Travel cot

Can anyone recommend a good overall travel cot? (Potentially to be used in our bedroom when LO grows out of next to me)

Stupid question.. But what are the advantages of buying a travel cot and not a wooden bed/cot? 🌷

We bought it for travelling but now My daughter uses it at home as a cot as she’s 5 months and her arm span was getting to big for her next to me crib and she likes to stretch out!

She has a wooden cot in her nursery for when she goes in to her own room 😊

Advice on headbutting

Hi I was wondering if anyone has any advice on what to do about my son headbutting his crib at night. He’s almost two and every night to soothe himself he hits his head relatively hard and this morning we got him up with this bruise on his head. Any advice on how to stop him hurting himself would be great

Tonie boxes, are they worth it?

I am guilty of screen time with my baby and I really want to cut down on this, my little boy has recently turned one and I’ve been thinking about getting him a tonie box. Are they worth it?

Did you implement a nighttime routine straight away and if so did your little one start sleeping through before 8 weeks?

Keep seeing people say it’s just luck. I think it’s a little bit of luck but also a good solid routine.

Obviously lots of exceptions, poorly babies etc.

MIL not listening

Just looking for a bit of advice. I'm really lucky to have a "village" and once a week my MIL watches the baby (10 wk), so I can shop/nip to the gym etc. The only problem is she doesnt feed her. Ill have expressed ready to go or formula as back up but she never feeds her.
My LO tends to cluster feed a little on a morning as shes a decent night sleeper, but only really cries at desperation - she puts her hand in her mouth or grunts as early warnings. Ive told MIL this, and asked her to feed when she sees it. Ive tried saying "she was fed 30 mins ago, she'll want another in half hour", but she never does.
Yesterday I explained shed been really hungry and hadnt expressed much as shed fed so much I hadnt had chance, said to give her a little formula as she'll want it in about 45 mins. I got home 3 hours later and asked how much shed eaten.
"Oh, nothing, she had a little cry but we distracted and she went to sleep. She'll probably be starving when she wakes up".
She was starving. And then had both sides (which she doesnt normally do) and ended up more refluxy and messed up her timings all night, so she woke up more through the night (not ideal as we have an event today).
I dont wanna fall out as I'm grateful for the help but I'm running out of things to try. My husband is on my side and wants to tell her not to come if she just wants her "to sleep" and not actually look after her. Any advice??
