We did :) you can put something in front of it so your child can’t roll out but the height is generally so low they won’t get hurt. We personally decided to cosleep in the floor bed but he’s more independent and sleeps alone for parts of the night :)

There are also ‘soft bed rails’ so a kid won’t roll out. Around 30$ on Amazon. It’s like a pillow for the side of the bed tha goes under the sheet

Sleeping position?

Does anybody else’s newborn sleep in an odd position? Or can anyone tell me why my baby does this? It looks super uncomfortable and no matter how many times I readjust him he goes back into this same position. He favourites the left side as well, he never does this on the other side.

Tips on how to get breastfed baby to take a bottle? My LB currently only feeds using a shield (we use MAM) and he would always take a bottle (MAM) previously but I got lazy and stopped using it for a while and now he’s refusing😅 I’m going out in a couple of weeks so really need him to take to it again😅 any tips greatly appreciated x

First time mom issues

Ever since I became a mother, I get criticized for almost everything.

I breastfeed, and I constantly hear that “breast milk doesn’t fill the baby up” and that I should give formula.

I’m currently unable to work, and I hear things like, “This is America people don’t stay home with kids, put the baby in daycare,” even though I’ve applied and haven’t been approved yet.

My child feels safe enough to be herself when I’m around, and somehow that turns into, “The baby is too clingy you need to put her in daycare.”

When my baby cries, I drop everything to comfort her, and I’m told I shouldn’t do that because I’m “making her clingy.”

I didn’t grow up dreaming of becoming a mother, but God chose me to be this child’s mother, and I intend to give her all my love, care, time, and dedication. It is my mission.

I pray to God every day.

The life I imagined didn’t happen, but I am grateful for what I’ve learned in these past four months.

I’ve learned to speak softly. I’ve learned patience.

What more could I ask for?

Every day, I just thank God for sending me my little honey bun. 💛

kissing a newborn

my mum and dad keep kissing my 4 week old baby. i let it slide when its his head or his cheek which to be honest i shouldn’t but ive caught my mum now kissing his lips , i told her the other day dont kiss his lips .. she then said im kissing his nose which i know is bull since i saw it in front of my eyes , today she then gave him a wet kiss on his lips, im beyond pissed off and she isn’t taking me seriously . what makes it worse is she is a health visitor who should know about newborns and how kissing on the face especially the lips is a big no no! oh and she was complaining not even an hour ago about how she had a runny nose.
