Co sleeping

Alright fellow co sleeping mamas.. I really tried the bassinet we got for little man but he absolutely hates it and we were losing so much more sleep just trying to put him down in his bassinet cause he would instantly wake up or within a few minutes. We tried warming the bassinet before hand, white noise, sleep sack(s), doing a warm bath and feeding beforehand, patting his butt when we transfer.. it just didn’t work.. so with that being said we’ve had him in bed with us & I need some recommendations on a “lounger” we should get to put in the middle of us where we can sleep at night or even on the couch during the day so we can be hands free and also sleep a bit better at night.. I’ll post a picture of a “lounger” and pls lmk yalls thoughts and recommendations. Thank youuu <3

How are we taking showers?

When he was little, I used to just put the bouncer in the bathroom and I would shower while I was watching him. That’s something I’m not able to do anymore because he became to mobile for the bouncer and also for his swing so I had to get rid of them he tries to escape them by crawling, or he simply starts yelling cs he doesn’t like them. How are we taking showers then?
the other day I put him in his highchair with a couple of toys, but he got bored of it really quickly and I ended up taking a three minute shower. I was also thinking I could put him on his crib with a couple of toys since I can just bring the monitor in the shower with me. I’m just not sure if he’ll like that. Has anybody tried this? Any other ideas?

Epidurals

Hello - expecting FTM, I’d really like to hear people’s opinions on epidurals who have had one previously please and their experiences (good or not so good) - no horror stories though please 🥲 I have done a LOT of research myself but would really like to get some first hand experiences, I’m aware of the risks & it’s not for everyone but I’d love to hear if people enjoyed having one and if not, why not 😊 thank you!!!

Recovery

When I found out I was pregnant I quit all drugs and alcohol smoking everything but now it’s like all I want to do but I know I can’t because the baby’s more important. I’ve only just turned 20 and I’m 26 weeks pregnant.

360 Car Seats

360 Car Seats, worth the money? Never had one before always used the one from our travel system but little man is getting so big it’s getting such a pain with the normal standard car seat

Also any budget friendly recommendations if so TY!

Hallucinating or no?

Ok so it's 10pm at night. 2 people in bed, blue and white. White is usually asleep by 9:30 but goes to take a shower at 10.

Blue, who is and was awake hears moaning (and heavy breathing) and jokes that they could have helped (white get off). The text chain in the comments follows.

Blue then says they must be hallucinating and to ignore them. White doesn't respond.

Bkue apologises imfor causing a problem, the next morning. White says "it's ok".

Do we think Blue was hallucinating? Or was White lying?

Please, please, please help.

Napping in public

Hello! Any tips on getting your baby to sleep in public?

We are really lucky and I don’t take it for granted that our 8 month old will nap in his cot. But it’s as if that and the car is the only place he will nap now! If we’re out and about he just will not drop off, he’ll cry and kick and flail about if you rock him and I don’t know what else to do.

Does anyone have any tips? I feel like I avoid going out to meet people because it’s hard to deal with the cries when I try and get him to nap!

Bottles

What bottles did everyone use? Im stuck between mam bottles and tommee tippee🩵

Comment childminder made

My little girl is 1 in a few days. Shes been with the childminder for a month. When I picked her up yesterday she said ‘my goodness I’ve never know a baby with such a temper’ took me by surprise. My girl does shout and go when she doesn’t want to do something/put into pram, put down etc. but I thought it’s normal for her age.
Then she went on to say ‘I put her in the high chair and she was shouting and moaning, my friend walked past and said my goodness you have the patience of a saint’
The more I think about it, the more I think that was really rude

Tongue tie

I'm so annoyed, health visitor came to visit today and she had previously shut down my concerns of getting a referral for it to be cut. Today he weighed 4kg @ 6 weeks and has been really fussy on the boob/ trapped wind and she has now said his tie is really prominent and likely causing issues. Just feel like I should have pushed more when she last came to visit. She has told me to syringe feed if possible, anyone have any advice. If the urgent referral takes too long under NHS, I will go private.
