Moving baby into own room

Hi everyone, my little one will be 1 in just over 4 weeks and is still in my room, he sleeps in his cot next to my bed and is breastfed. Still wakes up around 2-4 times in the night but not for long generally. When did everyone else move their little ones into their own room? If we were to move him would he maybe wake less frequently for milk as he can’t sense me? That could sound silly but any advice is appreciated!! Thank you🥰

I moved my little one into his own room just after he turned 1.
For a while he still woke fairly frequently for feeds but eventually it just fizzled out and at around 15 months he just magically started sleeping through the night. Just follow his lead, it was tiring at first getting up multiple times but it’s always temporary and we were both ready for the transition 😊
Does he nap in his own room? I had him napping in his own room for around a month before I started putting him in there at bedtime x

I moved my son into his own room at 6 months old. He slept a lot better in his room once we moved him. I started popping him in his cot from 5 months for a few minutes if I was doing things like putting washing away just so that he could get used to his room and the space in his cot.

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. 🥺

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?

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? 🥲

Baby with chronic congestion

Hi everyone! My 1 year has been a congested baby since birth almost. She breathes through her mouth so often that it wakes her up multiple times at night and she cries and screams and then struggles to go back to sleep. She wakes up every 1-3 hours and sometimes can’t go back to sleep for 2-3 hours!!! Piriton is the only thing that seems to help her sleep mostly through the night but I can’t keep giving her that!!
Does anyone have tips as to have I can do or give her? Has anyone experienced? I have no idea when I’ll get an ENT appointment and I have no idea what he can give a 13 mo :( we are desperate for sleep so any tips are welcome!! We have tried steam inhalation, saline drops, vapour rubs and everything off the counter basically!

Combi feeding advice

Has anyone gone from EBF to combi feeding? Currently do one bottle of EBM per night and they one half formula half breast milk mixed in the day. The other times she still feeds on me. Ideally I want to feed all day via bottle and all night with breast. She’s 7 weeks and takes a bottle well, how long should I leave it before adding another bottle to her daily routine?
