Purflo sleep nest

Has anyone got the Purflo sleep nest?

If so thoughts? And also I have the tutti XL next to me crib, shows dimensions are a bit too big for the cot itself but I've read some reviews where mums have said they've managed to squeeze it in?! Has anyone else had trouble of fitting it into their next to be cribs?

Thanks

I wouldn’t put it in the next to me. With my first, I just used the purflo when I was next to her on the sofa. It’s not safe for unsupervised sleep.

Pods etc are not advised for safe sleeping , the baby is meant to be in the next to me with nothing but the mattress & a sheet (and blanket/sleep bag if cold) I personally bought one but it’s for during the day supervised and on the couch x

I have a Purflo but for day time naps in lounge room instead of a moses basket. I have a SnuzPod next to me and it definitely doesn’t fit in there but wasn’t intending to use it there anyways. The Purflo sleep tight baby bed is different to a usual ‘nest/pod’ and they do say it’s approved for overnight sleep and it’s all breathable mesh with a hard flat surface. I’m in two minds on whether I would actually use overnight, could be handy for a trip away. The lullaby trust don’t comment specifically on products but say no nest/pod should be used for unsupervised sleep but this product is different so hard to know for sure and they say it’s approved. I’ve seen others use it this way and baby can feel more secure initially compared to the bigger space of a bassinet/cot.

I’ve put our purflo in our SnuzPod3. It just about fits in there 😊

We use our purflo nest in our Snuzpod by squeezing it in & have done since birth baby is now 3 months and really loves it

So my response has completely changed! My little one is 2.5 weeks old and would not go in the bassinet/SnuzPod so we were cosleeping which I didn’t like. Ended up caving and out the overnight Purflo in the bassinet - had to squish it in and the end bends upwards but is still flat. She will now sleep in there for a few hours 🙏 usually by 3/4am it’s hard to get her resettled but we can get 2x 2-3 hour stretches some nights before that. It still makes me nervous but we’ve taken a risk based approach with it and she’s right next to me. My husband stuffed his face in and can breathe through the mesh and not really that different to the bassinet or a mosss basket. Wouldn’t use a sleepyhead/dock-a-tot as they aren’t mesh but this does seem to be working.

Bed sharing mamas - set up??

So I am bed sharing with my baby. It’s the only way we get sleep. She is now practicing standing and is super mobile. I feel on edge that she will fell of the bed.

How do you guys do it? Push the bed against a wall? Have you got some covers on the side . Share all your tips x

Leaving a stay and play before the tidy up?

I take my daughter to a few stay and plays which are usually 2 hours long. Most of them finish when she would usually be napping and then it will take me a while to get her home and relaxed ready to nap etc. Is it rude to leave early? I think 2 hours is already a long time so I would prefer to leave after 1- 1.5houre but I don't want them to think I'm being rude

Don't understand the white soft play trend

Is anyone else confused why there are so many white/cream soft plays popping up everywhere. Visually they are so dull and not stimulating for a child. I would never pay the ridiculous prices they ask (more than normal soft play)

I hate the newborn age

Is it normal to actually hate the newborn phase? We are 8 days old so still very new to this and I’m a FTM. I thought I would LOVE having a newborn baby. I’m so overwhelmed and anxious if I’m getting anything right, if she’s happy if she’s fed if she’s gassy if she’s sleeping enough that I’m just not finding much joy in the newborn stage at all. I feel pretty lonely (even though my husband is the biggest support system and my absolute rock). Finding exclusively breastfeeding tricky and sort of wishing away these early weeks so we can get some sort of routine in place! Anyone else the same?

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.

Co- sleeping 🥰💕

Can I just say to all those co-sleeping mama’s out there…… you’re doing one of the most natural things possible providing security, love, care and attention to not only your babies needs but your own 💕 It is so right yet you are lead to believe it’s so wrong! Why?

Soak in all the love and cuddles whilst they are small as one day they won’t need us like we need them 🥰💕
