Hey

How many weeks/ months were your kids when you put them in their own room from your room (co sleeping)? I just did it as almost 6 weeks due to pressuring from my mother… should she sleep in my room still?

6 months in the next to me, not really supposed to be in their own room until then due to SIDs risk and because your breathing helps them regulate yours etc x

It’s up to you. I didn’t like the idea of her sleeping in the same room as us, after all I am married and bedroom is for our marriage activities and didnt want to tiptoe around her. Plus she’s a loud sleeper and her grunts and noises kept me up all night and I get no sleep lol. When we travel i dread the nights cause she does share a room with us and lol I’m just on edge all night. First 2 weeks she was with us just because it’s all new and cluster feeding. Then she went into her own room, on and off we brought her in like when she was sick or having bad cluster nights but other than that she sleeps happily in her room to this day (she’s 5 months) I like that because I don’t have to deal with transfer later and possibly shocking her by her being all alone now to sleep

Next to me crib

How do you get newborn to sleep in the next to me?

I have tried but end up giving up, going downstairs putting him in the carry cot and he is absolutely fine/drifts off!

Ive tried putting a top in the next to me so he can smell me but that doesn't seem to work.

Environment is the same; dark room etc.

He's 7 days old today, is it just perseverance and eventually he will just do it? Or are there any tips to encourage him to stay/sleep in the next 2 me?

2 stages in one!

3 months in and WOW… nobody warned me about this stage 😂😭

One minute she’s smiling, cooing, the sweetest little angel…
Next minute I’m being screamed at because I dared to change her nappy or put a sleeve on the wrong arm 🙃

Apparently this is a “developmental leap” AND the start of an early sleep regression…
I call it:
✨ tiny human with BIG emotions and zero patience (and no interest in sleep) ✨

We’ve got:
• 30 minute naps
• dramatic outfit changes
• only-mum-will-do moments
• random meltdowns for absolutely no reason (or all the reasons??)
• and a sleep schedule that changes its mind daily 😅

But also… the smiles, the cuddles, the way she settles on me like I’m her whole world 🥹

So yeah… it’s a lot right now.
Messy, exhausting, emotional… but still somehow the best thing ever.

Anyone else in the trenches with a 3 month old? Send help… or snacks 😅🤍

Food shopping

Please help how to do a food shop with a 4 month old! At the moment I put her car seat in a shallow trolley and can only buy limited stuff till its full and fill my massive bag on the hook which isn't enough. She can't sit up so can't go in the sit up ones, I can't wear her for that long takes about 15 minutes and my back feels like its going to break, the pram storage only holds limited stuff I wonder if I'm missing something obvious? I know you can get ones to put the car seat in but there's never been one available when I've been! Any help would be grateful

Unpopular opinion 👀

Baby sleep consultants have made an industry out of exhausted mums wanting a ‘fix’ to their babies sleep, even though there’s no such thing

Breast pumps

I need suggestions on wearable non expensive breast pumps, I’ve heard about the momcozy ones but they’re way out of my price range, I’m looking for one that is strong as the one I have now is just so weak and does nothing

Has anyone suffered with skin tags after giving birth?

The doctors advice is you have to live with it, how awful is that!
