Is it possible for stress to have an impact on your baby postpartum? During my pregnancy there was a lot of stress early on due to relationship stuff then the second half my dad was very ill with cancer dying almost a month after my LO was born.

My guy has a habit of over eating now. He finds comfort in the boob. Pacifiers don’t last too long for him, we’ve tried different kinds too. Even when he starts to fall asleep he wakes back up wanting to be with me or to eat more.

I know babies are supposed to learn to self soothe but I keep giving in. He’s 8 weeks on Monday.

Any ideas?
