Moses basket?

I’ve got a bugaboo Dragonfly pushchair with bassinet, which seems to be safe for sleeping in (from what I’ve read online so far) so unsure whether or not to get a Moses basket as well? Anyone got a Moses basket they’d recommend? We had one 2nd hand with our 3yo but it went damp in storage so needs to be chucked but not sure whether to replace and what with?
Little Green Sheep look lovely but are quite pricey…

Following as we're thinking the same thing!

We have the Bugaboo Dragonfly which I'm considering using for occasional day naps and when away for a night. Have a bedside crib for regular nighttime sleeping.

I have the Bugaboo Fox, next to me and a little green sheep Moses 🩷

For downstairs, I plan on just using the Bugaboo fox pram bassinet. And then a snuzpod crib upstairs. Some babies outgrow a Moses basket quite quickly, so I think if you can get the pram around downstairs easily (even detaching and just placing on the floor?) just use that.

a very good point. Maybe I’ll start with the bassinet and see how we go…

why did you go for little green sheep? They look lovely online - are they sturdy?

I’ve got one with a rocker and it’s very sturdy. Although there’s not an option to stop rocking like others I’ve seen but I’ll just put something under the legs if it startles baby when she’s asleep.
My midwife advised that sometimes babies prefer sleeping in there cos it’s smaller and cosier than a next to me so she may end up being in there more often for as long as she fits.
I tried a mamas and papas one before this and it was very unstable and felt cheap so sent it straight back.
I like that it’s made out of natural materials and it looks really good too 🩷

I’ve ordered one! 🤣

Leaky nappy help

What nappies are you using to stop leaks?? We use pampers ultra dry size 5, and for the past few nights he has lashed through and we’ve had to completely change him during the night. Last night he leashed through twice!! He sleeps on his front and stays leaks through at the top of his leg where the tabs connect. Didn’t know whether to size up, he has a bit of a belly on him but he’s smack in middle of weight guidance so shouldn’t need too

My little one is struggling with sleep

Hey! I'm in need of some advice please girls! My little boy is 20 months turns 21 months in 2 half weeks. He use to sleep through the night now he is waking up every single night in the early morning, I've had to transition him to a toodler bed as he kept climbing out his cot. Just need some advice on what I can do to help him get back in to a sleep pattern?

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. 🥺

6 month old autistism

My 6 month old makes no eye contact with me and doesn’t respond when I call him. Can this just be a phase or personality trait as apposed to autism

4 month bed time

What time do you put your babies to bed?
What time do you start your 'routine?'
My LO currently goes to bed around 10.30pm, and I know i need to start bringing it forward. Everytime ive tried, it takes longer for my LO to settle.
We are exclusively breastfeeding. Any advice Mamas?

New born

Finally had my baby girl via C-section on the 18th, everything has been so far. But I’ve noticed she’s very fussy and cries a lot. I’ve been trying to exclusively breastfeed. The lactation consultant at the hospital said I did look like I’m making enough milk for her. She was latching on good at the hospital and now here at home, she doesn’t seem to want to latch at all. She’s been crying a lot and very fussy. I’m just wondering is she’s colic or like maybe she just doesn’t want the breast anymore?
