Separate beds/room or share bed??

If you could pick, which would you rather do with your partner?

My grandparents has separate bedrooms and I always thought it was unusual, but shrugged my shoulders at it.

Then for the last 3-4 years I’ve shared one with my partner up until this last weekend and I have missed having a whole bed to myself! It has been great and honestly considering keeping this arrangement now 😅

Separate duvets!! Honestly it was a game changer for us, we've got different TOG ratings, he no longer wakes me with every tiny movement (I'm a light sleeper) and we've both always got good duvet coverage!

I love my sleeping buddy. Now I would love separate closets. That went away when we moved 😖

I need my partner next to me to be able to sleep. Would love to have a king size bed though.

We sleep up each others asses basically but sometimes I do want my own blanket cuz he’ll have half of it on the floor 😑

My partner and I have a split king so technically we share a room but not a bed. I need to have him next to me but I like to adjust my bed to my liking and he can do the same. We watch tv and talk to each other at night plus he always has good snacks to steal so I can’t imagine not being in the same room

My partner sleeps on the couch lately because he takes forever to wake up to his MANY alarms and I got so tired of being woken up by him and our daughter when she wakes up. I love having the bed to myself😅 I think if we decided to sleep together again one day we’ll be getting a bigger bed🤣

I can’t sleep without him anymore like I wake up out of my sleep if he leaves the bed lmao

I liked sleeping alone, when my former partner took to the couch I loved it, just me and the baby sprawled out

When we switched fully to formula, we started doing one night one one night off with one of us sleeping in with the (Velcro) baby who was just getting used to her new room and one of us getting a full uninterrupted night sleep in our room and it was sooo good for my mental health and my marriage in general to know that I always had at least one full night’s sleep on the horizon and that things were more ‘fair’ between me and my husband in terms of being there for my baby who is not the best sleeper.

My dream is to have my own room, but we do not have the space right now. One day 💭

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?

Breastfeeding

Does it ever feel better? The actual feeding part of it is going really well and baby boy is growing so well. I’m struggling with how my boobs feel day to day - it’s really getting me down most days. The let downs make me feel awful and sounds silly but, I am also really missing not wearing a bra! 9 weeks postpartum and still getting fairly engorged, even with comfort pumping.

Any advice or just shared stories would help. I’m so torn between carrying on because I enjoy the feeding side of it or switching to formula.

Big nursing bras!

I’m looking for recommendations for good nursing bras for bigger breasted ladies!

I’m currently in a 38H which seems to be the biggest size done at M&S (UK based mama here) and it’s snug and not as supportive as I’d like. When I look online, they mainly seem to be sized S, M, L, XL etc rather than bra sizes.

Any recommendations please?

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😢💗

Strange question

Hello. I would identify myself as asexual but yes i am married and i have a child. But now that ive had my baby. I think its solidified that im done having sex. I feel bad as my partner keeps asking me but i just dont want to. Any advice on what i can do? Any other asexual moms out there? I guess this could be confusing but im not huge on being bound by a label. I have just always felt it represented me best since highschool.
