Sleeping arrangements

Hi,
We're in a 3 bed and hoping to make the spare bedroom our eldest's, and the small room the baby room .

Thing is , we will need to have a spare bed at least for family staying over for childcare.
For those of you in a similar situation , what option do you go for ?
-bunk beds with steps ? (Our eldest is 4)
-trundle or day beds that unfold into two single beds?
- a chair bed to unfold ?
Advice is much appreciated

Washing liquid

Hi! I can’t stand the weird smell of any of the blue non bio washing stuff. Is there anything else that can be used for washing newborn? Something that smells a bit better 😬

Dream feeding

Hi
I need to stop dream feeding my baby at night when he wakes up. How do you do this or transition? He is mainly breastfed but I’ve started to give a bottle on the night on the last feed before he sleeps

Anyone else?

Anyone else a c section, co sleeping, breastfeeding mama and your body is just in bits? I don’t know if my bed is just uncomfortable postpartum or if it’s my body and cosleeping/breastfeeding positions. I feel like stretching helps a little but my hips and lower back especially are awful, but generally I just feel so achy and uncomfortable most of the time. Is it just me?

What wakes your baby up?

I'm curious...when your baby wakes overnight, what is it waking them up? Is it hunger or something else? My little boy (breastfed) only wakes for two nights feeds (which is great!) but wakes himself up after wriggling/flapping about in his sleep every 1.5/2 hours too 😬
