Mom of 2 and 3th on the way ….
Don’t mind buying a bassinet , you won’t be using that for too long. Get use the baby in her/his baby crib if the rooms are close. Going to help you in the future for Sleep training🙏🏾♥️

thanks 😊
I was thinking of a crib in baby room and a bassinet for the initial couple of months for sleeping at night. How did you manage the sleep in the initial months?

Just trying to understand how all of this works🤍

I'm on baby #2 and have used a bassinet for both. Haven't found a huge difference in which one is used in terms of baby sleep, but we tacky liked our ingenuity. I highly recommend Facebook marketplace and buy nothing groups since most aren't used long term. My first was in a crib by 8 weeks and this one will likely max out the limit of 20 lbs

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?
