Sleeping in own room
For anyone who has transitioned their little ones to the cot, have they slept better? I’m currently co-sleeping (my LG has outgrown the snuz pod) but sometimes I think I’m part of the problem as I react so quickly if she wakes up and hasn’t learnt to self settle. Just looking for any advice or positive stories but I’m beyond exhausted at 6 months old now she’s never slept for longer than 3 hours, currently she’s waking every 40mins to an hour. X

We moved our twins into their own room at 15 weeks as they outgrew the only 2 cots that would fit in our room. The last few nights they’ve done longer stretches 5/6 hours but won’t lie usually it’s every 2/3 but hoping that was the sleep regression 🤞 we do not let them cry, I really do rush in too, but they have a moany noise which is their signature I’m tired noise so when I hear that they usually self settle within a minute. If they don’t I’m going in and patting them or rocking on the mattress before picking them up if they are really crying and that’s not working. I have a song I sing to them before bed and find that settles them too x

Would this bug you?
My partner does his own washing (great!) and I do mine and our toddler’s.
Sometimes I put toddler’s clothes straight in the washing machine if they are ditched, with a view that I’ll do a load later.
But this morning, my partner needed to do a load of washing and instead of washing our toddler’s clothes with his (toddler had a vest, jumper, and a top), my partner took our toddler’s clothes out, put them on the side, so he could wash his own clothes???
Why not just chuck our toddler’s clothes in with his?
This has happened twice now and he’s never washed our toddlers clothes

Being on phone whilst breastfeeding or holding baby
Husband wants me to stay off my phone when breastfeeding day or night. He says the phone is too close to the baby's head. Husband is annoyed that I said No. I'm up doing nights and baby's in my arms and I should stay off my phone. Ridiculous. He said i should read or listen to something instead.
😒
Thoughts? Anyone else doing this.
FYI i'm not on my phone all feeds. Just at 3 something in the morning when I have had minimal sleep yes I am on my phone trying to stay awake.

Fighting sleep
My little girl is 15 weeks and for the last 3ish weeks has been fighting every day time nap, and bedtime.
She doesn’t have strict wake windows and I just follow her sleepy cues, which are usually rubbing eyes, yawning, and staring into space. When she gets to this point I will give her her dummy to soothe into sleep, but she resists it to the point I have to rock her whilst she screams for 20 minutes before finally falling asleep.
She only wakes twice in the night around 1:30 for a feed and again at 6:30.
Is there a way to stop this or will she just naturally learn to fall asleep peacefully one day? 😂
