My girl is 2 next Monday and still in with us. We are attempting (well doing it whether she does it or not) after her birthday. It’s a bit too much now and our near 6 month old is in his ow room next week too.

Don’t me wrong, I have loved her being in bed with us and her cuddles are AMAZING and she wakes up every morning and kisses you and goes ‘hiya’ but I wish I never started as I am dreading the transition. I’ve held it off for so long.

My daughter is two and I have no plans to move her out of the family bed until she asks for her own space.

my daugther is 2.3 years old and sleep in her bed, i never co-sleep wich i regret a bit but now she can sleep on her own without struggle except waking up sometimes but go back to bed in not even 10/15 min.

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. 🥺

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? 🥲

Self settling

Any tips or advice of how to teach 6.5month old to self settle? I’m up multiple times in the night to cuddle her back to sleep and put the dummy in. I understand she will wake up and want a cuddle etc but any tips on self settling would be appreciated 🥰

Baby losing weight

Hi all, it's been a long time since I had a baby (my son is 15!). My daughter is 10 days old and was 9lb born, she has since lost weight at every appointment and is at a 12% loss. I am breast feeding every two hours for over an hour and topping her up every feed. I pump and can get 60ml in 10 minutes so I know my supply is okay. Anyone had this before? Can give me some tips? I currently feel like I'm letting my baby down.
