Bed

Our cot doesn’t become a cot bed. So we will need to purchase something.
What age should the transition be we are at 14 months now?
I know probably too soon just yet, is it about 18 months to 2 years?

I’d say stay in the cot as long as possible until they start climbing out. My oldest boy moved into a low single at 2 and it’s been a battle since

Everyone is different, I plan on transitioning my little girl to a floor bed soon. However, I have friends who didn't move their babies out of a cot until they were 3.

My little boy was 2.5 when we moved him to a bed but that was only because we had a 6 month old waiting for a room 😂

Until they start climbing out the cot or until they are 3 years old, whatever happens first 🤪

We moved our little boy to a toddler bed when he was 2.5 years to make way for his little sister. It was a really easy transition for him. However our girl might be moving over before she turns 2 as we have another on the way and don't see the point in getting another cot, but we'll reassess closer to the time

Moved my eldest from a cot to single bed at 2.5 yrs old. Might be a coincidence but I found staying in the cot for that long helped solidify the habit to stay in bed once it’s time to sleep! Our friend moved her LO to a bed around 1 year old and had a real tough time getting her to stay in bed and go to sleep 😅

Help! First time mum -

I have a 4 month old and now all of a sudden when he’s been asleep for 1hr30/2hrs he will wake up screaming (high pitched) I’ve tried winding him sometimes that helps, I’ve tried bicycle legs & bringing his knees up but that doesn’t seem to help but he brings his knees up himself sometimes but nothing happens. I’ve noticed since the 4 month mark he has started to struggle passing wind downwards! Any tips?

Bath Time

Help! My baby is 3 and a half weeks old. Every bath she goes in quite happy but will only stay like this for a very few mins, if I try to clean her or move her we have tears and after a few mins the same. It's like she is scared. Our current baby bath is quite big should I try a different one? Looking for any suggestions as want her to enjoy bath time not be upset and I'm scared I'm going to make her hate it😢💗

Crying during feeding

Hey mams! My girl is 6 weeks on Monday and is having so much trouble with feeding. It doesn’t happen every feed but more often than not she will start a bottle and just start crying as if she’s in pain and she can’t take the milk. I think it’s trapped wind but I genuinely don’t know what to do it’s so pitiful to see her not be able to feed! She’s formula fed and on HiPP Organic.
Anyone else been in this position? I’m pretty sure it’s just a bit of trapped wind that she needs to fart out but can’t! If anyone has any advice I’d be very grateful as I think I may need to tape my eyelids open soon 😂
