Travel cot like a bedside crib?

I live in the UK but we're moving to Ireland soon so will regularly be flying over to view properties. I need a travel cot for my 4mo who currently sleeps in a bedside crib.

All travel cots seem to have them very low down which won't work as she needs lots of settling! Any recommendations for a travel cot that best replicates a next to me crib?

We have a bugaboo stardust which has a higher level setting which worked well when my wee girl was tiny xx

It’s also a very comfy mattress!

The Hauck Sleep n Play has a raised platform so younger babies can be higher up, not quite the same as a next to me where the side comes down but better than most travel cots. Also it is full cot size (120x60cm) so lasts well. You can usually get it on Amazon for around £40-50 but the prices seem higher right now so shop around!

I have coozee Tutti Bambini crib. Easy to assemble to very handy bag 😊

I have that too! We've taken it on trips in the car but I'm not sure about flying with it, I thought it might be too heavy?

good question. Good to check 😊

We use Phil and Teds travel cot. It's amazing, so lightweight and we can fit it in our normal suitcase. The mattress is quite hard but we just squeeze our next to me mattress into it and it works so well!

Is it cheating

My husband just told me that at work he and his male friends/coworkers pinch each others nipples as like a joke, I think it’s inappropriate and it’s cheating in a way and he does not agree he thinks it’s just funny and nothings wrong with it

Front sleeping

My baby is 9 months old and I was told a while back that the sleep should always start in there back, is this true and why?
My baby always wants to front sleep now and I’m fighting every night to get the sleep to start on his back or side

Is nursery a bit out of line?

Today I learned that my son was “seen by someone” when picking him up. Apparently speech therapist saw him in the nursery to evaluate him and I only learned about it on pick up.

No warning, no even proper explanation of what triggered it. With one staff member saying “he is not speaking at all”, and another dismissing it and saying it’s completely normal.

And everyone seem to dismiss my shock as he is the most chatty happiest child at home.

So it triggers me that instead of finding a way to get him “open up” and make him feel secure so he starts speaking naturally. They now decided he needs to be “fixed” and probably push him into more anxiety with it. Without even consulting us.

Sleep

Does anyone else miss just getting in bed and sleeping straight through until morning no waking up to feed or to pump or cus the baby made a weird noise

Too much pram time?

LO is 15 months old. He's not walking yet. We've always gone for 2 walks a day, for about 30-45 mins each. I've found this helps LO's mood and also my own mental health. It's occurring to me that perhaps this is too much "container" time. When we're home, I encourage loads of floor time and he enjoys pulling to stand and cruising on furniture. His only other "container" time is in his high chair 4 times a day for meals, and for about 10 mins at a time when I'm getting his food ready, unless someone else is there to watch him (our flat is small and not open plan).

Witching hour??

Pretty sure my 7 week old has a strict “lose all chill at 6pm” policy 😅

Evenings = crying, pacing, questioning my life choices 😂

Fed, burped, cuddled… still a bit of a mystery. Any tips from mums who survived this stage? How did you get through the evening chaos?!
