We got a next to me crib while pregnant with the idea it would last longer than a moses basket however for us the little one struggled to settle in it as a newborn and we ended up after 3 days struggling buying a moses basket and he settled in that straight away. The next to me was used once he got a bit bigger for a good while until we got the cot bed.
Midwife said that it's a common thing that they feel too big for the newborn but I suppose it all depends on the baby too.

The shnuggle is amazing, goes from next to me to cot and not much more expensive

We just got a Moses basket and he was in it until he was at least 6 months. https://www.argos.co.uk/product/3870969

They are in it for such a short amount of time I personally wouldn’t go mad and spend loads

We had the Moses basket and snuzpod, loved and used both. I got the snuzpod off marketplace and bought a little green sheep mattress to go in it x

I love my snuzpod studio. More sturdy than some of the plastic ones.
I had a Snuz for my first as well lasted 7 years in storage, last year and got mouldy so had to buy new and did the studio.

Worked really well for my lil lady..she loves she can see stuff through side mesh, and scratches it and feels super happy and cozy!

Loved our snuzpod. Bought off FB and since been used for both my babies and a friend’s. About to go to another friend due this summer!

We have a snuzpod and love it ♥️
I bought a 2nd hand one for £10 off market place then bought a new mattress direct from snuzpod.
We got a snuzpod 4 which can rock or have slightly elevated which helped with reflux ♥️

I was given a Moses basket and a Joie glide next to me…the Moses we kept downstairs and the next to me was used with a dokatot inside to make baby feel snug and secure-we did this for 9 weeks until baby got to big for it and then we removed the dokatot and now he sleeps in the Moses x

Yesss! I loved my next to me...it kept the babies safe from their dad crushing them in the bed, yet they we're right next to me as if we were in the same bed.

Sleeping bags

I’m a FTM looking for some advice please.

I’ve just started putting my 9 week old in her sleeping bag at night the temperature when we go to bed is around 20/21 degrees I have been putting her in a 1 tog sleeping bag with her sleepsuit per the guide on the sleep bag. The temperature is dropping to about 16/17 degrees throughout the night making it colder.

Would you continue to put her in the 1 tog or would you put her in a warmer tog when she’s going to bed knowing the temperature is going to drop? I am worried about overheating her. TIA xx

Did anyone else not really love breastfeeding?

I breastfed for 18 months and it was more because I knew it was good for baby and then when we got into it, it was for convenience and ease. But I also felt that it took things away like baby being able to spend long periods of time with family (he wouldn’t take a bottle), and also I had a lack of freedom lol.
I’d do it again and don’t regret it but I never got the “I love breastfeeding, I love the closeness, it’s magical” kinda feeling that I read people talking about.

18 month old still has witching hour?

Help?!!!! My 18 month old from the day he was born has been absolute hell past 4pm. No matter how much sleep he has he whinges and cries at EVERY thing, all evening. My partner is really stressed out with it, as we thought by now he might have grown out of it. He’s sleeps 7:30pm- 6am, and 11:30-1:30 day nap. Eats WELL, that is what he actually mostly whinges at now… Always screaming at the kitchen cupboards. I don’t know what to do😩 is this happening to anyone else

Sleep training

Has anyone got any advice on sleep training? My nearly 15 week old is fine at night sleeps in her moses basket in our room still but in the day she will not go down in the cot in the living room as soon as I put her down she’s awake and won’t go back to sleep 😩

Period & milk supply

Did anyone find that when they got their period their milk supply got less? Think my first period is starting and noticed I'm finding I'm pumping less and less milk at the moment and wonder if they're connected.
