Crib/bed suggestions

Hey guys, looking for some crib/toddler bed suggestions for my bed sharing 1 year old. He still breastfeeds during the night (I am his personal human dummy/pacifier🙃) but we are trying now to get him in his own space to sleep, so we’re looking for something that can potentially attach to the side of the bed. But then I’ve also looked at floor beds… I’m a bit lost and don’t know what the best option would be pls help😅

If he’s one then he can’t go into a next to me so any cot that the sides come off or lowered should be fine

I use an Asda compact cot x

We did similar to elyssa but put our mattress onto the floor and moved the cot to the lowest setting. If you haven't already bought a cot though I'd suggest just buying a single mattress (same brand as your bed so it's the same height) and putting both on the floor. You can stuff pool noodle between to make sure there's no gap. Far easier to roll over and feed them than try to scrunch yourself into the cot x

When do things get easier?

As we entered the 9-12 month stage, my son started crawling and pulling himself up. He also became more clingy and does not play alone, still doesnt sleep through the night, and this week has been sick (so EVERYTHING amplified). I am tired and overwhelmed. Please lie and tell me things get better. 🥺

4 month bed time

What time do you put your babies to bed?
What time do you start your 'routine?'
My LO currently goes to bed around 10.30pm, and I know i need to start bringing it forward. Everytime ive tried, it takes longer for my LO to settle.
We are exclusively breastfeeding. Any advice Mamas?

Colostrum storing?

Has anyone successfully extracted colostrum before the baby’s born? Apparently it gets produced from 16w pregnant and you can start storing it in the freezer but I’m 34w looking at my nipples and the syringes on amazon wondering how it works?? Like what did you use and did it hurt? 🥲

Combi feeding advice

Has anyone gone from EBF to combi feeding? Currently do one bottle of EBM per night and they one half formula half breast milk mixed in the day. The other times she still feeds on me. Ideally I want to feed all day via bottle and all night with breast. She’s 7 weeks and takes a bottle well, how long should I leave it before adding another bottle to her daily routine?
