Mine goes in her cot in own room for morning nap. Last week we switched her over to a travel cot in our room at night time!

Yeah the recommendation is 6 months.

We have just enough space at a squeeze to have our little girl's cot bed in our bedroom. So we moved her into it around 4 months as she was too big for her crib now, and then our plan is at 6 months to move her cot bed into her room.

Although I may sleep on a mattress in there at the beginning, I haven't decided yet

We would have done 6 months but moved him in last week 5months 1 week because my fiances work alarms started scaring him awake in tears so he’s in his own room now and he’s been absolutely fine we have a baby monitor so we can hear and see him in the night x

We have just moved our daughter to her own room this week as we have sleep trained her. She is 5 months and 10 days. I have been sleeping on an air bed in her room but last night I slept in my own bed as I was disturbing her. We have the monitor on loud and video on so can see her at all times. I often wake up to check on her and she wakes 2-3 times a night for a little feed.

You do what is right for you and your family xx

Colostrum

How much colostrum should I bring with me to the hospital? I’ve got about 20ml but don’t want to take all of the syringes with me as I know I won’t use them all. Thank you 😊

A constant loop

Has anyone else felt like the days are flying by? By the time I get my son up, dressed and first bottle. He’s back down for a nap and everything repeats itself with a bit of play time during wake windows.

I feel like I’m constantly counting down each nap and bottle then before I know it, it’s time for bed again.

Being intimate after an episiotomy

I gave birth 4 weeks ago and the delivery was difficult, my baby was in the wrong position and with the cord around her neck, but the midwife didnt check and got me to push for an hour with no luck. I then was taken to the operating room and had a forceps delivery with an episiotomy. Im now 4 weeks post partum and I am conscious of my intimate area as I can always feel it but its not exactly painful just not comfortable like it was before. A few days ago a midwife said my stitches look to have gone now and it looks healed but I know ill get it properly reviewed at the 6 week medical check. My husband and I do want to be intimate as its been a while now, but im conscious that my area doesnt look or feel the same as it did before and I dont know what it will be like when I do have sex again. Im curious what others experiences have been who have had an episiotomy.

Own room

When is everyone realistically thinking of putting their babies in their own room? I feel like we would all sleep so much better if mine was in his own room by now!
