE. I immediately did skin to skin and warmed her up and she’s absolutely fine, and i’m shocked she didn’t cry because she was too cold. Anyways, I feel like a POS. Has anybody else done something similar:( How do I stop being so anxious.

adjusting sleep patterns?

i’m not sure if this is the right sub to post this but my baby just turned 3 months a few days ago and her sleep schedule is messed up so bad lol. she sleeps until 3:00pm and then is awake for the rest of the day with MAYBE a 20 minute nap. she is the easiest baby in the world and doesn’t ever get fussy or protest and this is our only problem. so since she wakes at 3:00pm for the “day” she is up until 1:00am most nights, but usually 2:00am. she wakes up for one feed usually between the hours of 4-6 and then wakes up for like an hour at 7:00am but because we aren’t going to bed until 2:00am I cannot be up at 7:00am for play time so I usually just lay with her after she eats until she settles and falls back asleep in her bassinet. ideally, i would love to be able to go to bed myself at 11:00pm and her at like 9:00pm and wake up at 9:00am for the day but that seems like it will be a very hard shift to make from where we’re at! if anyone has any advice and has gone through the same thing, do tell!

oh also, when she wakes again at like 10:00am she is usually too tired to finish a bottle, I combo feed and she will breastfeed for maybe 15 minutes (and i don’t have much milk) and will take no formula after and be zonked again lol
