Snuzpod - outgrown?

My little one is 3 months and we have had him in the snuzpod for night time sleep since birth.

He is very long (64cm) and I feel like he has outgrown the snuzpod and it could be contributing to him waking up as I find if he startles and touches the sides it wakes him.

Have others found the same? Would you go for a larger next to me for the next 3 months (if so what ones are spacious?) or transfer baby to nursery crib now? (The crib is too big to bring to another room unless I dismantle and reassemble in another room!)

Not the Snuzpod specifically but our LG outgrew her next to me crib very quickly. We ended up buying a travel cot for the in-between months as we didn’t want our baby in another room against safe sleep guidelines before 6 months

Our girl is long (think only a coupe weeks left in 3-6 month clothing kinda long) and she outgrew her moses basket at 10 weeks ish. But she still has plenty of space in her next to me, honest I'd get another next to me to keep him in your room longer. We've got a travel cot for when she does outgrow the next to me so that might be a good option too!

We had to put our son in his cot he was also a long baby and outgrew the next to me really quick. His cot was next to our bed.

Our son has outgrown his snuzpod and we're upgrading him to a cot (in our bedroom) today. I think if you already have the cot, and it fits in the room, the easiest thing might be to disassemble and reassemble instead of buying something else and then having to store that later on. Added benefit of getting them used to it before they transition to their own room down the line.

Could you reassemble the crib in your room?

We’ve transferred my twins to crib now just dismantled and reassembled 4 weeks ago! Between 4-6 months they start developing routine so will be easier to transfer now than in a few months!

Any routines you have that work for you, please let me know them with timestamps. my baby is 6 weeks and just wondering when we should start them?

Does anyone else’s baby spit up breastmilk but not formula?

I’m seriously considering seeing a lactation consultant because I don’t understand why he can’t hold down breastmilk but can formula. I use soy formula since I’ve used it with my daughter and I’m thinking it might be due to not getting milk coming in for a few days so I had no choice but to give him formula, but now even if I take breaks in between feeding him breastmilk to burp or try to mix breastmilk and formula, he spits it up sooo much. I’m ready to just give him just formula because I’m worried about him not eating enough

I think Motherhood has made me more bitter than I realized…

This is such a ramble but I don’t know where else to put it all.

I’m four months in and I don’t really have hobbies right now. I don’t do anything for myself except maybe doomscrolling or listening to a podcast while I breastfeed my baby. I used to craft and have game nights with friends. Activities that usually are at least 2 hour stretches. Now if I have an hour free my mind immediately goes to baby, or doing something in the house for baby.

And I thought I didn’t mind. Like I knew postpartum could be very mentally consuming. But I think it’s altering how I view people around me and it’s prodding at my relationship with my husband.

He spends most of his time making food for us, looking after our dogs, playing with the baby, ect. But he still has time for his hobby. Spends maybe an hour a night on it. Even adapted to using a bot for shopping for his hobby after a certain incident where we had to have a heart to heart after he left me home alone with the baby for hours during a busy workday (I work from home) to shop for his hobby.

And yet there’s like this little green eyed monster in me that rages every time I know he’s running off to start up the bot. Even though I’m the reason he does it this way.

We took a family trip last weekend to see his best friend and their kids and let them meet the baby. He brought the laptop. He’s always brought a laptop on trips and it’s never been a problem to me before. But one night we both woke up while the baby was still asleep, and he wandered out of the room. I tried to fall back asleep but couldn’t. So I went to the kitchen to try having something warm to drink to settle me. And he was there at the table running the bot from his laptop. I flipped out at him. But there really wasn’t reason to. It’s not like I needed help with the baby and he was ignoring me. He wasn’t avoiding our friends. He was just awake and unable to sleep and found something to do with his time. Yet my snap reaction was “why the hell would you do this on a family trip?”

I don’t know what it is. Maybe it’s the less complete sleep from baby’s middle of the night feed? My brain being just consumed by baby? Maybe I’m not as over that shopping incident as I thought? But I’m just so annoyed at his hobby right now. The green eyed monster thinks “you could be using that time differently” but realistically to do what exactly??? Stare at our baby in the dark???

I spent probably an hour apologizing to him after I snapped. And he’s of course hurt and frustrated because I said some very mean things in the moment.

I don’t want to be this jealous, angry person. But I also don’t know how to find time for myself in this right now outside of basic hygiene. It’s like I’ve forgotten how to be myself, even if just for an hour.

Maybe I need a therapist.
