Safe co sleep

Any recommendations on mesh bumpers or anything for your bed while cosleeping? My baby moves A LOT

The only safe options are
1: teaching baby to get in and out of bed safely
2: sidecar a full size cot the same way you would a next to me
3: have a floor bed.

Any kind of bumpers or bed rails are unsafe till 18+ months and pushing a bed against the wall is also unsafe

Bumpers aren’t considered safe for cosleeping! I would recommend putting your bed on the floor

Or side car your crib!

A soft landing lol 🤣

My bed is on the floor but I have pillows on the ground too just incase

Ok I’ve already got the crib on the side so I’m on track then lol
It’s just that if I want to switch sides, I have to flip my head to the opposite side of the room because I’m terrified to have my back towards him

Follow cosleepy on insta. I think the safest option is a floor bed if they’re very mobile

Health Visitor Home Visit

Hii, could anyone explain what the health visitor does on their home visit?

Also if anyone had a home birth, what the midwife home risk assessment involves?

I’ve got 3 home visits coming up in the next two weeks (health visitor, midwives and doula) and it’s making me nervous for some reason. I think having 3 just feels like a lot and a bit invasive if that makes sense!

Did you know this was a thing?

Didn’t know this existed! I’m actually not breastfeeding 2nd time round (though wish I did) after a bad experience with my 1st baby. But this is something I 100% needed 1st time round.

Fighting naps

Does anybody else feel like they spend all day trying to get baby to nap? I get tempted to give up as he must not be that tired but he is too cranky to play or do anything else!

How are we entertaining our babies

What toys does everyone have for their 7 month old?
Nothing is satisfying my little girl she's got blocks, rattles, playmats loads more. She would much rather hold my hands and walk all day but I cant physically do that and whenever I put her down to play she just wont, is this just a faze?

Any experience with different teats?

Hey Mamas

So my little girl is exclusively breastfed but she wont even take FRESHLY PUMP milk from the bottle. I had a whole 4oz that was going to waste and baby girl was just massanging her gums and smiling lol :/
Ive tried adding extra holes with a needle, the ol' switcheroo (BF first then switch ti bottle) but she's very keen and notices straight away.
Im currently using Nuby and Tommee silicone bottles, and I would like to try more softer, boob-like teats.

Id ideally like her to take a bottle so Dad can give me a REAL break yknow.

Has anyone had this same experience? Any teats one would recommend?
Thank you in advance!
