My firstborn was in our bed up until she was around 1 year old, she then slept in a cot right beside the bed and still climbs in every now and again. The only reason we made this transition was because I was pregnant and it just became impossible. So currently my second baby, who is 6 months old is in our bed and my 19 month old is at arm's reach in her cot.
I know this sounds absolutely loony but I cannot imagine ever putting them both in their own room. Does anyone else feel like this? I feel like I sleep better knowing they are right beside me. I think it's me that can't deal with the transition into their own rooms nevermind them. Am I crazy, Ive got several friends who couldn't wait to put their babies in a separate room, to me it's not something I'm in any hurry to do. I don't know anyone who feels the same and it makes me feel like I'm the one with an issue.

Not at all mama! The thought of no longer co sleeping with my baby makes me want to cry 😭 It can sound odd but theres something so special about being right there for them all night

Me! I love having my babies with me. I sleep better with them or near them, and knowing I can quickly resettle them if they wake up. I was gutted when I had to move rooms from my 2 year old when we had our newborn in Feb, he kicks around so much in our bed at night I was too scared of him hurting him by accident (he sleeps with my husband, sometimes in his cot for a few hrs then goes into his bed and I'm in another room with our newborn). Am hoping we'll be able to share a room/bed again when baby is a bit older, until they don't need us at night. I'll take as many snuggles as I can!

Western society is weird. What you're inituiting (made that word up I guess) is biologically normal.
Maybe when they're like 7. Haha.

We moved our oldest to her own room at 16 months when I was pregnant (we had a jack and Jill bedroom/bathroom and kept the doors open). We just moved out youngest about a month before she turned 2 but they both still end up in our bed 😂

I’m the same both of my boys sleep with me. I can’t get myself to put them in the other room. I won’t be able to sleep fs

We are many lol and definitely not a ‘you’ problem either. Still struggling with this myself, but taking my time. They’re only little once and when the time comes they will move to their own room. You sleep well and they sleep well because it’s natural and biological. So take all the time you want xx

Me. Our 3 yr old has her bed at the end of our bed...and has slept in there ONCE 😂 she sleeps in between my wife and I. She is 3. Our 6mth old? Sleeps on my side.
Im okay with that. I was a kid who snuck into my mother's room at night when she was asleep to sleep at the foot of her bed. If she was awake and sent me out I snuck into my older sisters room until I was like 8😂 my wife? She slept with her parents until she was about 4. 🤷🏾♀️ so we're okay with our babies sleeping in our bed. This stage won't last long.
I have been referred to social services due to a cancelled abortion clinic appt as they were worried about emotional abuse/coercive control. I have another toddler already. Feeling very stressed and anxious. Has anyone had this experience themselves or have any experience of social services assessment? They advised they will be visiting me.

Baby girl is 6 weeks. Had her first proper poo-splosion yesterday. White vest. Pink sleepsuite. Does poo just not come out?!?! It’s been washed twice and still has very prominent yellow stains😳😳 am I missing a trick?! Or is my babies poo just fairy bio proof 🤣😭. Any tips greatly welcomed!!!

My daughter is 16 weeks old now and prior to about 2 weeks ago she used to be such a good sleeper at night. One maybe 2 wakes at most and she slept through the night a handful of times!
Since she hit 14 weeks, everything changed 😅 she wakes up constantly all night, 5-10 times a night.. I’m exhausted! I think the 4 month sleep regression came a little early for us ?
We’re 2 weeks into it now with no sign of it getting any better, how long can I expect this to go on for? Will she ever be a good sleeper again? 😫

How long do you spend burping during the night before giving up?

What’s your routine with your newborn? I have 5 week old and looking to see what other mums do with their baby ie routine wise

11 months after having a baby and we had sex probably twice or 3 times I can't even remember. I love my husband so much that i feel sorry for him. I have zero libido but I don't mind trying, it's just the thought of it makes me feel sick like I have never had sex before in my whole life. If someone was in the same place what did you do? I co sleep and breast feed for context.
