Hotel baby cot

For those who've been away with their LOs, how was the hotel's baby cot? We're off in 2 weeks and I don't want to end up with her not having decent sleep.

Hi Lenka, our hotel cot was amazing baby slept so well and it was spacious, they provided bedding and products.

But I would advise to ring like I did and ask them what their arrangements are like. Maybe they also have a baby bath and high chair so you don’t have to bring?

thanks, that's a good idea! I know they have a cot, but won't hurt asking, my mum brain wouldn't think of that 🤣

Hi hun the hotel I went to LO found the cot uncomfortable! He didn’t sleep as much as he usually do

heheh

It was a travel cot but not too low like ours so I could actually get her In and out

We took our own travel cot mattress as I don't like the flimsy folding ones. He slept well with that x

did it fit into a suitcase?

We recently stayed away and we’re given a travel cot with a ‘mattress’ which was inbuilt to the cot about 1 inch thick 🫠 it was awful. Might be worth ringing to check!

I emailed them and ask they said was that they provide cot.... Not very informative

When on holiday we took the dockatot to put inside the travel cot!

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?
