Co-sleeping

Have tried to put baby in the next to me but he is refusing. He is currently sleeping in the najell sleep carrier between me and my husband. Any advice? Co-sleeping is making me anxious!

look up safe sleep 7 for cosleeping and follow that. rested baby & mama is best as long as you’re doing it safely x

My hubby is really against co sleeping and I also am in a way. We sleep in seperate rooms when he is working he came on really worried this morning but I was awake and baby was flat out next to me. Going with the lullaby trust recommendations. I have found I have only needed to do it a handful of times and she will go into the next to me though. X

Had a September 25 baby. Me and my baby have been co-sleeping from day one. We kicked dad out months ago. To me it’s the safest option. I am there to monitor his every need.

Last night as we were going to sleep, all quiet , randomly BAM a heavy slap that actually burned my cheek... Ive been doing gentle parenting , saying " no, its not nice " lets be gentle like this *showing how to gently caress someone s face* ... idk what to do anymore... If I can see something coming, I'll stop it before he actually hits me ...but sometimes its just rlly random.. pls help 😔😔

Formula feeding mums

I’m a formula feeding mum never tried breast feeding as I know it would over stimulate me. Does any other formula feeding mums feel judged sometimes for not breastfeeding or even trying to breast feeding?

Do you validate your toddlers feelings all the time?

I see so many posts about validating a toddlers feelings, and curious to know if other moms agree with it or disagree. I don't agree with it because they should start learning early on their emotions should match the situation.

16 month old only says cat and mama

How many words do your babies have? My baby is bilingual (or will be), she understands so much, but only has a couple of words.

Swaddle Transition

Hey moms! 🤍

My name is Gabi, and I’m a first-time mom. My baby will be 7 weeks old tomorrow, and recently I’ve noticed that when he’s swaddled, he keeps escaping and wakes up with one or sometimes both arms out.

I did a little research and saw a lot of recommendations for the Love to Dream swaddle. I understand the concept, but I’m not sure I love it for my baby. I also came across a couple of other transitional swaddles on Amazon—the Omni Swaddle Sack and the 4-Way Houdini-Proof Swaddle Sack—but now I’m second-guessing what to choose.

Before swaddling, we were co-sleeping, and he actually slept really well on his belly. Even now, he seems most comfortable napping on his belly.

I’d love to hear your experiences or recommendations—what worked for your babies during this transition?
