Yeah my four month olds pretty big and he’ll be coming out soon but no idea what to transition into??

Avatar

We will have to transition our little boy to his own room once this happens as we don’t have room for anything else in our room!

I’m thinking a travel cot maybe? I aren’t ready for him to go in his own room and big cot yet! 😩😂

Avatar

maybe that’s what I’ll have to do! Think it’s time for a monitor!

I’m actually thinking it might be time for me to move mine soon as we wake him up allll the time but he also needs settling often!! Don’t know what to do😅I better start looking at big cots, what one do you have??

Avatar

Ahhh I aren’t ready for that yet and he needs settling loads too.
I have the tutti bambini next to me.
And a mama and papas cot in his own room.
I think I might look into a travel cot for now until we are ready for the big move 😂 x

@Liz We have only just moved out of the moses basket in the last week! She was so tiny in the next to me, she wouldn't settle at all as a new born 🥹 born on the 11th x

My little boy is too long and we’re transitioning to his cot in his own room this weekend, no other option really as his legs are bent now in his Moses basket. Our house is very small though so our entire upstairs is probably the same size as some people bedroom

Avatar

I used it till he was over a year old. He was huge. He really slept cuddled into me, so the bed was just an extension to make sure he doesn't fall off. It was flat to our bed.

Avatar

she’ll only sleep in my bed… Yh ‘used for a max of 15 mins’ otherwise brand new..!

Avatar

My little boy grew out of his when he was 3 months. He’s now in a cot bed in my bedroom so he’s still close to me.

Avatar

I bought a narrow crib! It’s smaller than a normal crib so still fits in my room but it’s longer so there’s a lot more space!

Avatar

Mine is good up to 9.98kg/25lbs. Are you all saying your baby is nearly 25 lbs at 4 months?!

Avatar

no just the length his him, his heads not too far from the top I reckon in a month he will be too long x

Avatar

We’ll move to his cot in his own room when this happens but likewise don’t think we are too far away from this x

Avatar

My lg is 18 weeks (4 and half months) and she is almost as big as the crib so will have to transfer her any week now..

I have cots cot/ cot bed and took one side off there is a cosleeper group on Facebook which is amazing for ideas and talking you through your set up and how you can make it better. I have the mama and papa petite cot which is smaller and better in space but still a great size and has two heights too

AITA

In the uk there is an outbreak of meningitis, in a specific area mainly. My BD has family from that area and decided to go and meet up with them, I said if he does then he cannot have contact with the kids for 7-10 days after incase he picks anything up. Am I being over dramatic? I reallyyy don’t want my young kids getting anything serious

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

This might rattle some people

Ok, this might get a bit long, and a bit bumpy, so get comfy and buckle up.

So about a week or 2 ago, there was a post on here regarding sleepovers. Not letting their child go to them as you can't trust who'll be at the house etc.

Now, given recent incidents in nurseries and schools, plus my own experience back in the 90s, I am more concerned about sending my child to nursery and later school than I am to a friend's house for a sleep over.

The other day a man was jailed for abusing children at the nursery he worked at. A woman has been arrested for sleeping with an underage boy and then getting pregnant by a different underage boy while on bail for the first offence.

Young girls and boys get sexually harassed and bullied when at school, not all of them. But more than you think. And not just by other kids, but by adults who we as parents are trusting to look after our kids.

A sleepover, is a more controlled environment, with only a handful of people coming into contact with your child. A school, a club etc there can be 100s of people coming into contact with your child.

I was targeted at 7 years old by the owner of a prominent private school. Thankfully, I wasn't SA'd. In year 5 of primary school, I started to develop early, I was harassed by the boys and teachers made remarks about how my uniform didn't fit right, always "adjusting it" around my chest and legs.

Years 7-9 of secondary school were hell. But it was all under the guise of "we're just messing around". A teacher twanging my exposed bra strap (none uniform day) is not "messing around".

Boys pinning me down trying to rip open my shirt to see my breasts.

I fear for my daughter. I hope she takes after my father's family, flat chested.

We need to educate all our children, what is acceptable behaviour. And to come to us, as their parents should ANYTHING happen.

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?

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.
