Bed sharing mamas - set up??

So I am bed sharing with my baby. It’s the only way we get sleep. She is now practicing standing and is super mobile. I feel on edge that she will fell of the bed.

How do you guys do it? Push the bed against a wall? Have you got some covers on the side . Share all your tips x

Showering with my baby? Is it unsafe/ wrong?

Is it weird to take a shower with my baby boy? Is it a bad thing? I’ve been thinking about it a lot lately because I can never shower I’m 11 weeks pp and my husband started a new job. He is gone all day to work and I can’t just leave my baby alone so I can shower. I can’t hear the monitor over the running water and even if he is sleeping if I leave the room he wakes up and starts crying and doesn’t stop unless I pick him up and if I put him down again he cries again and I’m against letting my baby just cry it out. So I’ve been neglecting my own self care and hygiene and it’s really taking a toll on my mental health. So I guess what I’m really wondering is it wrong, and is it unsafe?

Am I over reacting?

MIL came over on sunday to help with childcare, I'm heavily pregnant so she said why don't you go for a nap while I'm here.
I had a 2 hr nap upstairs and during that time she fell asleep on the sofa for 1.5 hrs. I know because we have security cameras round the house which i looked at later on after she'd gone.
My daughter slept for 30 mins on her, on the arm of the sofa and then the rest of the time she was left with the TV on.
I'm really annoyed because we have a wooden floor, a coffee table that she tries to climb on, she had hair ties which she often pulls out and tries to chew therefore a choking risk.
She's 20 months old.
Am I over reacting?
The worst thing is when I came downstairs after my nap, she 'she's not had much sleep only about 10 minutes'. But idk how she'd know that because my daughter woke up ages before she did.

Boy night time diapers

Hey boy mommas! I have a 5 month old tomorrow and for the past couple nights, he’s started peeing through his diapers at night and soaking his clothes. Any suggestions on the best night time diapers for baby boys who pee a lot?

Sleep!

Is anyone else having literally no luck with sleep!? I feel like I’m the only one.. 13 week and 3 days old and not had 1 successful night yet… he will extremely rarely have 1 longer stretch at the beginning of the night which in the bassinet is only 2-3 hours then won’t settle in it for longer than 30 minutes the rest of the time.. I’ve done everything suggested - heated mattress etc etc etc. During the day either pram or contact naps only and then even when attempting co-sleeping I don’t really sleep well so that hasn’t even been a solution. I’m lucky my partner is still off so we are doing shifts but feels like we will never solve the problem? He goes to sleep for the night at 8pm and will last till about 1/2am without a feed and then again till 4/5am it’s just the sleep is all contact or some bassinet on a lucky night! SOS 😂

Next to me crib

Is my baby growing out of her next to me? She’s 4.5 months old and I’m not ready to put her in her own room yet (I know should wait until 6 months anyway) but is she still okay in this crib?

Are nursing bras worth it?

Pregnant with my first I do plan to exclusively breast feed. I definitely don’t want pads or underwire. Are nursing bras with the front hooks worth it or do yall just pop a boob our the bottom of a bralette?
