Baby elegance co glide bedside crib?

We went to Smyths to look at a Tutti Bambini bedside crib before ordering but got shown a Baby Elegance bedside crib which has an electric rocking built in. Has anyone got one of these and would recommend? FTM here and have heard the rocking would be really useful feature to help settle after night feeds (it’s on a timer) but never heard of the brand before and wondering why more brands don’t do it so wondering if it’s a bad idea/ isn’t as safe or something?

Wondering how safe it would be as if it rocks it wouldn’t be attached to your bed if it’s a next to me type one. I know some of the next to mes rock but you have to have the side up and not attached and it all sounds like a bit of a faff to me 😂 Btw…I’m up the road from you in Horley! 30 weeks with my second 🥰

I was looking at the same one in smyths yesterday and all seemed amazing but then I read so many bad reviews on the website and everyone was saying when the baby gets a little heavier they find the cot slants to one side and loads of parents were finding the baby sliding into the side so based on that and also the fact it won’t glide when secure to your bed which is the safest way I decided I against it , if I was you I would go and look at the reviews because there is a mix some people love it and say it’s great and helping baby fall asleep but some people saying about the leaning to one side x

Thanks everyone that’s great to know! I think I’m leaning towards the Tutti Bambini and will check out more reviews.
hello! Ah nice I can see East Surrey hospital from where I live so we must be super close! I’m 32 weeks with my first currently don’t know many mums due a similar time round here yet 👋🏾

What wrong with my baby

So I’m calling doctors tomorrow but just wanna check in here see if anyone knows what’s wrong. My daughter is 5 months old and in the past 2 weeks she’s started making these noises like she struggling for breath it doesn’t seem to bother her much and I thought it was bc she was getting excited before as it does happen when she’s exited but it’s started to get random she could be just sat there and it happen anyone know what’s could’ve going on !

First birthday party timing

What’s the best timing for a first birthday party? (Garden party at home)
Currently 9.5m old, on 2 naps roughly 9 & 13:00. Thinking 11:00-14:00? Is it likely they will drop to 1 nap by then?

Health visitors

I’m just wondering if any of your health visitors have made you feel like you’re not doing a good job as a mum by asking questions?

At what age did your baby start using pillows and duvet?

Perhaps a silly question, but as a FTM, I'm not sure when I should introduce my baby to sleep with a pillow and duvet. He is going to turn 12 months soon and that thought just came to my mind- I have no idea when it should happen!

What tog number is the recommend one?

Is it normal…

Is it normal for babies to lose their shit whilst they’re asleep?
Last night my baby was sound asleep and then started properly crying - I checked and his eyes were closed so decided to hold on incase he settled himself!
He just kept crying but was still asleep, I ended up waking him up to settle him back down with boob, he went back to sleep and did a bit of a dream feed. Then he had a normal wake up and feed, and back to sleep 3 hours later. Then he did it again, but this time I just picked him up, patted his bum and he stopped.
Is it normal, and if it is can I so anything to stop it as I can’t sleep through his crying at all 🫣
