My LO has been moved over already she’s too big for the carry cot and she likes to be able to see her surroundings. I don’t think it really matters when you do it. Most prams have the ability to lie the upright bit down x

My little girl is 4 months I just moved her over she’s always trying to sit up and hates being laid down when she’s awake she loves it! Mine also can lay down so when she falls asleep I just lay it down for her xx

Moved my little man over yesterday, at nearly 4.5 months. He still fit in his bassinet but was getting frustrated in it when awake. He was delighted with the new setup.

We have it on a recline so he doesn't have to work too hard keeping himself upright. 🙂

My daughter is 4 months 5 in a weeks time . She was starting to try and pull herself up in the carrycot and is super nosey wanting to see everything and everyone 🥰 We have just moved her into the sit up part , she is so much more content! She had very good head/neck control tho which I believe is what they say they should have . I have the Icandy which can be reclined into the lying position if I need too 🙂

We moved out little one at about
3 3.5 months. He was just getting too big for the bassinet

We just tested my girl in the pram today, it was my sons pram but he’s 2 now so doesn’t really use it & he went in it at 4 months. My girl is still a little too small for it, she’s below the 20th centile tho x

My 5 week old is always up from 1am every hour grunting and squeaking and just won’t sleep. I end up having to bring him with me and I’m worried I’m creating a rod for my own back. I’m exhausted. First half of the night he’s okish. But from 1/2 it’s absolute hell. He farts a lot then as well but I just dunno what to do. Last night was the worst it’s been.

Not sure what’s wrong- 5months

Has anyone experienced any of the below problems with their baby?
He’s always a happy baby so this is completely not him. He’s a terrible sleeper but now it’s worse, if it could.

He’s was EBF but now on formula for the last 2 weeks. 2 days in a row now he’s vomitted a lot of milk out everywhere in the evening and just before bed.
For example I was walking around the room with him around 18:45 and it just came out of no where everywhere.

He’s very miserable and takes ages to get to sleep. Crying lots.
He’s been dribbling a lot, flushed one cheek but I can’t see any teeth coming.

All night he just won’t settle in his cot. Sometimes just starts crying hysterically and I can’t settle him at all.

A very tired mama.

Any advise on what it could be?

Naps!

My lo is 7.5 months and has recently struggled to be put in her cot for naps/sleep. She will sleep on me but as soon as I lie her down wide awake! Help!

Pregnancy insomnia??!

Hey, I’m 28 weeks and this is my 3rd baby. For the past 2 weeks I am able to get to sleep fine but really struggling with 3-4am wake ups. Once I wake up I cannot get back to sleep, meaning come 9-10am I am absolutely exhausted. Has anyone gone through this and is able to shed some tips on what might help

Is there any correlation between sleeping through the night and types of feeding?

Did your baby age 0-6months sleep through the night, 6 hours or more, and how were they fed? It always see like formula fed babies sleep through the night sooner than breastfed babies.

Sleeping through

If your baby is sleeping through the night are you ever nervous about saying that to other parents with babies of the same age? My toddler no longer sleeps through without coming into our bed but did until about 11 months old and now my 11 week old has been sleeping solid for 3 or 4 weeks now. I always feel like I can’t say it to other mums because it comes across like I’m showing off…I know what the sleep deprivation feels like and how you can just resent anyone for anything🤣 but I kind of feel like I can’t relate sometimes.
