Next to me!!

I have a next to me, my little boy is nearly 10 weeks old... I've never put him in it, as the first night I got home I put him in and he looked to small for it so got my partner to get the moses basket. I'm wondering if anyone put there little one it from birth... I really want him to use it now xx

We did the same, our girl started getting to big for the Moses now so for about 4 nights we put the Moses inside the next to me whilst she slept and we’ve now transitioned her into the next to me itself and had no issues

We put a sleeping pod into our next to me as she wouldn’t go in it when we first brought her home she was lost in it but she’s been in it about two weeks now without the sleeping pod and was fine

I put my little one in the next to me from birth. She sleeps so well in it. I'll be gutted when she grows out of it

My first didn't like the next to me until he got a bit bigger, maybe around 7-8 weeks. My second is now 6 weeks and he has been in it since rhe day we got home

We were the same. We put the moses basket inside the next to me. We transitioned into the next to me when my LG was big enough to go in a sleeping bag and I do prefer it as it’s easier to see her whilst lying down.

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? 😅

Signs of Neurodivergent Toddler

Any moms of neurodivergent toddlers who could help me out? My son is 13 months old. I know that is technically too early for a diagnosis, but I have a gut feeling that he is on the autism spectrum.

The main sign he shows is hand leading. He does not point at all, and instead will take my hand and lead me anywhere he wants to go,
getting very frustrated if I do not follow.

He is also extremely sensitive to being touched, especially when it comes to hats and putting clothes on. He won’t let anything touch his head or face and I have to fight him to brush his teeth, comb his hair, etc.

He’s very interested in things that aren’t toys and will repeat the same behavior over and over. He can go in and out of doors or walk up and down stairs for hours. He loves taking things out of containers and putting the back in repeatedly.

We recently took him on his first vacation and he REALLY struggled with the change. He struggles with any type of transition or change in routine.

He laughs, makes eye contact, mostly responds to his name, but doesn’t do any other gestures.

Normal toddler behavior or signs of ASD? Let me know your thoughts!

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 :(
