Transition from next to me cot to bedroom

So my little one is 4 months, and she’s a big girl! She’s starting to outgrow her next to me but I’m worried she’s too little to be in her own room yet (tbh it’s more I’m not ready yet) but when did you guys move baby to their own room and how did the transition go?

It all depends my first was 6 months as she was fine I slept on a blow up bed in her room for a bit lol, my second shes 14 months and hasn't moved yet haha shes just so tiny!! X

My daughter is 10 months and in her cot next to our bed. We turned the cot into a next to me bed effectively 😅 I also don't feel ready for her to go into her own room and don't plan to put her in there until she's at least over a year old, because I'm needy 😅

I moved my girl to her own room about 2 weeks ago, she was 6 months Saturday. Honestly; the transition was great and she was sleeping better than ever! I just didn’t put any pressure or have high expectations for the night ahead, and she slept 9-7 am with no wake ups! I honestly think the cot was better for her and comfier as she outgrew her next to me and had no room to move around x

I thought I would be! But I’m defo not ready to put my baby in her own room yet and she’s nearly 7 months and tbh probs have a few more
Months in me, but due to my baby being too bjg for next to me at 4 months I brought the cot into my room and tbh she sleeps so much better in her cot haha x

Only child - I cried this morning

I have a son who’s 2 and I do not want anymore. I suffer with mental health and I cannot have anymore due to that reason.
But my sister in law has said how sad she feels for my little boy being alone etc and it’s not fair that I will
Leave him alone and the guilt I feel is awful 😭😭😭 the thing is not one of my partners side of the family help us

Time flies- first time mom

I just wanted to share how I’m feeling and see if anyone else feels the same. My baby was born March 4th and he’s just turned 2 months. I find myself very emotional and sad that he has grown so much. At first I was so overwhelmed with fear of having to take care of a whole other human- he was so tiny- but now that he’s getting big I wish I could go back in time. Obviously it’s good he’s growing and is healthy but it’s so sad how time flies.

Am I being selfish?

My husband has had a lay in until 9am the last two mornings whilst I’ve taken the baby downstairs from 6am so he could have peace and quiet.

This morning was meant to be my turn for a lay in, he is cuddling the baby but he is crying in the bed and I say to him, I think he needs his nappy done as that’s why he is crying and he ignores me after I told him around 5 times that the nappy needs to be done as baby isn’t settling… so I took the baby off him and did the nappy myself and took baby downstairs and said to husband enjoy your lay in 😂

I don’t understand why he couldn’t just do the nappy or take him downstairs like I do for him 😫

Is anyone else’s husband like this?

What age was your first child when you had your second?

What age do think is best for your child to be before you have another one?

Little one won't eat

My baby woke up herself about an hour and 15 minutes ago, I've tried giving her bottle to her but she wont take it. She just keeps screaming. I've given her pacifier to her and she stays calm unless she loses it. Its been 4 hours since she has ate anything.

Not crawling

My LO just turned 8 months as isn’t crawling, not sure if I should be concerned.
He goes up on straight arms and pushing around and off things
