Baby monitor recommendations please

My baby is still in the next to me at the moment but I want to find a reputable monitor for when the time comes for her to move into her nursery she’s only 9 weeks and will be with us till at least 6 months but I want to introduce day time naps in her cot, so ideally want to have a monitor ready for that so I’m not in and out every 5 mins 🙈 TIA

We have this one, it’s great. Got it linked up to our iPad and our phones. You can buy a stand for it too xx

I ended up getting a camera one with WiFi, but also one that is just sound doesn't need WiFi in case WiFi doesn't work https://amzn.eu/d/cyD7BYz

Depends on your house in some ways. We had a dreo which was great but only works on Bluetooth and we have a Georgian house with thick walls so the reception was awful unless you’re in the next room! We now have a vtech WiFi one which is good but you need to make sure your WiFi is quiet secure

Great recommendations Thankyou everyone

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? 🥲

Baby with chronic congestion

Hi everyone! My 1 year has been a congested baby since birth almost. She breathes through her mouth so often that it wakes her up multiple times at night and she cries and screams and then struggles to go back to sleep. She wakes up every 1-3 hours and sometimes can’t go back to sleep for 2-3 hours!!! Piriton is the only thing that seems to help her sleep mostly through the night but I can’t keep giving her that!!
Does anyone have tips as to have I can do or give her? Has anyone experienced? I have no idea when I’ll get an ENT appointment and I have no idea what he can give a 13 mo :( we are desperate for sleep so any tips are welcome!! We have tried steam inhalation, saline drops, vapour rubs and everything off the counter basically!

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?

Showering

What’s everyone putting there wee ones in whilst jumping in the shower? Awake or sleeping.
