What will your baby sleep in when downstairs

I know baby needs to sleep in same room where you are for first 6 months.

We have Tutti Bambini next to me in our room and TB cot in nursery as options but when downstairs where are you planning for baby to sleep.

I've considered

Moses basket
Chico hug /air crib
Getting another next to me crib
Using bassinet of pram

What do you have?

We have a Moses basket this time, because we have a toddler as well. But first time around she just either slept on me or in a sleepyhead type thing (I was always in the room)

We have a moses basket for around the house and the same as you with the tutti bambini in the bedroom.

I’ve got a sleepyhead type thing that will be on the sofa for supervised sleep. To be fair baby will probably be asleep on me majority of the time if anything like my daughter haha x

We got a snuzbaskit (moses basket) this time. Only because of toddler. First time we used pram/ purflo nest on sofa.

With my first I loved her sleeping on me whilst I watched TV. I’ve got a sling carrier this time so baby can sleep in that for a bit whilst I get some things done. I will also have a Moses cot in living room

Our baby is sleeping in the pram bassinet downstairs, we don’t have room for much else 🙈🤣

I got a Moses basket and stand free from FB marketplace and the stand fits the pram bassinet in it too (the bassinet is rated safe for sleeping) so we have a couple of options. We have a German shepherd pup so need places off the floor to put him!

I only have Tutti Bambini crib at the moment next to our bed. I would leave my baby there to sleep and getting a baby monitor camera then buy a cot when 6 months old.

I’ve got the tutti bambini next to me for upstairs and downstairs was given a cocoona which my sister in law used and loved for supervised naps 😁

So with my daughter I had a Moses basket in our room that I would take downstairs in the day. However this time we are in a bigger house which means more room in my bedroom so we’ve got the Tutti Bambini Cozee next to you for in our bedroom and then the Moses basket I used for my daughter which is a Claire De Lune Noah Pod will live downstairs in the living room!

@Amy yhh we also have the sleepy head but similar to your sisters advice during the antenatal class they don't recommend them because of the raised sides a baby can roll over and suffocate! So it does need to be monitored. You can't put your baby in there for their nap and you also go and have a nap.. whereas a moses basket or next to me is completely flat so is safer, so you can both nap

Got the Cozee Go 3-in-1 - starts of as bassinet and converts to toddler crib and playpen for later on.

A nesting pod (similar to sleepyhead) had one with my youngest and he slept amazing. Helped get him used to what daytime naps to nap time sleep comforts were too

@Amy lool we also have a prep machine 🤣. The antenatal lady was not impressed with everyone who said they have it.. although also at a john lewis nursery advice session the lady said although they sell them, its not nhs recommended and she would not use it herself! .. I guess we just need to be careful with everything as we would do anyway!

Can someone pls help i keep making this post and nobody is responding

My boyfriend booked a trip for us to go to mexico for a week as my push present. I have severe anxiety leaving my 7 month old with my mom. I know she will be in good hands but she’s exclusively breast fed for the most part but accepts bottles just fine. i have all my pumping parts packed and will pump when baby normally eats but i don’t want baby to forget me or have latch issues when i return!! any mommas ever experience this?

Vanilla extract

Has anyone used alcohol free vanilla in their babies formal to help them drink?
I’m 100% sure my baby refuses her bottles as she doesn’t like the taste of it!

Just anxious to try it, don’t want her to get used to it and then refuse bottles again after two weeks of using (correct me if I’m wrong but I’ve read you use it for 2 weeks max)

TIA 🙂

Sex post C section

Hi ladies I’m 4 weeks 5 days postpartum and I had a C section. I’m not bleeding properly anymore just some brownish discharge stuff that starts on and off. I’d like to do the deed with my partner; is it okay to do so or shall I wait the full 6 weeks. I feel up for it but also worried because the advice is 6-8 weeks.

Postpartum

I’m only 3 days postpartum (FTM) and already have extremely bad anxiety. I’m crying every night, as I think of another night of no sleep. My baby will not settle in his cot, he cries every moment we put him down unless in his chair rocker. So me and my partner are having to alternate after 3/4 hours of being awake with him downstairs. I’m trying everything to get him to settle. It’s a load of overwhelming stress. I’m 23, I was desperate for a baby and now I have one and feel completely useless. I miss it just being me and my partner.

I feel like just a milk cow

Hi I have a 16 day old via c section, I'm a FTM never having been around babies before as I am the youngest of my household and from a small family. My husband is fantastic with our little one. But ever since I've had the baby I just feel like the only thing I'm good for is producing milk. I feel disconnected from my husband like the only reason he's around is because am producing milk. We were having some issues before the baby and we're struggling it took a while to feel like he was onboard even though he said he was from the moment we found out. I dunno if I'm feeling like a spear part because I'm lacking confidence with baby or because I feel like he wouldn't mind being a single dad. Is this postpartum hormones or something else?
