Do you use your nursery?

Just curious, I heard so often while I was pregnant that we would never use our nursery/crib, we use it daily! Do yall use yours?

No lol. Her crib got moved to our bedroom. So now I just go in there to grab clothes and diapers 😅

Not yet, she has a bassinet in our room, but we plan on ending room sharing at 6 months.

Not yet, we use playyard/bassinet that’s in our room for now

He doesn't sleep in his nursery at night but we hangout in there a lot during the day. That's where I like to nurse him in the daytime so it does get a lot of use.

100%!!! My baby has been sleeping in her own room since 3 weeks. She has slept so much better. Same with my first born. Helped my kids get on a schedule.

I just have a bassinet in our room but find he won’t sleep unless he’s on my chest :(

contact naps are good for baby! We do alot of that as well. She’s happy and doesn’t cry much, so I count it as a win.

Mine is basically just a big closet at the moment lol my bestie is coming up in 2 weeks to help me finish it (hanging pictures and book shelves and what not). I think I'll use it more after that. Baby is still in our room at night and nap time.

We're in the nursery throughout the day but he sleeps in a bassinet in our bedroom. I do his bedtime routine, play time and changes in his nursery

We use the nursery all day he sleeps in his crib more often if it’s a difficult night I’ll keep him in the bassinet for convenience sake

No he is in our room. We didn’t set up a nursery yet. 😅

Baby clothes

Just out of curiosity, why do parents love zipper onesies?

Don’t get me wrong, I tried zipper ones it’s easy to zip in and out when putting it on the first time and taking it out, but I find it difficult when changing diapers especially when baby is asleep.

I prefer those kimono style buttons where it’s easy to button or too down button with crotch snaps.

Is everyone thinking the same or different? Lol

At this point I’m not enjoying motherhood

My 22 month old is horrendous at the moment🫣 biting, hitting, pushing, pulling and shoving not only adults but children he also wants what other children have and will just snatch it away from them.

We repeat ‘nice hands’ ‘be gentle’ ‘let’s share’ etc

But how do I make him understand what he’s doing isn’t very nice? At the end of the day I feel like I’ve just been saying his name all day and nothing else.

What can I do?

Help

My LO every feed. Drs don’t seem to think it’s a problem the whole Muslim cloth gets soaked so much I’m using towels now. I’ve tried size O teats he gets really frustrated and still spills it out :(

Dummy

My baby has had a dummy since about 2 weeks old (now 5 months) and over the course of the last month we weaned her off it during the day only for naps and night (which was fine) and then 5 days took it completely away during the day.

The first day no dummy was fine, the second bit rougher. But now it feels impossible she just moans and cries all the time it takes ages for her to go down to sleep (she’s always been an amazing sleeper)

I thought it was meant to get better as time went on not worse. I’m at my wits end I dunno what to do.

Currently typing this as she screams uncontrollably in the car and I cry with her cos I can’t do anything.

Of these two, which seems more overall “demanding” to you, overall? Lighthearted poll, not putting anyone down 🫶🏼

As a mum who breastfed for 3 years, I think formula feeding seems 100x harder and more demanding. I give those mamas all the credit because I could not keep up with that faff haha. I truly don’t understand why people say breastfeeding is more effort, other than the fact that no one else can do it. But personally I’d take that over endless bottle prep & cleaning.

Is this normal?

My 12m old is really funny with kids going near him, he’s always been this way, but anytime family’s kids sit next to him or head his way he moans or cries and moves away. He also really observes them and is never really relaxed, always looking over his shoulder. Has anyone experienced this? (He’s starting nursery properly tomorrow so hoping this helps) but is this normal?
