Any tips on how to get my 6 month old to sleep in her crib?

Her crib is in the same room as us, but she has been bed sharing with us since she was about a month old.

Will you be comfortable putting the crib in her nursery? That’s what worked for us! We also had a projector that put things on the ceiling that would help him drift off to sleep! Although we’ve never co slept I feel those things could work for you!

Could you hold her hand through the bars

Random one, but if you sleep with/wear their sleeping bag/sheet or something from their bed for a few hours. Then when they get in their bed it still smells like being with you.

AnE ??

Maybe I’m over panicking here - all day my son (3) has thrown up, if he ate (toast) he throws up, even without stomach contents he’s throwing up, has water, he throws up - he hasn’t weed since 9am when he did a poop. He’s very tired - this is a AnE trip right or am I overreacting ?

I’m already packing a bag as I write this but…am I being a panicked mum here

Going out during one and only nap

How do you do it?! I took my daughter out this morning and she fell asleep for 15 mins in the buggy at about 11am, and has been resisting her main nap today. Do you keep babies in the house in the morning to avoid this occurring? How do you do it?

HELP! Mums that have got through the carrier stage…

My daughter is 3.5 months and sleeps well overnight but won’t go anywhere during the day for a nap except the carrier. Great because I can be on the go and I know she will sleep for up to two hours in there, but I’m starting to feel quite claustrophobic which zero time to myself.

How have people in a similar boat managed this please? If I put her in the pram and walk, she will sometimes scream for the entire thing (up to an hour) regardless of how many times I pick her up and put her down. It can be soul destroying. Occasionally she will go to sleep but I absolutely can’t rely on it as it’s maybe one in 10 times.

Any help on how to tackle v appreciated. If I could get to one pram or cot nap a day I’d be so happy! Thanks for reading x

Sleep!

Has anyone got any tips for easing tiredness for the newborn stage?? Me and my bf do shifts atm where we have about 6 hrs sleep each but we’re still absolutely knackered. I know this is just how it is going to be for a while but did anything help anyone? There’s only so much coffee I can drink and it’s not really cutting it🤣
