Cold

Hola Mamas, ive started co sleeping for the sake of surviving the sleep deprivation 6mo, I have read up on everything for safe sleeping and have 2 issues and would love to know what you're all doing, the duvet/comforter terrifies me, so its all off the bed except a little bit around me from the waist down... but im SO cold every night, and still scared ill move it in my sleep. Im so nervous infact its keeping me awake which is annoying because since co sleeping my LO is sleeping better...

How are you keeping warm AND making sure the blanket is set up safely? Am I missing something?

Hey! I put my baby high up near my face so I can cover up

I wear full length pjs, and quilt round my waist but I have seen some women use like little sleep bags for themselves. If you’re breastfeeding you can just pop the bag down and go! But it keeps you cocooned and warm😊

I did the same, the baby high up, also wore pants and long sleeve with buttons. I would get hot so I could open it if needed without having to get up and easily breastfeed.

As baby gets bigger it does become a lot less scary so hang in there!
In the meantime, I used a light blanket that’s fuzzy (while still taking all precautions) this made me feel a little better cause it’s not a heavy blanket but has extra warmth from the fuzziness. Also, I tried to teach my daughter how to pull a blanket down if there’s one over her face. It’s not perfect but it made me feel a bit more comfortable as a “just incase”

I folded the duvet in half, with the edges hanging down my side of the bed, and I lay between the two halves. The duvet didn't go anywhere near my daughter. After she got a floor bed and I started sleeping in there with her sometimes, I bought an adult Slumbersac.

I tucked the duvet under be for bottom halves and wear a not too heavy or loose jumper on top half, that being said always found it chilly unless my husband was in bed too!

I wore a fluffy onesie over my pjs

I will wear a thick cardigan when it’s cold. I have a duvet or thick blanket up to my hips.

Bath too hot?

I feel horrible, my baby is 4 months old and she usually likes her baths. And I’m usually good at reading the temperature before I put her in, but this time I feel like I wasn’t. She was ok initially but then all of a sudden as I was cleaning her hair she because fussy and her face changed. Then she because upset and wanted to move out of her bath seat. So I quickly picked her up as the crying got worse and her skin was hot. I then laid her on her mat to soothe her and let her cool down. She is ok now and back to her smiley self but I feel horrible knowing I put her in and it was too hot for her!!! ☹️☹️☹️

5 months pp, still don’t want sex…

I’m 5 months postpartum and it’s still painful to have sex. I had a C Section, so the scar still feels weird and uncomfortable being touched down there. Has anyone else gone through this? Is it normal or should I be worried?

Dr Google says my body could still be in shock from having a baby and it’s stopping me from enjoying anything.

Little one cries when my husband holds him

Our son is just over 5 weeks old, and for the past 2–3 weeks he cries almost every time my husband holds him. The only position he seems comfortable in is the “football” hold, but he won’t nap that way.

It’s becoming really stressful for both of us. I feel like I can’t properly nap, get ready, or let my husband settle him during the night without him crying, and I know it’s upsetting for my husband too. What makes it harder is that our son is happy and naps being held by other family members.

Is this something other parents have experienced, and does anyone have any advice or solutions that helped?

I cannot be the only mum heading to bed right after I put my toddler down????

I'm a SAHM with a 15 month old. She naps a total of 1 hour during the day. Still on 2 naps. I'm EXHAUSTED by 7.30pm when she goes to bed. She is up at 6am so I literally find myself crawling into bed the moment I've got her down. Sometimes I scroll for an hour. But sometimes I'm going straight to sleep.

Anyone with me???

Still not talking yet

My LO will be 18 months in a few weeks and still has not said their first word, they babble but thats as far as it gets. They know waving, high fives, points and kisses but they dont always do it. Its hard to get their attention by name. Im getting worried does anyone have advice or similar with their child?

Nappy size

What size nappies are your little people in now? I feel like we’re close to moving up to size 4 but I’m sure our first wasn’t in size 4 until much later 😅😅
