Carrycot/pram for safe sleeping overnight

So we’re going away for 3 nights and with everything we need for the baby I don’t know if we’ll have room for a travel cot, I was wondering if the pram could be used just for 3 nights? My lo wakes every 3 hours so would get breaks from being in there… I have the nuna mixx next which says it’s safe for occasional over night but the stand isn’t available in the UK… don’t want to use it if it’s unsafe but can’t seem to find a definitive answer online

How old is your baby? If LO is a tall baby it might be a bit uncomfortable. I’m not sure, my LO is a chunk at 4 months and loves to toss and turn so the pram for overnight sleep would be a nightmare. Is co-sleeping a big no for you?
3 nights seems a bit much to me, but play around and see if she’d be comfortable by trying it out one night?

We’ve gone for the Oyster 3 travel system, I did a lot of research as a paranoid first time parent and then trying it out in the store I found that the carry cot has a built in rocker when you take off the feet. But I’m sure there’s LOTS of options that others will suggest as well ☺️

He will be 10 weeks when we go, he will sleep in it during the day after a walk comfortably, co-sleeping won’t be an option as it’s my 30th I will be having a cocktail or two one of the nights so wouldn’t want to risk it co-sleeping

Ah thanks I’ll have a look on the pram co.

I’ve read that you should not use carry cot / pram for long periods of sleeping. Might have something to do with the mattress. I was told this from a fellow pregnant colleague who done a class around safe sleeping. Hope this helps. Look on fb market for Moses basket if money is tight, I’ve seen some really cheap stuff on there. Or just buy a travel cot which I believe are relatively cheap from Argos (if you’re UK based) c

Unless by long term they’re referring to amount of hours, instead of permanently using it as a source for sleeping. Xx

I let me little one sleep in his pram when we go to my parents as he doesn’t like sleeping in a big travel cot yet. I only feel safe doing it because our travel systems carry cot attachment has ventilation you open at the back to allow for safe sleep. We also stick to the other safe sleep rules of flat / hard surface etc. personally I’d say three nights with a non ventilated carry cot would cause me to not be able to sleep xx

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. 🥺

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? 🥲

Self settling

Any tips or advice of how to teach 6.5month old to self settle? I’m up multiple times in the night to cuddle her back to sleep and put the dummy in. I understand she will wake up and want a cuddle etc but any tips on self settling would be appreciated 🥰

Baby losing weight

Hi all, it's been a long time since I had a baby (my son is 15!). My daughter is 10 days old and was 9lb born, she has since lost weight at every appointment and is at a 12% loss. I am breast feeding every two hours for over an hour and topping her up every feed. I pump and can get 60ml in 10 minutes so I know my supply is okay. Anyone had this before? Can give me some tips? I currently feel like I'm letting my baby down.
