Is your baby still in the room with you?

Currently co sleeping but thinking about moving my baby girl to another room as she moves a lot and cries in her sleep (not necessarily waking up but I do!). She still feeds overnight but I figured I would actually get more sleep if she’s not in bed with me.

I went from co-sleeping to putting my girl in her crib! She's been used to her crib from an early age as i would place her down in there after she woke up and after a change.

I wasn't getting any sleep co sleeping as she also hit the 4 month regression and just wanted to feed all night.

She wakes up 1-2 times a night to feed atm and is 6 months!

Thanks Claire. Is the crib in your room? Or is she in another room?

We moved our little one to her own room when she grew out of her bassinet. Started out slow by putting her in her crib for day naps to get her used to the room and the crib. Then added in the nights.

@Alessandra, she's in her own room! I wake at the slightest noise, so it was better for my sleep and hers, honestly! Co sleeping works for some families but didn't for us. I was so sleep deprived.
Moving her has been great. She gets anywhere from 5-8 hour stretches before waking for a feed.

You take it at your own pace though and do it when you're ready! ❤️

I moved our daughter to her cot in her own room around 4 months. She is tall for her age and outgrew her bassinet. She was waking almost every hour because she didn’t have the space to move. I didn’t move her sooner because I was trying to stick to the sleeping in a bassinet until 6 months and in our room rule until 12 months. Once we moved her to the cot she was sleeping from 7-7 with the occasional over night feed (she’s formula fed). I will say that we live in a 2 bedroom granny flat so her room is literally right next to ours, I hear the slightest movements and we have the owlet sock and a baby monitor for extra precaution. At the end of the day do what’s best for you 🩷🌻

We moved our girl to her own room when she was 5 months. She sleeps a lot better in her own room, but I miss her! If she slept well I think I’d still have her in the same room.

my daughter was in my room until she hit 2 months and then we moved her to her own room in her cot at 2 months old as she was too big for the bassinet, we never co-slept and now she has her naps and all night sleeps in her cot

Hi Alessandra, how is the sleeping process going? Did you change her to the crib? We are in a similar situation, co- sleeping, and he wakes up to breastfeed at least 3 times a night.

I did not 🙈 still co-sleeping and feeding multiple times during the night. She’s been terrible congested form daycare and she’s teething so I didn’t feel like making major changes. A few times I tried resettling without breast and worked for the both of us. Will be trying this to slowly reduce the night feeds but still keeping the closeness of the co-sleeping

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.

Did I overreact?

I have had 3 c sections, recently had a wisdom teeth removal (4) to be exact and all my mom did was visit the day BEFORE and then she only sent 1 text. She has NEVER spent one full day with me and doesn’t acknowledge my achievements much. She just isn’t there when I need her to be. She claims she’s always working but she lives like 7 minutes away! she can come help with the kids so my husband can have break? we don’t ask her for much and she only sees the kids 1-2 a month. She also didn’t visit with my last c section. I told her that she should’ve gotten the abortion when she had the chance with me because why would you have me and neglect me emotionally? To not actually give me a present father in my life. I am very angry all she does is disappoint me. She only wants to show up for certain people in the family and I just want to grab her and shake her and ask her why can’t she be a good present mother?
