Scared about nursery

Almost 1yo starts settling into nursery this week. She’s mostly contact naps and breastfeeds a few times during the day.

I’m scared she’ll struggle to sleep, or won’t eat much and be hungry, or will feel abandoned. I feel horrible. I spent most of my mat leave struggling and now that it’s time for it to end, I feel so sad about leaving her.

Any advice?

Rockit

Does anyone recommend a rockit or a similar brand? Are they worth it? Does it make a difference to your LOs naps?

Gerber

Bought these whilst in Tenerife (I bought 3 packs)
Just wondering if anyone knows if I can get anything like these in England? My baby boy is obsessed with them!

Comforting a breastfed baby

I'm finding the only way I can soothe my 3 week old baby is by putting her on the boob! Others can rock/sway her and shes off to sleep no problem but she doesn't settle with me like this. I don't think she's clusterfeeding and she is full because she tends to bring up whatever she drinks during these comfort feeds. Any advice or is this just life with a breastfed baby? 🫠

Jabs in this heat?

Baby is due her final set of jabs tomorrow morning, but I'm wondering whether to postpone them to next week because of the heat. I think they're less likely to have a fever with the final lot. Anyone else in this situation? It's a half hour walk to the GP as well as I don't drive 😭

Baby only contact naps

Hey, I am a FTM and have a 10 week old little girl. I really struggle with getting her to settle in a Moses or a crib during the day. She won’t stay down for more than a few minutes to 20 minutes maximum. I have tried putting her down drowsy but not awake and I’ve tried when she is in a deep sleep and also tried every way possible to help her settle. Now I absolutely love the contact naps but would like some time in the day for me! Anyone else struggling with this?
