Bassinet help?

I’ve been searching for a safe, reliable and affordable bassinet, and every time I think I’ve found the one, a big no way comes up! Safety is most important, but I also want to support my babies sleep. I’m a little unsure as to how babies habits for sleep change when they leave the womb, such as if your baby sleep when you do and is awake with movement, will they be the same in the outside world?
Would really appreciate any advice or suggestions!
I really want a bassinet where I can see baby from the bed such as mesh side panel, and a height that makes baby accessible easily, but open minded!
Thanks ♥️

Babies sleep habits usually change when they’re born. For the first month or so they’ll sleep pretty much all day. My son was confused and had his days and nights switched. So sleep all day and awake all night. He’s 3 months now and he takes a few naps during the day and sleeps throughout the night unless he gets hungry. We’ve got an Adoval bedside crib. It drops down on the sides so it’s sort of like a co-sleeping thing but they’ve got their own bed, it has a mobile, changing table and a diaper holder w/ cup holders. It also comes apart to be a pack and play. Mattress is included. He loves sleeping in it and usually falls asleep very fast. It does have mesh sides as well.

thank you for sharing!! 🙌🏻 i’ll check that out

Showering with my baby? Is it unsafe/ wrong?

Is it weird to take a shower with my baby boy? Is it a bad thing? I’ve been thinking about it a lot lately because I can never shower I’m 11 weeks pp and my husband started a new job. He is gone all day to work and I can’t just leave my baby alone so I can shower. I can’t hear the monitor over the running water and even if he is sleeping if I leave the room he wakes up and starts crying and doesn’t stop unless I pick him up and if I put him down again he cries again and I’m against letting my baby just cry it out. So I’ve been neglecting my own self care and hygiene and it’s really taking a toll on my mental health. So I guess what I’m really wondering is it wrong, and is it unsafe?

Boy night time diapers

Hey boy mommas! I have a 5 month old tomorrow and for the past couple nights, he’s started peeing through his diapers at night and soaking his clothes. Any suggestions on the best night time diapers for baby boys who pee a lot?

Next to me crib

Is my baby growing out of her next to me? She’s 4.5 months old and I’m not ready to put her in her own room yet (I know should wait until 6 months anyway) but is she still okay in this crib?

Bassinet to Crib

My LO is 10 weeks and growing fast! She has already doubled her birth weight and is “tall” I know I’ll have to transition her to a crib. She currently sleep beside our bed in her bassinet. Curious - when and how did that happen for your LO? Did you move crib into your room? Sleep in their room to ease with the change?

How can I get enough sleep 😴

My 11 month old has never been a great sleeper. He went to bed at 8:00pm last night. Me and my partner tidied up and went to sleep at 9ish. Baby still wakes 3 times a night and can take a while to resettle. My partner wakes up at 5 for work and he is also very tired.

He often wakes up close to my alarm too (when working). My alarm was set for 6 and baby woke up at 4:30. He only went back to sleep in his cot at 5:30. Meaning there is no time for me to go back to sleep and my day has started at 4:30.

Even when going to bed at 9, I still cannot catch enough sleep to get me through the day. I am 14 weeks pregnant and the tiredness is hitting me hard.

Are nursing bras worth it?

Pregnant with my first I do plan to exclusively breast feed. I definitely don’t want pads or underwire. Are nursing bras with the front hooks worth it or do yall just pop a boob our the bottom of a bralette?
