Living arrangements

So I live in a 2nd floor flat 2 bed, me, my mum and my boyfriend. baby will obviously be with me and my boyfriend for the first 6 months, my mum moves out in March with her fiancé we have a lovely large living room space some of the furniture will be in that large corner until then .does anyone think the midwife will mind or do you think they'll want us to move out??? My mum has only thought about it now, and it has me worried, hoping they won't have any concerns about it

My mum's room will be babies room when she moves out in March it's only so I can have some support from my mum for 3 months

I don’t think the midwife would have any concerns. If they ask just say your mums moved in to help you out. They shouldn’t ask to look at your rooms anyway so they may just assume she’s in helping out anyways during the day.

I dont think this will be a problem at all 🥰

Hi Sam, I asked the midwife on our first appointment as we rent a 1 bed house if that will be okay for me,my partner and the baby and she reassured me that it will definitely be alright for almost until the baby will be able to walk. So I am sure it will be fine.

Thank you! Xxx

8 week immunisations

My 8 week old has his first set of injections tomorrow and I’m abit nervous. Does anyone have any advice for after the jabs? I know they get a temp after so have got some calpol to give just before hand. Should I put him to bed in less clothing to make sure he doesn’t get too hot? Any tips from your experience with first set of immunisations? Am I worrying more than I need to? 😅

11 month old constantly standing in cot

Please tell me someone has some advice for this cause wow it’s trying. My almost 11 month old is fully on the move now and his new favourite thing is repeatedly pulling to stand in his cot. The problem is that he wears a sleep sack (mainly so his legs don’t get stuck between the bars tbh lol) so he’s not stable enough to lower himself down. So earlier he fell backwards and hit is head and now we feel like we can’t just leave him to it. Typically it’s his first full day at nursery tomorrow and my first day back at work IT’S LIKE HE KNOWS!!
Please tell me someone has some tips. Currently we are quietly placing him back on his back every time but he just keeps doing it! 🤣🤡

Took 9 week old to a family party where there was loud music and she was next to the speaker for most of the time (about 3 hours). She slept through most of it. Do you think she has hearing loss from this?

Freaking out right now :(

My seven year old

Is out of control. Her dad and I share 50/50 and when she comes to my house she is so mean. And idk what to do

Struggling in the 4 month regression

How are people getting out of the 4 month regression? I’ve been looking it up and it says I need to be trying to put him down drowsy but awake but this does not work for my LO. Every time we do this he ends up being wide awake and after almost an hour of trying we have to contact nap/rock to sleep. I want to avoid rocking to sleep because now when he wakes up in the night he needs to be rocked back to sleep which he never used to need.

Nights are constantly broken because we are up 2-3 times to rock him back to sleep. Please give me your tips on how to survive this and how to get out of this!! Constantly feel like I’m failing and doing something wrong
