Moving to own room

How many of you have moved your little one to their own room? My little boy is 24 weeks on Thursday and is waking himself up multiple times in the night (I think he is teething so could also be a factor) but I think he is outgrowing his next to me as he can’t move about in there. I know the guidance is 6 months but that’s only two weeks away so just wondered if anyone has any success stories with it? I’ve got really bad sleep anxiety at the moment unless we are co sleeping but I don’t want to co sleep anymore as I wake up stiff and don’t sleep properly. Any advice?

Hey! My baby has just turned 5 months and has been in his own room for over a month now. He hated his next to me. I did naps in his cot and found he slept better so I tried one night and he just preferred it! I was anxious the first few nights but it soon went x

We moved our LO last week when she was a few days off 5 months. I was disturbing her by snoring when i had a cold and she had pretty much outgrown her next to me cot! So far so good and shes only been waking up once a night and she lays in her cot babbering whilst she waits for me to go to her in the mornings. Do whats right for you x

Moved last sunday (12th) he turned 5m on the 13th x

Thanks everyone! I did it and he went until 2:30am in there! I slept awful though so anxious! Please tell me that gets better? X

it definitely gets better!!! Give it a few nights and you’ll sleep fine again, promise!
Although mines just started to sleep on his tummy and hasn’t mastered tummy to back roll so I’m up again most the night checking 😂 xx

that’s what mine did last night! He rolled at about midnight and I went and turned him onto his back and then by the time I’d gone to the loo and back in bed he was on his tummy again 😂 hopefully they learn how to roll back soon!

we can never win can we 😂😂 x

Sleeping bag

8 week old in sleeping bag for first time as big enough! Do you feed your child in the night whilst in the sleeping bag or taken them out, feed then transfer back to sleeping bag before putting down?

Leaky nappy help

What nappies are you using to stop leaks?? We use pampers ultra dry size 5, and for the past few nights he has lashed through and we’ve had to completely change him during the night. Last night he leashed through twice!! He sleeps on his front and stays leaks through at the top of his leg where the tabs connect. Didn’t know whether to size up, he has a bit of a belly on him but he’s smack in middle of weight guidance so shouldn’t need too

6 month old autistism

My 6 month old makes no eye contact with me and doesn’t respond when I call him. Can this just be a phase or personality trait as apposed to autism

New born

Finally had my baby girl via C-section on the 18th, everything has been so far. But I’ve noticed she’s very fussy and cries a lot. I’ve been trying to exclusively breastfeed. The lactation consultant at the hospital said I did look like I’m making enough milk for her. She was latching on good at the hospital and now here at home, she doesn’t seem to want to latch at all. She’s been crying a lot and very fussy. I’m just wondering is she’s colic or like maybe she just doesn’t want the breast anymore?

5.30am wakeups 😫😴

My 15 week old has started waking up about 5.30am and is really hard to settle back down - it’s like he thinks it’s time to wake up for the day. He used to go to bed at 9pm and was up at 8am but now he goes to bed between 7.30-8pm as he’s knackered by then but waking up at 5.30am😴. Any advice to get him to sleep a little longer in the morning?! Even an extra hour would be lovely 🤣
