About 2 week old

We started introducing the crib at 4 months. His naps are in the crib and his first 1-2 sleep stretches. When he wakes up at night we still bring him to bed with us.

I have a 2 year old that I still co-sleep with. Baby bro starts in his own bed but joins us by 3am

5 months, still co-sleeping and love the cuddles. We try to practice naps in the crib once a day but usually contact nap or give up if he's restless. (My little guy is a cuddle bug) Plan to slowly transition when he's ready to start in the crib and then cosleeping the rest of the night and just keep increasing. But honestly, how long do you really get to cuddle your kiddo, it's such a special season (but also totally understand if you want bed space back)

Totally! I did have a friend who just kicked her hub to a different bed? Not saying that's a good solution. Also heard of putting bed on the floor and then hub can put another mattress next to the bigger bed? Idk not great solutions

Help. Are men really this lazy??

My boyfriend and I drunk till 4am on Friday night and I woke him at 7.45 on Saturday morning to open his front door to go to work. But he never messaged me till 3.40pm and said he was only wakened. He was really drunk on the Friday night but do guys really sleep this long ? I could never sleep this long no matter what!’

When did contact naps end for you?

When were you able to put your baby in a crib or bassinet for naps without your baby waking up or crying.

Putting the baby down

Hey, I have a 5 month old baby boy who is so clingy towards me. I absolutely love it and I love him to pieces; however I cannot get him to go down at all. I know they say co sleeping is dangerous, but I’ve done a lot of research and follow a lot of women who co sleep with their babies on instagram to make sure I do it the safest way possible because he just will not go in his crib. If I put him down, he instantly cries and will scream the place down until I pick him up. I don’t know what to do, I can’t get anything done around the house and my body is just so achey all the time from holding him 24/7. Any tips??? I’ve tried loads but nothing works, I can’t even get him on the dummy, he can’t keep it in his mouth and he just wants to eat his hands all the time x

Intimacy at 36 weeks

Are people still managing to have sex? The last few times we’ve had sex I’ve felt so much pressure down below that I’ve genuinely feared that I might go into labour. Wondering if it might be time to stop until baby is here? 🤷‍♀️

Overtiredness/over stimulation??

My baby is nearly 10 weeks old and he soothes with feeding or having a bottle in his mouth to sleep. It gets to like 6 or 7pm starts crying that much he gets himself in a state goes sweaty, really red and lots of tears. I try to follow his cues but even getting him to sleep is difficult without the feeding to sleep association any help xx

8 week old feeding

My LO is 8 weeks old, and we have been combi feeding hut mostly formula fed with 2 feeds a day breast fed. He’s currently going through a phase where he’s only drinking 2 oz at a time, goes about 1.5hr/2hrs then drinks another 2oz. He also seems to be quite sleepy at the moment and will have about an hour wake window in between feeds, but sometimes less or sometimes he’ll just fall back asleep. Often he falls asleep mid feed. I’m just worried he’s not currently eating enough for his age. He does eat slightly more in the middle of the night (can do 4oz), so I would say it’s more in the day. How much is everyone else’s 8 week old eating?
