Cot
My baby was having terrible sleep in his next to me, put him in his cot in his own room and sleep seems better, he loves his room so much! I ended up sleeping on a mattress in his room as i know hes too young at 3 weeks old! But he likes the space of his own bed! He started out great in his next to me but he is a big boy and already half way up the matressš¤£š¤¦āāļø
Has anyone elses baby prefered their cot to their next too me crib? I cant sleep in his floor until hed 6 months old!

My first was a bit like this but I persisted with the next to me as I wanted to sleep next to him for 6 months. He got used to it and now loves his own room still at age 2. A few times Iāve tried to just put him in with me in bad nights and he wonāt have any of it, just asks to go back to his cot. It definitely makes life easier once they get to the point of being in their own room. We did do naps in there too from about 3 months which he liked
I mean, you totally can sleep on a mattress on his floor until he's six months! If this is how everyone is going to get the best sleep there is absolutely nothing wrong with this set up ā„ļø just make sure you lift the mattress to air the underneath regularly

Leftover pregnancy/postpartum products
I have a load of leftover products either unopened or only used once, it seems a shame to throw them away any ideas what I can do with them? I donāt have any friends expecting or likely to get pregnant soon and I guess most places wouldnāt take them as donations? Based in London.

Milk leaking
Does anyone have any tips on how to stop milk leaking? After pumping Iāll put on a nipple pad but it gets soaked up and I leak through my tops/pyjamas.
Does anyone have any nipple pad recommendations? At the moment Iām just using the Boots own make.

Advanced autism possibility. Long one please read.
A silly remark from another mum at a toddler group has got my head frazzled and Iām now feeling concerned. I would love some advice from other mums on what you think of this situation.
My little boy has just turned 2 last month, heās extremely sociable, weāve gone to classes since he was around 2 weeks old and seeās other kids at nursery. We also have a huge family and friendship network with a lot of kids around his age.
Heās always been quite quick with his milestones, his talking is amazing for his age. Heās got a real interest in book, letters, numbers and shapes etc.
He now counts to around 30, he can tell you the full alphabet and can point to letters/numbers when jumbled up and still identify. Heās great with shapes and colours too. I just genuinely thought this was pretty standard. Heās always just shown a keen interest in learning through play! We play with his tuff tray a lot and I incorporate a lot of learning skills ie literacy and maths into this while still having fun.
Anyways, we were at a group and another mum was listening to him chat away and I asked him to spell his name, heās been doing this now while pointing to letters and spelling it out (itās on his bedroom wall) and now he doesnāt need to see the letters to spell it as heās got it in his memory. She approached and asked his age etc and literally asked if I had concerns of autism. I was shocked if Iām honest.
Later in the group one of the members got out his favourite book, he reads it most days at nursery and at home. We love the book therefore he knows whatās coming in the story and as the lady was reading my little boy decided to join in and was telling her whatās coming next. The same lady from earlier was sat next to me and make a snide remark, not a compliment and went āwow brainy ehā.
When weāre in supermarkets and he seeās the numbers above the aisles he likes to point them out. Or if we see a car parked he likes to tell me the entire reg plate. Is this a fixation or is it just an interest?
This has me so confused.
Can I have opinions please š„²
