Sleeping arrangements

My baby doesn’t transfer easy so I’m thinking about just buying him a floor bed and selling the crib he’s never used 🤣 he still sleeps in the bassinet for now

My eldest never slept in the cot. As soon as we put him into a double bed it was a game changer. I didn’t even bother buying a cot for baby number 2. She went straight into a single floor bed 👌🏻

Honestly cots never worked for us and I knew they wouldn’t. With my first I got a floor bed at 6 months and slept with her in her room and co slept it was great having a baby sleep through from 6 months (still sleeps through at 6years!) and I now have a 12 week old who I co-sleep with and will have a floor bed too, didn’t waste money getting a cot and my 12 week old wakes just once a night for a feed. Get the floor bed you won’t regret it x

AITA

Should I be mad that my husband sleeps all day long…? He works 4pm-12am but doesn’t go to bed till around 2:30am… then he sleeps until 2-3pm… he misses almost all of the day with his 2 year old child and I’m currently pregnant with baby #2… idk if it’s pregnancy hormones but it just makes me so irritated and depressed because he literally misses out on everything…

When do you stop using a baby monitor?

So I’ve been using a camera baby monitor since birth and still use it now (she’s now 3)
So my question is are you all still using your monitors or when did you stop?

I love the fact that I can keep checking on her when she’s sleeping or if she stirs in the night I can see her and know if I need to go in her room or not, she’s a light sleeper too so if she stirs in the night and I got in her room she would be wide awake again 🫣 but she also settles herself amazingly well too if not disturbed.

Colostrum harvesting

Going to try and collect my colostrum for the first time tonight.
My nipples have leaked colostrum for a fair while now however only just hit 37 weeks.
Please can I have people’s tips and tricks to have a successful harvest.

(Am aware I might not get much the first few times just want it to be a comfortable experience)

Thank you xx

Nappies

any suggestions on good nappies??? we used pampers for the first 5 months however there quite pricy and we had regular poonarmis even after sizing up and stuff so we tried aldi nappies and again every poo ends up being a poonarmi and she also ends up leaking through with wee in the night so wondered if there were any ones better?

Not crawling or rolling back to tummy

Baby is 32 weeks tomorrow - is that 7.5 months?!

But still not crawling or wanting to roll back to tummy - why do I feel stressed that she isn’t doing this yet!
I encourage rolling every day but because she sat from around 5 months she has no interest in rolling.
Seeing other people’s posts on how much their baby is doing is making me feel a little stressed! ..
anyone feeling the same??

Finally weaned (hormon balancing?

Finally weaned my 1 year old. And it too a village. But now I've got a flood of emotions, I want to cry constantly. I don't but I want to. Has anyone experienced this and how did you cope? What's the new balance when your not your child's source of food anymore. With my son I got sick so I couldnt keep breasting feeding him so it was a bit different.
